Japanese precision timepieces are known around the world for their accuracy, and you can buy direct from Japan with our online watch store.

We make it easy to find the perfect Japanese watch for you and have it shipped directly to your door so you get premium Japanese quality that can't be beat.

Japanese Domestic Market

While Japanese watchmakers export thousands of watches annually, there are some models that never leave the country. Known as Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) exclusives, these watches are only available through retail outlets in Japan, but with our unique service, you can get a watch meant for Japan in our online store. This gives you the chance to be one of the first people in your country to have some of the most advanced and unique watches at a reasonable price.

Accept No Substitute

It’s important to note that when you’re investing in a fine timepiece, you should make sure you’re getting a top quality, premium watch. Our stock comes directly from the Japanese market, with authentic serial numbers. In many cases, brand new gear is still in its original packaging, with the manufacturer’s warranty in full effect.

Fast Reliable Shipping

We use reliable postal carrier Japan Post EMS Service to make sure every Japanese watch bought from our online store arrives safely, in great condition and ready to perform. This allows us to provide speedy delivery at a reasonable price so you get your watch as fast as possible. Our fast order handling is one of the premium services we offer as part of the Shopping In Japan experience.

Finding The Right Japanese Watch

The first thing you need to ask when picking a watch from Japan in the online store is where you expect to wear this watch. We have a variety of styles available to suit every need, but not every style is perfect for every occasion.

  • Formal - Formal watches are the perfect accessories when you’re dressed to impress. With gleaming metal cases, the finest crystal, and a luxurious amount of eye appeal, they’re meant to attract attention.
  • Casual - Casual watches are perfect for daily wear. Whether you need a functional timepiece for the office, a watch to keep you on track running errands, or just a timepiece to help you make it through the day, these timepieces are meant to work.
  • Sport - Sport watches are meant for performance. From diving to flying, owning the pitch or hitting the gym, they’re built for action and adventure off the beaten path.

You’ll find the top watchmakers represented in our Online Japanese watch store. With reputations they’ve built around the world, each is recognized as a leader in the field.

  • Casio - Casio is known for accurate electronic movements, especially among digital watch aficionados. Their ever-popular G-Shock line has become the gold standard for digital sport watches. That doesn’t mean they don’t offer excellent timepieces for other occasions, as watches like the Edifice bridge the gap between the boardroom and daily wear.
  • Seiko - Seiko is one of the top watchmakers in the world thanks to their unsurpassed quality. While many of their watches, like the Grand Seiko, are perfect for business or casual use, lines like the Diver Automatic are engineered for action enthusiasts and the popular Brightz Dress Watch line is hard to outshine in the most formal of occasions.
  • Citizen - With watches that go from the straightforward Chronomaster to the feature-packed Promaster Satellite Wave they’re a great addition to our online Japanese watch store. You can count on exquisite styling and excellent engineering.
  • Orient - Once a premier independent watchmaker and now a subsidiary of Seiko, Orient offers a range of watches for every style. From the classic Bambino to the Star Dress Automatic and its glitz and gleam, they make high-quality watches for a great price. There’s even a line of sport watches for active Japanese watch enthusiasts.
