    Questions answered. But with my part timers my retention leaves a lot to be desired. I know I purchased a 1 year membership package that enables me something that I'm not sure what all it includes. The sales person told me but I can't remember. I thought it would tell that information on the order form so I didn't keep asking him. I already asked him too many questions that he answered I didn't want to take up any more of his time. If I could get this information so I can keep it in my files. I have started for "Stauer" it will make my wife happier and make my life easier. Thank you.

    At first I called to complain that the free Vela watch that I got on a previous order was dead on arrival. We looked at alternative watches and I bought an upgrade. Phil was so charming I forgot my anger that the Vela watch did not work. It was not even worth my time to send it back. I hope the Centurion II watch works better. Sku27683.

    This is not the first time I have placed an order and I am sure it "probably" will NOT be my last. My wife comes in and tells me to "order this for me" and I do. Yea, I know, me and the dog, "both housebroke". To the point- ordering was very simple, just filled out the form provided and am waiting for the item to arrive. The items have never been misrepresented. Tracking is provided which allows us to know where our order is and about when it will arrive (extremely important to my lovely wife). We have always received excellent service and great quality. We would recommend Stauer to anyone.

    The person who helped me place the order was very friendly and helpful. The product is quickly on its way. The $50 dollar savings offer was helpful but partially negated by the shipping costs and would have been eradicated entirely by the added insurance offered.

    First I tried to order a watch online from an advertisement in Auto Week. The website was slow, hung many times and I was never able to complete my transaction. So I called the toll free number. It took several times to connect correctly to give call center (FYI - I manage the technical end of a global Call Center). Then after I ordered the watch the "Salesman" tried to sell me the replacement plan. I said no, he continued to pressure me, I said no again, he still continued. Finally he stop and then tried to sell me some other jewelry. Again I said no. He continued to push. Then he tried to sell me on joining some buyers club. Again I said no, again he continued to push. He said almost all of our customers come back and buy again. I told him "After this phone call I will never call your company again." He became very curt and finally finished the call quickly.

    My ordering experience went just fine. The delivery time was also fine. I am very pleased with the Helenite pendant and stud earrings I received. I am disappointed with the Ethiopian opal anniversary ring and stud earrings. The ones I received looked nothing like the picture or written description I saw. The picture showed brilliant green, blue, red and yellow colors in the opals. A written description also stated that the Ethiopian opals were known for their brilliant colors. The opals I received are basically a milky white with a little bit of yellow. They were not at all what I was expecting.

    I just received my Hybrid Watch and was going to set the time as instructed and when I went to pull out the main stem on the watch it was stuck and then gave way and the entire stem came out of the watch. It went back in but you could not set time or even get it to make the second hand move. I have sent it back to be replaced which I hope happens, because it looked like a great watch that I would enjoy for many years to come.

    If you to decide to stick me with the watch then fine I will report about it on the internet which is where I heard of your products in the first place. If there are any questions about the watch please do not hesitate to call me and I will try to explain it to the best of my abilities. I truly do not know why the stem came out. After it would not come out I released it and then pulled again and that's when it gave way and simply pulled all the way out of the watch. I was not pulling that hard either because I was just trying to get it to come out one click so I could set the time. Please let me know if there is any problem with this.

    I was totally satisfied with the phone purchase up to the part where the salesperson began trying to aggressively sell me the kitchen sink. I became a bit irritated after I informed the person that I was not buying anything else and needed to hurry with the closing of the deal as I needed to go someplace and he just kept going on and on and on. I came close to canceling the phone order. I am sure he was only doing what he was told to do and was protecting his job, so I am upset with his supervisors for having him lean on customers so hard. When a customer says they do not want to buy anything else then the salesperson should be instructed to skip over the routine sales pitch. Like I said, I came within about ten seconds of canceling the entire order.

    I called to order this time, even though I usually order online. The representative I spoke with - Brad - was great. He helped get me the best deal, signed me up for membership, and got me a warranty for the two rings I was ordering. He was friendly and helpful, but what really got me was his familiarity with the jewelry. So often, when I order things, the reps aren't familiar with the products. However, Brad was, and it was such a nice change! He agreed that the items I was ordering were very nice, which gave me even more confidence in my purchase.

    I also mentioned to him the set that I want to buy for myself when I finish my masters, and he knew right away with my very vague description which set I was talking about. He said he had purchased it for his wife and that she really liked it. Now I want it even more! I have never had a bad purchase from Stauer. I love all of my jewelry that I have received from Stauer. The quality is great. I love the unique settings, and the stones are always so perfectly clear and beautiful. I've also never lost a stone or even had one come loose. Thank you!

