    Gosh his reply was a bit rude!

    Hope there is a win on the way soon to make up for it!

    What's even worse is like me a lot of people who received the email didn't in actual fact receive there prize because they either missed the wem or didn't respond to the Facebook post which you have to reply to within 24 hours or forfeit the prize

    so a double whammy we thought we had won today and then found out we hadn't won but that we had won previously and forfeited the prize :(

    yes I agree very rude and very bad pr, fancy trying to blame someone else for there own mistake

    i got one of these emails and it was very disapointing!


    did every one see the responses on facebook from watches2U ??

    1. Watches2U Hi all, I sent an email out to all our winners if they had managed to claim or not so have just spent 2 hours answering them all. Bit of a waste of an afternoon to be honest!!

    2. Watches2U Christ, give something away for free and suddenly we are the enemy.

    can you believe the last one !! how rude is that!!!
