CreationWatches - Reviews and experiences

I almost talked myself into it — lots of positive reviews and prices that seemed a bit too good. I ordered a Hamilton Khaki Murph because, well, I've got a thing for field watches. When it arrived I used it right away to test it and the watch face looked great, surprisingly spotless, but the outer box was smashed and the warranty card was basically blank/fake. Support was polite and said they'd refund, then walked it back and offered some vague discount. That polite tone couldn't fix the mess. I'm still annoyed and wouldn't trust them again.

I first saw this Seiko on a co-worker's wrist and a buddy pushed me to order it; said it'd be perfect for my dad. I placed the order on Feb 12 and the card was charged right away, which oddly felt reassuring. After that? Crickets. No status updates on the site and my emails to customer service got no answer. I even paid extra for customs clearance because I wanted it in time for the birthday. From the pictures it looks like a solid, weighty watch that would sit nicely on the wrist, clean dial and all. Still waiting though. If it arrives I think my dad will like the feel. For now I'm mostly annoyed and puzzled.
