The Croton Story

The History of Croton
Croton Watch Co., Inc. was founded in 1878, when there was not the plethora of watch companies as there are contemporarily. Each manufacturer labored to create the horological wonder of the century. Croton was a small manufacturer with the philosophy that precision, quality, style and value go hand in hand.The family-owned and operated business specialized in diamond weight high-end watches that sold to small jewelry boutiques throughout the United States. As Croton’s reputation grew, there was more and more demand for their high quality watches. Croton expanded its bejeweled line, as the discriminating tastes of their customer changed.

From production through after sales service, Croton stands behind its product. This is the same attention to detail that has been winning the wrists of millions of Americans since 1878. You will see the same high standards exemplified by each of our timepieces in high end department stores as well as fine jewelry establishments.

This review is from: Croton Men's CA30161BSWH Automatic Sports Leather Strap Watch (Watch)

I bought this watch 3 months ago. The watch was listed at $375.00 but sold for $92.00. Sound like a bargain? Think again. The watch has never kept proper time, stops running after only a few hours, it's supposed to be water resistant to 10 ATM's but fogs up every time it gets wet. Not submerged - wet! I have had to make corrections to the time and date so often the stem just fell off. I contacted AMAZON who told me to contact CROTON. CROTON wanted me to send the watch and $25.00 to "tune it up". Call me silly but why should a brand new watch need a tune up and why should I pay them to fix a brand new $375.00 watch? I opted to offer the free advertising. And here it is.

I bought this watch because I wanted an inexpensive automatic. I was a little nervous, because there were mixed reviews on other Croton models. I am very pleased, though. The watch is even more attractive than the photo -- I've had more than one unsolicited compliment on it -- and it has kept perfect time. It's an excellent choice, so far, even if I had paid much more for it.
