Buy Your Watch reviews, and how to check them
Every rating and every quote on this page comes from our Google Business listing. We did not write them, we cannot edit them, and each reviewer's name links to their own Google profile so you can see the person behind the words.
In their words
The reviews Google returns
Google's API hands back at most five reviews for a listing, sorted by most relevant. These are those five, unedited, spelling and punctuation included. Every one of them is a five-star review, because that is what Google returned. The average across the whole listing is 4.9, so not every review on it is.

I recently sold my watch through this dealer and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. James and Danny were both professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to deal with, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. Communication was clear the entire time, and I felt confident I was getting a fair and honest deal. Everything was handled efficiently, and the payment was prompt. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a watch—great service all around.

I recently sold my watch here and had a really great experience. James made Everything super smooth and easy, and the whole process felt very professional but also friendly. Communication was clear, the offer was fair, and the payment was made instantly just as promised. It’s not often you come across such a straightforward and trustworthy service. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell without any stress. Thanks again for making it such an easy process!

Just sold my watch through Buy Your Watch and couldn’t be happier! Reached out to James for a quote and had the whole thing wrapped up in under 48 hours. The buyout price was fair, and he made everything super easy with clear instructions for drop-off and authentication. The process was seamless, professional, and lightning-quick — I walked out with my payout on the spot. Highly recommend them if you’re selling (or buying). I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the market for a new piece. Top-notch service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Andy, James and Max made the whole process with Buy Your Watch feel easy and straightforward. The watch is premium quality, beautifully presented, and you can tell they really care about what they sell. Customer service was fantastic, the guys are super helpful and reassuring throughout. I’d happily recommend them.

I had the pleasure working with Max and Andy in selling my Rolex Day Date, everything was smooth, simple and professional. The quality in service was everything, both very knowledgeable about watches and the market - would highly, highly recommend using them for all watch needs. I will be seeing you both again very soon! 5/5 stars, thank you!

What this page is, and what it is not
Reviews are the easiest thing on a website to stage, so it is worth being exact about where these came from and what they can and cannot tell you.
The reviews belong to Google, not to us
They sit on our Google Business listing. We cannot write one, edit one, delete one or change the order they come back in. Each name above links to that reviewer's own Google profile, so you can confirm an account with its own history left it.
Five is a ceiling, not a shortlist
Google's Places API returns at most five reviews for a listing and offers no way to page through the rest, so five is what this page can show automatically. The rest are on the listing, one click away. Transcribing them onto this page by hand would make us the editor of our own reviews, which is the thing worth avoiding.
The figures here are a snapshot
The rating and the review count were read from Google on 20 August 2026 and committed to the site, so they are in this page's HTML rather than appearing after it loads. The cost of that is real: they move only when we refresh them. The Google listing carries today's number.
Nothing on this page is a testimonial we wrote
Every quote here came back from Google's API for our listing, and every name links to the reviewer's own Google profile. We did not write, select or edit any of them. If a quote cannot be opened on Google, it is not on this page.

Questions
Questions about our reviews
If the answer to one of these is not checkable somewhere other than this website, it is not much of an answer.
Is Buy Your Watch a legitimate business?
Yes, and you do not have to take our word for it. The registered entity is BUY YOUR WATCH PTY LTD, ACN 670 502 315, ABN 85 670 502 315, active from 14 August 2023 and viewable on the public ABN Lookup register. We also hold Second-Hand Dealer and Pawnbroker Licence No. SHD-0017882, issued in Victoria, which is the licence the lending side of the business operates under, and Consumer Affairs Victoria maintains a public register of licensees.
How can I check these reviews are genuine?
Two ways, both of them off this website. Every reviewer's name links to their public Google contributor profile, so you can see the account and what else it has reviewed. The rating links to our Google Business listing, where the reviews are hosted. The figures shown here are 4.9 out of 5 from 64 Google reviews as at 20 August 2026, and the listing carries the live number.
Do you pay for reviews, or remove the bad ones?
No to the first, and we could not do the second even if we wanted to. The reviews are hosted by Google on its own listing, not on our servers, so they are not ours to edit, delete or reorder. Our average is not a perfect five, and the listing is where you will find the reviews that are not five stars.
Who are James, Andy, Danny and Max in the reviews?
They are the people those customers dealt with. We do not publish job titles, biographies or credentials for anyone here, because a title on our own website is not something a reader can check. Max Summers is the owner of the business and writes the guides on this site.
