Anyone have experience with Watch Galactic?
Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone here has any experience with Watch Galactic? https://watchgalactic.com/
They have a couple of G-Shock models that are marginally cheaper than anywhere else. Free shipping and it looks like no tax to my state as I check-out. But a bit nervous as I've never heard of them.
Thanks.

No experience here, but the domain was registered may of last year FWIW...

I'd say it's a little risky. Either a brand new legitimate store or scam.

Seems they've been operating on ebay for about 5 years, and setup a website last year:
https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_prof ... 7675.l2560
The G-Shock I'm looking at is less $100, so I think I'll take a risk. I'll use paypal during checkout if can, but at least I'll have my CC to fall back on. I'll report back next week on the results.

They probably got tired of paying ebay extortion fees.

Re: Anyone have experience with Watch Galactic?
Watches arrived safe. There was a pause for 48-72 hours after ordering Watch Galactic, but then I saw a shipping notice and everything went smoothly. In fact the packaging from them was much better than the one I got from Amazon. My fun summer-time watches have arrived, just before we get into November - like any true deal hunter

Re: Anyone have experience with Watch Galactic?
They would inspire a lot more confidence if they listed a physical address on their website. That's one of the first things I look for in deciding if a site is legit.

I think I bought mine from this vendor after you posted about this watchLanded_Alien wrote:Watches arrived safe.
