PROBLEMS PROCESSING YOUR ORDER?
-
If you are receiving an error message, there may be a problem with your credit card information, billing or shipping address. The billing address should match exactly what your bank has on file. It is most likely an issue with your billing zip/postal code. Please review all information closely and look for any typos. Also, try re-formatting the names and addresses in your billing information (this often solves the issue).
-
If you’re still receiving an error message after reviewing your credit card information, billing and shipping address, make sure you’re using the latest version of your web browser.
-
If you're ordering from outside the U.S. we highly suggest using Paypal or Google wallet for check out.

Warranty
It's our mission to make the best things. Not good, not great, but literally the best products in their respective categories. It is also our mission to create a community of Gear’d Head that have a common bond for the love of our product. That is why every Gear’d Hardware watch comes with a no-hassle, no-rhetoric lifetime guarantee. This does not apply to straps.
When you spend your hard-earned money on our products, you can do so with confidence that your gear will always be fully-functional and defect-free. You can also rest assured that we will do everything in our power to keep your product in use and out of a landfill.
If any part of your Gear’d Hardware watch becomes non-functioning or defective, we will repair or replace it with a fully-functioning item in the same or better condition.
Note the "non-functioning or defective" part. This means that the warranty does not cover cosmetic wear that does not affect the safety or function of your product. In our opinion, a little scratch or knick here and there is nothing more than bragging rights that you've been having some fun with your gear. But if something breaks due to manufacturer defect under normal use, don’t worry one bit. We’re behind you all the way
We've built our reputation on building high-quality gear and offering the best customer service out there, so we're not going to nickel-and-dime you out of a warranty with a bunch of silly exceptions. That said, please don't interpret our lifetime guarantee as a license to misuse, neglect, or intentionally destroy your GH gear. We reserve the right to not replace a watch that you poured concrete in, put a bullet through, a watch strap that your toaster melted, and so forth. We also reserve the right to change this policy in the future.
We have designed and built our products to work well with nearly every lifestyle activity, and we believe our gear is very safe to use. Gear’d Hardware is not liable for damage to your equipment, clothing or anything in your surrounding environment as a result of using them. Gear’d Hardware is also not liable for bodily injury to yourself or others as a result of using our stuff, so don’t listen to your Mother, but be careful and use your head when you’re out there having fun.
Please email us at info@geardhardware.com. You will then be contacted by a service representative within 24 hours (Monday - Friday) with further instructions. We are our doing cool shit on Saturday and Sunday. Follow us on social to keep up with us.
HOW DO I CHECK THE STATUS OF MY REPAIR OR RETURN?
Once we get your watch, please allow up to 20 business days to complete the repair process, some repairs are completed sooner. Our service representatives will send you an email notification when your package is received and when it is ready to be shipped back. We can also provide you with the current status of your watch by contacting us throughout the repair process.
HOW CAN I PAY THE SHIPPING FEE FOR MY REPLACEMENT / REPAIR?
All major credit cards and Paypal payments are accepted for the shipping fee.