    Original Review: Sept. 15, 2016

    I am right now very upset. I had placed order# ** on 09/09/16 and explained to the sales rep that I wanted to see if I can have 1 item (the men's jacket) shipped extra fast, AS I AM TRAVELING SAT 09/17 OVERSEAS TO VISIT MY PARENTS AND THIS WAS A PRESENT FOR MY DAD. The rep said he had to check with his supervisor, and then told me for an additional $15 I would have 2DAY delivery for that jacket. I was not worried about the backordered item and told him that. When I wanted to check after placing the order if he can use my other shipping address on file, at my work at State Farm, he said that is not possible DUE TO THE SPLIT ORDER. Now it looks like both items are shipping whenever the 2nd item (backordered necklace) is available, in several weeks.

    I paid the $15 for nothing and the rep didn't seem to have done anything to process this order according to what I was trying to accomplish. He talked me into the platinum membership and waived the regular shipping cost as an incentive, but charged the additional $15 for the 'fast delivery'. I have been ordering from Stauer for years and lots of items and I am very upset and disappointed. I would like this fixed. If you send the jacket out tomorrow 9/15 with an overnight delivery I could have it prior to my departure. I hope you will make this possible.

After receiving this e-mail, I spoke I with your customer service agent 'Barbera' and was told I would be given an additional $40.00 credit to my visa account for being registered on your e-mail messages which reduces my purchase considerably and is appreciated in this day and age when cost is always a consideration.

    Updated review: Sept. 28, 2016

    Yes, this issue is resolved. They refunded the shipping charge on the free item and alos provided me with a gift card to make up for the service failure.

    Original Review: Sept. 13, 2016

    I've been a customer of Stauer for over four years and have always been pleased with the quality and value I've received from the company. That seems to have changed. I received an offer for a free pair of tanzanite earrings with any $50 purchase. My wife likes tanzanite, and free is good, so I saw an opportunity to surprise her with not one, but two spur-of-the-moment gifts. I dutifully went online, found an item that I knew she would love, and placed the order referenced above.

    When the package arrived yesterday, I received the earrings, but learned that the main item I wanted, a Thai Orchid necklace, was cancelled. The earrings were still free, but I was charged $19.95 shipping. I have always considered your shipping charges quite high, but given the overall value to cost of ordering from your company, felt it evened out most of the time. However, $19.95 to ship a tiny pair of free earrings was just over the top.

    So, I contacted customer service. I expected some form of apology for the problem with the order, some explanation beyond "we don't sell that anymore", some acknowledgement that, as a customer, I had been shortchanged. All I got was, "So, you don't want the earrings?" I might have expected an offer to go find a different item of $50 or more which would be shipped at no additional shipping charge, thus fulfilling the original scope and intent of the offer. Actually, communication as soon as the inventory problem was recognized making this kind of replacement offer or the option to cancel before all the inconvenience to all concerned would have been the appropriate response. No such luck. I did get an offer to refund half the shipping, or I could return the earrings for a refund of the shipping.

    I have opted for the latter. It means that I am left with a disappointed wife, whom I had primed with the news that a surprise was coming in the mail for her, but the main reason I have chosen to just reverse the entire order was that at no time did the Stauer representative acknowledge that the company's actions were anything less than exactly what I had ordered and paid for.

    This was a very disappointing experience from a company I have enjoyed doing business with in the past. At this point I will be opting out of all communication from Stauer and have no intention of buying from you again. It seems that when orders go well, Stauer does just fine, but when there is a problem of any kind, your customer service falls far short of the mark.

    I called on Sunday and placed order for a size 7 ring and said it several times. When I got order confirmation I saw that the order placed was for a size 8. I immediately called customer service and there was no answer. So I called the sales number to get order corrected and sales agent said only customer service could correct order. When I finally was able to get in touch with customer service, I was told the order was shipping as a size 8 and probably would not be corrected. Sales agent said I would not receive order for 2 or 3 weeks, implying it would take a week or so to process.

    I can't understand why this could be corrected sooner. Just send me the correct size and I will send back the incorrect size. Please do something or I promise to never do business with Stauer again. The ring is for a special occasion so if it takes too long to resolve I will send the ring back for a refund and never recommend your product to anyone!!! Not happy.

    I am sure this may be a business decision, but I dare to say it is the wrong one. Charging shipping and handling keeps me away from considering buying from you. Perhaps offering a standard free shipping that is spread out through you sales will encourage more business; of course giving the option of more expedite shipping for a fee. If this existed I will be more incline to purchase your products; in fact, e-mail me if this becomes available.

