  • You have no right to return the watch. Sorry

    Your son may wish to learn a (harsh) lesson from this

    Did you by any chance take the replacement cover out for the watch,if so it covers accidental damage.

    I dont know my husband returned it.

    Then it's likely your husband misled the staff in respect of the camera. A company is never liable for damage caused by the user's carelessness, they'd all go bankrupt if we went around damaging things and getting new ones for free! That is why you can purchase accidental damage insurance.

    Why doesn't your son purchase a cheapo replacement watch out of his pocket money/ allowance/ money from washing a neighbour's car? They are available for under a fiver. Maybe next time advise him to put the watch on or take it off sat on the bed or on the floor, it will only smash if it falls onto a hard surface or from a height.
