PARNIS.COM Reviews 

I ordered two watches.

Two months later, both watch bezels became broken (stud came loose on each of bezel housing).

I contacted Parnis, who instructed me to return the watches for a free repair in China. As per their 'guarantee'.

I was impressed.

8 months later, no repair, no watches ... and guess what? No answer.

I have contacted just about everyone listed on their Web site, with no reply.

I guess they got tired of lying to me, and just stopped replying completely.

Complete waste of time and money.

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

This is the second Daytona Watch I have purchased direct from Parnis and this one is every bit as good as the first purchase. The finish and quality on these watches is excellent and the are great value. The support and service from the staff in administration at Parnis is first class. There was some confusion with the Carrier in this last instance but administration could not have been more helpful and sorted the situation immediately. Would not hesitate to recommend and will certainly be purchasing further Parnis Watches in the future.

Having seen so many YouTube reviews praising Parnis homage watches I ordered a Daytona 05 direct from the factory website. I’ve always coveted this style. I especially like that the Parnis Daytona is a quartz/mechanical movement. I want the look but not the bother of resetting an automatic I may not wear every day. It arrived at my Southern California home about a week after ordering airmail from China. When I unpacked it I was astonished at how gorgeous it is. Sizing it took only a few minutes because it has quality screw in links, so much better than snap in pins. The fit is perfection. Just the right size for my 6-3/4” wrist. The weight is ideal. The bracelet and case finish is excellent. I think the face is more attractive than the Rolex. Now here’s something equally important. Not being familiar with chronometers, I wasn’t sure why the bezel did not rotate like my diver-style watches (it doesn’t). So I contacted Parnis customer service. Within 12 hours they emailed me back and followed up with a few more emails. Along with the style, build quality and extraordinary pricing, their customer service has turned me into an evangelical Parnis fan. I’m now going to again browse its website and indulge myself with another style watch I’ve always wanted. Call me cheap because I fully appreciate the Parnis is a homage to the $12,400 Rolex, but I can get the look and the functions I want and put $12,260 to a much better purpose than a wristwatch.

Happy with the buy! Presently let me let you know, Ive claimed a few costly Swiss watches during that time and never have I gotten any remark on neither one of them..

Very much done folks! Exceptionally content with my buy Will arrange at any rate 1 more as a Christmas present! Keep up the incredible work!

The watch cases and bracelets are well made but my experience with the gmt master homage has been very bad I have had three of them and they all stop working very quickly I have had one exchanged under warranty that took over 6 months and a lot of arguments but now the exchange one has stopped working only months later. i would possibly buy a watch from them again but not the gmt as they use a very poor quality movement the mingzhu dg3804.
I loved the watch that is why I have had three but I wish they would put a better movement in it even if it was quartz

And dont buy into the warranty its total rubbish the only reason I got another one is because I spent every day annoying them until they gave in or I would of ended up with neather the money I paid of the watch. do some research before buying because if it goes wrong it will end up in the bin like my one will. And your just throwing money away.

Best service. My question was answered in a few hours. Thank you Mr. Torres.

Purchased a Yacht-Master tribute in 2017 its as yet going solid, keeping astoundingly exact time! My second buy - the new Daytona, arrived only two or three hours back and I just cannot take my eyes off it. Totally staggering!

I have close to a dozen timepieces that I have bought over the years. They speak eloquently of they the Chinese horologic industry. It is not commonly acknowledged that almost half of some upscale brand name watch movements are fabricated in China. According to Parnis, they fabricate 3 levels of quality watches and they sell through the internet their highest quality pieces. They are truly outstanding white reliable. Parnis has gone into the business of making homage pieces based on famous horological designs such as Rolex Submariner and GMT, Patek Philip, IWC as well as others. The GMT has the ability to keep accurately the times of two time zones and swiftly changing among a multiplicity of time zones. We refer the interested reader to an accuracy comparison of the Parnis GMT and the Rolex GMT in the article "Measuring a second-time zone with the Parnis GMT" to be found at the Research Gate. The GMT accurate time with an impressive reserve for 45 minutes.
One last comment regarding the best way to buy these wonderful watches. In the web page of Parnis.org it is clearly stated that they make three grades of products and they explain the reasons behind such a practice. I always buy directly from Parnis and the service is very efficient, attention is very good and comments and remarks from clients are taken seriously and answered in less than 24 hours and to the point. Furthermore, you are given the chance to buy an extended five-year guarantee which is amazing given that the watches sold by Parnis.org have an unprecedented guaranty period of two years. So these watches are conceived and made to last. And you better believe it!

