Very dishonest. I sent my watch to them for a new battery, which I was told would cost £18. I later received an email with a revised quote of £51 for a ‘standard quartz service’ with no further explanation. After querying this, I was told that the battery had been replaced but the watch was still not working and this new quote was to service the watch to find the fault. I explained to them that I was very sceptical of this as the watch had been treated well and stored in the original box, and asked them to return it to me. I then took it to a local watch shop who replaced the battery in front of me with no issues - the watch worked perfectly, as I suspected it would. Upon complaining to Mistal, they did reimburse me very quickly for the cost of the new battery, but provided no explanation for the complete lie I had been told, in what I can only assume was an attempt to charge a higher fee. I’m not usually one to post negative reviews but this was an outright lie and not just a small mistake. Really wouldn’t recommend Mistal based on this experience.

TERRIBLE!!I wish I had read previous reviews before I sent my EBEL watch. Sent it for a simple change of battery. Paid £85 plus postage. The watch stopped working within 2 weeks after they sent it back. I sent it back again at my own cost. I could not believe it : I received a quote for another £498 without any explanation (I had to call to get one which was not that clear). I refused the quote and asked them to send it back. But wait : they sent the watch without the seal which I almost threw away as so small and in the same bag as the watch. I own several expensive watches and NEVER has this happened. Very unprofessional. I did email the company to complain before leaving this review to give them a chance to explain or apologise and no reply.To me that says it all.

I sent a watch back for repairing and after the job has been completed the same part of the watch broken again in few months. This sad story concluded with me sending once again the watch to the Mistal service center and they just lost it.

Mistal fixed / serviced my dive watch very quickly allowing me to have it back in time for my next dive trip. Olivia was excellent in keeping me informed of the process to send it to them and kept me advised on the progress of the service and its return.

I bought an RGMT SUPER AV 24HR DIVER'S WATCH from Ideal World, that arrived faulty. Ideal World then went bust. Mistal Time Services took on the repair under warranty, and now my watch is being processed for despatch to me. I can't thank the watchmakers and customer service staff enough for their help with my watch repair.
I give Mistal Time Services a rating of 5/5?
Kind regards.

Slow to respond and not accurate when giving information about your order and delivery. Took long time to repair.
Watch repaired very well.

First time leaving a 1 star review for anyone.
Sent my AVI8 watch for repair for the third time (same fault) and returned each time with exactly the same fault.
Have the watch for weeks and months on end too.

Phenomenal service, I am really blown away. I was expecting a few weeks turnaround, but my watch was returned within 2 days fully repaired, with all supporting repair confirmation documentation and so professionally packaged. I felt like I receive a new watch back, it was that special. Will definitely use again.

I can't fault Mistal for their quality of work and professionalism. Such quick and reliable turn around which is so rare in this industry! Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

Could not have been more impressed.
They did exactly what they said they would.
Watch was collected THE SAME DAY the request was made. They replaced the battery and returned it to me set to the corect time and date in a very smart presentation box.
Communication was excellent from start to finish and worked out more than half the price Citizen quoted (who are officially USELESS by the way). Would thoroughly recommend and will be using them for all my future watch related requirements.

I sent my watch for repair under guarantee the first time in November 2019, 4 months waiting, received still not repaired.
I re-sent in february 2020 (I paid again) and I'm still waiting it 4 months again despit reminders.
It's simply indecent.

Not good, sent a package from Australia that Royal Mail says has been delivered but Mistal have said they have not received it. Not happy as the watch was a present from my wife and very sentimental in value.
