Jomashop Review
If you’ve ever been in the market for a quality wrist watch, you’ve probably heard of Jomashop.
Jomashop is a grey market seller for the wrist watch industry. Similar to BJ’s Wholesale Club or a used car dealer, which would also be referred to as grey market sellers. Jomashop has been around for a while now and has gathered a positive reputation and trust within the community. They are one of the most popular options for buying a luxury watches online for both men and women.
Where does Jomashop get their watches?
Jomashop purchases their inventory at a wholesale price and resells them at a lower than retail cost. A majority of Jomashop’s purchases are directly through manufacturer-authorized dealers. These authorized dealers benefit from grey market sellers like Jomashop with an opportunity to unload out-of-date inventory in order to recover some cash and purchase the latest inventory direct from the manufacturers. By purchasing from places like Jomashop, you are able to purchase slightly older model watches, often times at discounted prices.
This grey market movement is beneficial for finding watches like a Seiko Sarb033 before it hits the used market and becomes price gouged.
Is Jomashop reliable?
Jomashop’s reliability lies under two categories; ratings, and authenticity. Both of which mold a reliable company.
Ratings
Jomashop shows how much they care about the product and the customer by investing their time into making sure the customer is satisfied. Earning themselves impressively high rankings in the following:
eBay: 99% feedback score with over 140,000 ratings
Amazon: 4.9 stars with over 77,000 ratings
Shopper Approved: 4.7 stars with about 632,000 ratings
Better Business Bureau: A+ Rating
It is worth mentioning that the customer support noted by members of the /r/watches community, a dedicated forum of watch enthusiasts, have been average at best. Jomashop’s customer support often times falls short and aligns more with a typical or below average customer service experience.
Authenticity
Grey market sellers can’t sell fake watches. When purchasing from Jomashop, it is entirely safe to assume that their watches are authentic. When purchasing an authentic watch, especially a Patek Philippe or a Rolex, you can feel confident that these watches are built to the highest of standards.
Not all Jomashop watches include the original box or papers. Some watches may have been display models and therefore do not include them. The few watches I have purchased from Jomashop did come with the original box.
Do Your Own Research
It is always important to do your own research. If you’re unsure about something then don’t sweat it. There are plenty of wonderful wristwatch sellers out there. If you’re not convinced that Jomashop is legit, then perhaps try purchasing a $50 Invicta watch when considering a $750 Hamilton Jazzmaster. This will help you a feel for the experience, so you know what to expect in terms of shipping time and customer support.

The Bottom Line
Jomashop carries thousands of amazing watches at discounted prices. Their inventory is increasing day by day. It is the perfect palce to find a watch that you missed out on purchasing from a manufactured-authorized seller or direct from manufacturer. There is a great chance you can find that the special watch you’re looking for.
I myself am personally satisfied with experience with Jomashop and would recommend them to any watch enthusiast looking for their next timepiece.