Mostly I’ve been happy with the quality of the items I purchased except for the last couple of times. I bought a set for my wife for Valentine’s Day and it didn’t live up to my expectations. She tried to put the earring on and it fell off because the holder was so cruddy. The pendant would not lay straight because of a very bad setting. Lately, she bought a pendant. The picture in the catalog was gorgeous but what showed up was not. I wrote a letter to them and I actually even called them right after I received it to tell them I wasn’t happy with it. I was ill for a couple of months, so I never sent it back and they said it was too long when I finally did return it. We returned it within the timeframe.

    My contact with the company using email communication to complain about a defective wrist watch I had purchased some time ago from Stauer remained unanswered for quite a few years. My recent review on Consumer Affairs about this company made the CS Person Addy to communicate with me and solve the issue through the Consumer Affairs portal. Addy has very cooperative and efficiently handled the issue. I was offered a replacement watch that I chose from their website.

    I am very satisfied with this experience. I am still at a loss to understand why my previous communications remained unanswered and I doubt it very much that there may be a technical issue with their mail server. Finally, I am a happy camper with this company and their customer service has handled the issue to my entire satisfaction.

    I had purchased a watch from this company for $112.95 some time back. After a few months use, it showed some defects such as a small hand that regulates the alarm setting fell off and also the minute hand had become loose and runs around erratically. My several exchange of emails remain unanswered until today. Even my phone calls were never answered. Although they boast the reputation of their company on their website, it's just pure pomp and hype but never true. I have never dealt with a company that never responds to customer queries or concerns.

    Quite a few years ago I purchased a Stauer watch and found the styling and what appeared to be quality of the watch excellent for the price. However, the watch kept terrible time. I returned it, and they replaced it with a new one, and again, it just kept lousy time (at least 10 minutes off per day). I again returned it and they again replaced it. This time while the time was a bit better, the adjusting stem came off. At this point I just gave up and threw it away. I recently saw another ad for their watches, and thought I'd give them another shot, figuring that after all those years, their quality must have come up. Well, I got the watch, and it looked great. The band was of a very high quality, the watch seemed solid and attractive. But here we go again. Mechanically, it was awful. I do not know if it is due to a bad battery or what, but the time is lagging 1 hour each day. And the adjusting stem works to set the time, but does not work to set the day.

    I have just returned the watch, and they are sending me a replacement. With this watch came a free set of Aviator style sunglasses. These glasses are of excellent quality. So this is what baffles me. They seem to put a high emphasis on styling and accessories, high quality leather bands, watch crystals, styling, but for some reason they just don't work right. I am hopeful, but not confident, that the replacement will keep good time. However, they do seem to stand by their product, but I am puzzled as to why they just don't make them reliable in the first place.

    Back in December, I bought a Stauer Urban Blue. At the time, I had just a few watches that I never wore, most from Russia. I have had a lot of compliments on it. I have also started a small collection of Blue Dialed watches. The Stauer model appear to be a copy of an Orient Star Classic, a very good Japanese watchmaker. I have not had any problems with, and after acquiring a Swiss Roamer with a blue dial, it is easier to see differences in quality.

    If you complain about how long an inexpensive watch lasts, then consider this: $1,000-$5,000 is considered to be Luxury Class for a watch. Orient Star is, by far, the deal for the money, as they makes everything, including the movement themselves. Patek Phillipe, the world's best watchmaker has a starting price of $40,000. You can buy a Stauer, and they are pretty, and work fine. If you want a watch that looks and works like it costs $2,000, then buy an Orient Star Elegant Classic from a Japanese seller for $450-$575. Complaining about a $50 watch is a waste of time. There are millions of them out there, so decide what you want to pay. I will keep my Stauer for as long as it lasts, and then wear my other watches more when it wears out.

    Well... for the $50 plus the overpriced S&H I could have gotten a far better knife at any flea market or even Walmart. The fit is on the handle is so bad they filled the gaps with wood putty, and the knife tip is bent at a 45-degree angle and then rebent back straight. This honestly is a $10 quality knife at any retail store. I would return it but the shipping charges are just not worth wasting any more time or money with this company. Do not be fooled by the flashy pictures in the ad!! The quality is nowhere near the pictures.

    When I ordered this I looked for your return policy but couldn't find one on your website. Now that I'm returning this order because it doesn't meet my expectations for quality, in speaking with customer service today I learn that you will be keeping $32.95 from the original payment of $183.95 I made on 4/3/2016. I feel this policy of not showing a return policy for online orders is deceptive. Therefore I am requesting you refund $175.95 which was my understanding up until today when I spoke to your customer service.

    So my husband purchased your DiamondAura Dearly Beloved Ring set and to say I'm angry on his behalf is an understatement. Your website claims it to be a lab grown DiamondAura and this is a crock of lies. We just went to have the ring resized and they told us they couldn't because the stones were cubic zirconia so we can't have the ring resized and while my husband spent $150.00 on a ring that after researching and speaking with a jeweler the ring only retails to the amount of $40.00. I hope that you will correct this unfortunate misunderstanding.