Great value for money! We’re based in Singapore and received our order within 4 business days. After purchasing 6 watches in different styles, I can say that Im personally not the biggest fan of their leather straps, but other than that, the quality of their watches is simply outstanding at this price point.

Parnis are a mushroom brand, that's to say they are made in various factories. My advice is not to use Parnis.org, as they are more expensive and offer poor customer service. I use mywatchcode who offer better prices and very good after service if required. No other manufacturer can offer the spec and finish as Parnis do, at the prices they offer.

Here is my story with Parnis. I ordered a watch and when it arrived it was non functional (could not wind it at all). When I contacted the customer service, at first they replied that it was normal and the watch needed some breaking-in time to be fully functional. But it was totally faulty, so I had to make a video to prove that the watch I received was broken. As soon as I did so, I was contacted by the manager and he explained me that they would send me a brand new watch for free (I didn't even have to send the faulty watch back to China - which is not cheap !). And they did send me a brand new watch for free, I received the new watch and it's fully functional and beautiful. In a nutshell, I was a bit disappointed at first, but Parnis customer service did an amazing job and provided me with a replacement very quickly. 5 stars for Parnis !

Let me just say i´m in love with my Parnis.

I was looking to buy a watch that felt and looked premium but i couldn´t afford a Rolex or a Tudor.

But i found Parnis watches. I confess i was worried that the watch would not match the pictures from the site and that would felt cheap.

However i must say i was totally surprised when the watch arrived.

The shipment was very fast and it arrived in perfect conditions. I live in Portugal and i didn´t had any problem with customs.

Just to finnish i must say that i will consider buying another Parnis watch without question.

Good work!!!

I ordered a Parnis GMT Pepsi bezel on Aug 11 and received the watch on Aug 19. I think this is reasonably fast. Something went wrong with the tracking number but the customer support was helpful and responsive. Good job!
The time piece is beautiful and stunning, and honestly speaking this is way beyond my expectations, especially at this price. Nice shopping experience overall!

My colleagues and I worked on an academic project for 2 semesters and during that time we probably purchased 30 to 40 watches.

Out of the whole batch (and I must confess we used/abused and modified all the parts) we only faced 1 problem with one of the movements which they replaced for free within a week or so.

A quick thank you note to all Parnis’ staff (especially Maggy), as we emailed them on multiple occasions to request details on parts (mostly their movements) and their response was always fast and cordial.

Highly Recommended.

When things go well, the product is good. Delivery is quick. I have four.
BUT.... when watches have a flaw or need to be returned, then responses are vague, obfuscation is used, and time passes when Service Reluctance clicks in.Returned two watches from South Africa which cost €70!! finally got a refund after reporting Parnis to PayPal - 6 week timescale. PayPal also helped to refund 35% of return costs.
Not sure the Premium clause is valid that merits €50 extra when buying direct from, Parnis.org.There are other suppliers.
However after all that they are fun to own and well made. There is a small hump in the clasp, which is a design problem, but very comfortable to wear.
Horology sideline.. Have started changing hands and Bezels for "unique looks". (Easy to do with the right tools - important). Beware YouTube advice. Broke a bezel pin on the case by doing so. Now know better.

Product - 5 Star
Price competition - 4 Star
Service backup - 3 to 2 Star

For the real watch enthusiasts (no quartz allowed!!!) Best hand-winding watches on the market! Lets be honest here, how many of us can really afford a 17,000 EURO IWC Portugieser?

THANKS GUYS! IM IN LOVE WITH MY DAYTONA!!!! MIGHT NEED A GMT-MASTER 2 NEXT?

As a watch collector with over 2 decades worth of experience, I can confidently say that this is probably the best value for money timepiece I have ever found. Without a doubt these watches belong in the 500-1000 USD range, or at the very least thats the value they represent. Best bang for buck out there!

Just bought my 4TH PARNIS timepiece and Im shocked at the quality and detail at this price level. All 4 of them cost around 150 bucks and all 3 keep better time than my TISSOT automatic and my OMEGA SeaMaster that cost me almost 4000 USD.
