Who makes them, and are they good? (most-asked)

Who makes Tommy Hilfiger watches?

Tommy Hilfiger watches are made under licence by the Movado Group, an established watch manufacturer that produces watches for several designer brands. Tommy Hilfiger designs the look; Movado engineers and builds them to its specification. That's why the quality is dependable.

Does Tommy Hilfiger even make watches / are they real Tommy Hilfiger?

Are Tommy Hilfiger watches good / good quality?

Yes for the price tier — stainless-steel cases, reliable Japanese quartz movements (including chronographs) and bold, recognisable designs. They're fashion watches: bought for style and brand, well-made for £103–£199.

Is Tommy Hilfiger a luxury watch brand?

No — it's a designer fashion watch brand, not luxury. Excellent for a stylish, branded everyday watch; not in the Swiss-luxury bracket (and priced accordingly).

Battery, movement & water resistance

How do I change the battery in a Tommy Hilfiger watch / what size?

It uses a standard quartz watch battery; the exact cell depends on the model. We'd recommend having it changed by a jeweller to keep the water-resistance seal intact — bring it into OD's and we'll fit the correct battery for you.

Don't force the caseback yourself if it's water-resistant — let a jeweller reseal it.

How long does a Tommy Hilfiger watch battery last?

Typically 2–3 years for a standard quartz model. When it stops, it just needs a new battery — a quick, inexpensive job.

Are Tommy Hilfiger watches automatic or quartz?

Quartz (battery-powered), including quartz chronographs — accurate, low-maintenance and reliable.

Are Tommy Hilfiger watches waterproof?

Water-resistant, typically around 3–5 ATM depending on the model — fine for splashes and handwashing, and many are OK for brief swimming. Check the individual model; not for diving.

Comparisons, value & gifting

Hugo BOSS vs Tommy Hilfiger — which is better?

Both are designer fashion quartz watches made by the Movado Group, and we stock both. BOSS tends to be sharper and more business/formal (£159–£279); Tommy Hilfiger is more casual and American-sporty (£103–£199). Neither is ‘better’ — it's about which brand look you prefer and your budget.

Sharper/business = BOSS. Casual/sporty + a little cheaper = Tommy Hilfiger.

How much is a Tommy Hilfiger watch / are they worth it?

Most are £103–£199. Worth it if you want a genuine designer-branded watch with solid build at a fair price — value is in the style and brand, not resale.

What's the most expensive / best Tommy Hilfiger watch?

The men's Bank and Kent chronograph/bracelet models top the range (around £189–£199) — the most substantial, dressy-sporty options.

What size Tommy Hilfiger watch should I choose?

Men's models typically run 42–44mm, ladies' around 32–38mm. Larger wrists carry 44mm well; smaller wrists suit 38–42mm.

Can a Tommy Hilfiger bracelet be resized?

Yes — steel bracelets are adjusted by removing or adding links, and strap models can be swapped. We'll size it to your wrist in store.

How do I look after a Tommy Hilfiger watch?

Keep it away from prolonged water, wipe with a soft cloth, and have the quartz battery replaced by a jeweller when it stops so the seal stays intact.
