eWatches.com and it's retail store in Bountiful, Utah called "The Time Zone" is one of a small group of Seiko Authorized Internet Retailer Sites carefully selected by Seiko to represent their products online. Due to Seiko's concern with the large number of unauthorized sites on the web selling Seiko watches of questionable origin and condition, Seiko has appointed a select group of sites to be their authorized retailer sites effective July 1, 2006.

Seiko Watch Corporation has published the following statement on their www.seikousa.com Website:
SEIKO on the Internet

Seiko believes that the best way for you to select and directly purchase a SEIKO watch is through one of its Authorized Internet Retailers. In this way, you'll be sure to find the latest SEIKO collection, and be sure that your new watch bracelet will be sized and fitted correctly.

SEIKO, therefore, recommends that you do not purchase a SEIKO watch through any website, unless it is a SEIKO Authorized Internet Retailer with the emblem "SEIKO AUTHORIZED RETAILER SITE" as appears here on this home page , and has its own retail premises that you can visit. Some non-authorized sites may sell counterfeit or second-hand watches, watches not intended for sale in the US, or watches that have been tampered with, and are, therefore, not eligible for care under the SEIKO warranty. Others do not offer the original SEIKO warranty, nor do they offer any after-sales service of any kind.

SEIKO takes great care to ensure that our SEIKO Authorized Internet Retailers offer you the very best products and service. Please take advantage of the peace-of-mind that only they can offer to SEIKO purchasers.
