Reviews show a mixed picture for Chronext. Many buyers report receiving watches as described, competitive pricing and helpful individual staff members. However, a recurring pattern concerns delayed or missing payments to sellers and prolonged refund or delivery issues for some buyers. Communication quality varies widely — some customers received prompt, informative responses while others received vague or incorrect replies. Prospective buyers should check stock status, delivery timelines and payment protections; sellers should verify contract and payout terms and retain records in case follow-up or legal steps become necessary.
Examples from available reviews (Aug 2017 – Feb 2026).

Delivery and order experience inconsistent: many customers report acceptable delays or minor issues, but several cite long waits or withheld refunds.
Most buyers received watches as described and in good condition; a small number report post-sale reliability problems or faults requiring service.
Communication is uneven: some customers praise responsive staff, while many describe vague replies, slow follow-up or incorrect refund handling.
Overall impressions vary: many positive purchase reports exist alongside serious seller complaints about non-payment and buyers awaiting refunds.
