Skip to why WatchSeason

Real company. Real reviews. Real person.

Why buyers and sellers trust WatchSeason.
An independent UK watch seller you can actually check.

WatchSeason is a pre-owned watch business run by one person, Jamie Batchelor, from Andover in Hampshire. Every watch is personally sourced and inspected. Every sale stays on public record. We’re young, and we’re not hiding it. What we’ve built instead of years is a track record you can inspect.

The journey

From a £200 watch to a business people trust.

  1. 01

    The spark

    Jamie has loved watches since he was a kid. The design, the details, the buzz of finding one you really want to wear. Alongside that, he built Seasons Run Club, a free weekly running group in Andover, and became Race Director of the Andover Half Marathon. Bringing people together around something you love isn’t new to him.

  2. 02

    The challenge

    Then came a public challenge: trade from a £200 Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 towards a Rolex. No hiding the maths. Every purchase, every sale and every lesson shared, mistakes included.

  3. 03

    The business

    People didn’t just follow along. They started buying watches and selling watches to Jamie. WatchSeason was born, operated by Seasons Enterprise Limited. The first sale went through on 26 August 2026.

  4. 04

    Today

    26 watches sold across 9 brands, 1 currently listed, and 7 verified reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5. Still one person. Still the same standards. Still every sale on the record.

What makes us different

Six reasons to buy from WatchSeason. And to sell to us.

01

A real person, not a faceless shop.

You deal with Jamie from first message to the doorstep. Buyers and sellers mention him by name in their reviews. That’s not an accident. It’s how WatchSeason is built.

02

Every sale stays on the record.

Sold watches don’t quietly disappear. The sold archive and the £200 to Rolex journey are public, so you can see what we’ve sold, when, and how the story is unfolding.

International delivery to the EU is from £40, and the terms are on the checkout. Pay by card and there is nothing extra.

“I brought the watch as a new dress watch but the collection got bigger and I had to make way for something new. I’ve been watching the journey from the start and Jamie’s journey is such a fresh idea to the watch community. We had a brief chat about some watches and I said that I would like to sell it. I understand the ain’t is to make money and progress and we agreed on a very fair price. I hope it makes someone happy as it made me for the time I had it and I wish Jamie all the best and reaching his milestone.”