    Needless to say if this is not corrected I will be leaving reviews to let others know of this scam. While the ring is beautiful it is not worth the money spent on it. I've had mine for only and year and already it's chipped, the ring is turning black and I am sad to say disappointed my husband bought into this scam. My husband's order is under the name of Benjamin **. As he trusted your website's claim to it being laboratory grown he did not feel the need to keep the order number.

I know you have many excellent watches... I have bought four, the Ultimate Slim, the Metropolitan, the Buttonwood, as gifts, and the Exeter. (I also have my eye on these beautiful watches: the Minuit, the Octagon, the Brigadier, and the Orosconto.) My first Exeter's second hand started to move in 4 or 5-second increments.

    Joined Stauer club on 3/26/2016 and ordered the river canyon knife. Received it on 4/2/2016. Opened it up and got nicked by a burr on the blade. After cleaning it up I thought it was just an ok knife but wanted to share it with customer service. On monday 4/1/2016 I ordered the shark's tooth in a watch. I couldn't believe after I placed my order the shipping was 19.95 for a pendant and another 19.95 for the watch. I guess they make a small fortune ripping people off on shipping rates talk about fleecing of America. This is actual theft in progress. This is not what I expected from this co. I withdrew my order and cancelled my membership with a customer service rep named Tara who refused to give her last name. We'll see how they are refunding monies on orders cancelled in a 5 minute span. I'll buy from Walmart. Their guarantees are much better.

    Updated on 4/14/2016: This is without a doubt the worst co. to get a refund on even though their selling pitch says guaranteed refund. My package was sent back to them on a Monday. They received it on Friday and customer service has yet to credit my debit card. The customer service rep Francis is a rude, nasty, arrogant rep and will not answer questions directly.

    I purchased a white ceramic Stauer watch for my wife. It is a beautiful watch, but when the jeweler replaced the battery (which was too complicated for me to attempt), it would not restart. I contacted Stauer and I returned the watch with the repair fee and they sent me a replacement. But when it came time to adjust the hands for daylight saving time, the crown came out. I contacted Stauer again. They said since the watch was replaced once, it was out of warranty (even though the replacement was less than 6 months old). They would not fix it (I would have paid of course), but they did offer to sell me a new one for half price, only $200! I figured it would probably break again. I canceled my Platinum membership. I brought the watch to a jeweler to fix and he said it was not worth fixing. My wife found a comparable replacement in Macy's for a lot less. I thought it was a reasonably priced heirloom watch, but it was a disposal watch.

Claude said they have had problems the photos and would waive the return postage and refund the purchase. Well when I got my credit card statement he refunded the watch purchase price only. I called back and explained the situation and they said "we're sorry, shipping and handling is no refundable." This is poor customer service and I explained I hope they were happy with the $19.95 they took from me, because I was planning to buy another watch for myself that was $299.95.

    I placed an order for a Diamond Tennis Bracelet for my wife as a Christmas gift, and one that I was extremely looking forward to giving her on Christmas Day. Today I received a package in the mail with all of my extended coverage, replacement, premium membership etc... But no bracelet. When I called I was transferred to a CSR person who informed that the order was cancelled, and the bracelet was backordered.

    I was so incredibly angry, and frustrated for 2 reasons. The first obviously because I was not notified that the bracelet was on backorder, and the second because Stauer still charged my AMEX the $161 for the additional coverage, even though I was never notified I would not be receiving the bracelet. What is even more astonishing is that I was told the sales person who took my order had no visibility to the fact that the bracelet was not available, and yet still took my order, and talked me into the additional $161 in warranties, replacement, membership etc. If this is not just completely unethical then I do not know what might qualify. I know in my business we would fire someone for acting in such an unethical manner. I will be sure to tell everyone I know about this experience.

    My husband wanted an automatic watch from Stauer and had a coupon that required a $200 purchase. Since his watch was $149 I ordered a sterling silver chain that was valued at $59. It looked nice in the photo and silvery, but when it came, it was so thin and a grey color. The clasp is really cheap and hard to use. If it would have been a gift I would not have given it. After paying shipping and with the discount, I figured I paid $13 for the chain and that seemed too much. The box it came in probably cost more for them than the chain.

Never knew what happened to his watch when he died, but I spent the next forty years looking for one like it. Earlier this year, I saw it -- the Stauer Doctor's Watch. The same lines, quiet confidence, prominent second hand function. I wear my Stauer Doctor's Watch a lot, stare it probably more than I should, annoy friends and co-workers by offering to take their pulses. I realize it's a bit larger than my father's was.
