From Adidas to Unimatic, StockX offers numerous listings for you to browse ensuring you have the perfect timepiece for any occasion.

What are the condition guidelines for watches sold on StockX?

StockX requires all watches to be in brand new condition. StockX defines this as unworn and flawless.

Please ensure you meet all the requirements below before listing your watch on StockX:

• Original box and brand warranty card must be included. Can be dated or not dated.
• Any originally included accessories must be present (additional straps, tools, etc.) Manuals and/or tags are strongly encouraged, but not required. A bracelet must fit, at a minimum, a 7” wrist for a men's watch and 6” for a women’s watch. Additional links are strongly encouraged but not required.
• Watch and included materials are in flawless condition, i.e., the box can't be falling apart.

Each watch sent to StockX will undergo a thorough inspection by our team of master watchmakers to ensure its authenticity and confirm its condition.

This includes:

• Full internal movement condition inspection.
• External condition assessment including lugs, case, crystal, dial, and bracelet.
• A timing test, including adjustments as needed to meet manufacturer standards and functionality.
• Water resistance testing.
• Amplitude testing.

As with items sold at retail, some products will pass our inspection despite having superficial signs of wear from handling or storage.

How should watches be shipped to StockX?

Once your watch has been purchased, all that’s left is to ship the watch to StockX for verification. Don't worry, for US Sellers we cover all shipping and insurance costs.

Follow our recommended steps outlined below for easy and safe shipping:

• Carefully package your watch within a small box, use additional packaging such as bubble wrap, paper, foam padding, or packing peanuts to reduce any movement of the watch.
• Attach the inner box with the supplied label.
• Place the smaller box inside of a larger courier box. Again, be sure movement is restricted with additional cushioning.
• Place the order sheet on top of the smaller box for processing on our end.
• Seal all seams and flaps on the outside box with clear or non-descriptive tape.
• Print the provided shipping label and affix to the outer box
• Choose your wording carefully so as not to reference the valuable contents of the package.
• Drop your package off at the nearest location of the shipping carrier provided.
• Some carriers may give you the option to schedule a pickup instead.

• For more information on shipping, refer to "How to ship your item to StockX" blog post or visit the FAQ for Shipping Instructions

Note: In order for insurance to cover your package, you must either drop it off at your shipping carrier or schedule a pickup.

How do I take care of my watch?

Keeping your watch in good working order is easy with some basic maintenance from time to time.

Here’s a few tips to help:

• Avoid exposing your non-water resistant watch to moisture.
• Metal bracelets can be cleaned with slightly soapy water and a soft toothbrush.
• Never adjust the date on your watch when the hour hand is between the hours of 9 and 3 o’clock to avoid damage to the watches gears and pinion.
• Water resistant watches should always have the crown screwed down tightly before exposure to water.
• If your watch is hand-wound, be sure to wind it fully at the same time each day, stop when you feel resistance.
• An automatic watch should be worn daily to remain at peak accuracy.
• Avoid extreme temperatures with your watch, and exposure to strong magnetic fields. Always avoid direct contact with magnets.
• Unexpected impacts or shocks can result in damage to the case, crystal, or crown, as well as the internal components.
• Take the watch off your wrist to wind it.

If your watch came with a transferable warranty, don't forget about the manufacturer recommended maintenance periods as well – they don't come around that often, and can add many years to the life of your watch.
