The Onaro warranty aligns with the terms and conditions specified in the manufacturer's warranty. It's important to highlight that the standard manufacturer warranty excludes coverage for the following: theft or loss of your watch, wear-and-tear, accidental damage and water damage sustained from submersion in water, which contradicts the manufacturer's guidelines. Additionally, if there has been any modifications made to the watch this will invalidate your warranty, This includes the addition or substitution of components with aftermarket products not supplied by the manufacturer. If your watch has a mechanical fault and still has an active manufactuers warranty, we require you to inform us prior to taking your watch to another dealer or manufactuer approved repairer. Failure to do so will void your warranty with Onaro and we will not be liable for any costs associated with the repair. When sending an item back to us for a warranty claim, you will be liable for the cost and arrangement of adequate insurance for your watch to be shipped back to us.

If the watch your purchased still has an active manufactuers warranty then you would send the watch back to the manufactuer for repair. This can be done via us or by visiting your local authorised dealer. Please note that we require you inform us if you plan to take your watch to another dealer or manufactuer approved repairer in advance.
