FAQs – Thom Windsor
The following is an exhaustive set of FAQs we have compiled to help you find answers to any queries you may have about our products and other related topics about buying them.
If you want to cancel your order, the first thing you would be required to do is to contact us. We will strive to ensure your order is canceled with minimum hassle.
Sometimes we may be unable to process your request for order cancelation immediately. This happens usually in the event that the package has already been shipped by us by the time we receive your cancellation request. In that case we contact our courier to have the package returned to our warehouse once it reaches its geographic destination or, if possible, from a transit location if any. In such a situation we will not be able to process and complete the cancellation request till the package has been returned duly to our warehouse.
Unfortunately, you will not be able to change your order. As per our policy, an order cannot be changed once a product and quantity of product has been selected.
A feasible alternative in such a situation would be to get in touch with us immediately and cancel the order if it is incorrect or not as per your requirements. Once you have canceled the order, you can place a fresh order on our website at your convenience.
If you order a watch with us from the product page on our website, you get a strap or wristband along with the watch face.
- You also have the option of buying additional straps or wristbands on our website to complement your watch order. To do this:
- Go to the Accessories page of our website.
- Click on the wristband or strap of your choice.
And if you desire, you can pick up other additional accessories to go with the watch as well. Do take time to browse through our site and find accessories that you like and that match your watch.
We take every step possible to deliver your order to you in the quickest possible time. Quality of service has been one of the core focus areas of our business and we do everything required to ensure we do not slip on any front.
Our order processing and delivery process is simple and efficient and designed to avoid delays in delivery. Once you have placed your order with us, it is processed at the warehouse within one business day.
Once an order is processed, it is picked up, packed, and dispatched to the address you have provided for delivery. It takes between 3 to 5 business days for your order to reach you; however, this is just an estimate and not an actual concrete delivery timeline for delivery to all locations. Delivery time also depends on the location from where you have booked the order.
There are other external factors as well that are outside the control of ThomWindsor that may affect the delivery time for a product. These factors could possibly include, but are not limited to:
- Technical glitches
- Issues arising out of delays at customs
- Extreme weather conditions
Please note that we do not transport or ship packages on weekends and also local public holidays; so those would also have to be factored in while assessing the possible date of order delivery. Delivery timelines may also be impacted negatively during the season of promotional campaigns and other such activities at ThomWindsor.

PRODUCT INFO
Yes, all ThomWindsor watches are waterproof. Each watch in our collection has water resistance capabilities to the tune of 3ATM. However, this only means that the watches are resistant to rainfall.
It is our recommendation that you avoid as much as possible contact with water. Make it a point to avoid wearing the watch in the shower while bathing, or while swimming or diving. It is safer to avoid wearing the watch when you are involved in any activity that brings you directly in contact with water.
Please note: our 24-month warranty for the watches does not cover damage caused by exposure to water.
There are two ways of ensuring that the ThomWindsor watch you have bought is authentic:
- Buy it directly on our website.
- Buy it from an authorized ThomWindsor retailer.
ThomWindsor watches are also available on third party e-commerce platforms like Groupon, E-Bay, and Amazon. However, we cannot guarantee the authenticity of a ThomWindsor product bought on such a platform. There is the inherent risk of buying a product that is defective, used, or even fake.
ThomWindsor watch wristbands are crafted from leather. This makes it slightly tricky to wash them; our recommendation is that you refrain from washing them using water. There is a possibility of the leather drying up or getting damaged owing to exposure to water.
If you are keen on cleaning your wristband you could try taking it to your local watch store. There would most likely be cleaning products available with them for cleaning up leather goods.
The following are the sizes for the different watches in the ThomWindsor collection.
