About The Solist

The Solist is a luxury retail destination focused on authentic watches, fine jewelry and accessories at insider prices. The store’s concept is built around ShopWorn® goods: luxury pieces sourced directly from leading brands and authorized retailers that have never been privately owned, but may have been handled or displayed in a retail environment.

For watch shoppers, The Solist is especially useful because it offers access to luxury watches from recognized brands at prices below traditional retail. The store is not a marketplace or price-comparison platform; customers buy directly through The Solist, with concierge support, payment options, shipping policies, returns and warranty coverage handled through the store.

The Solist also operates a New York private showroom at 551 Fifth Avenue by appointment. This gives shoppers a more personal way to explore selected watches, jewelry and accessories with help from the concierge team before making a purchase.

Shipping & Delivery

The Solist ships orders within the United States and internationally. The store states that orders are packed and shipped within 2 business days, and orders are not fulfilled over weekends or federal holidays.

For U.S. shipping, The Solist offers complimentary ground shipping. U.S. 2 Day Air and Next Day Air are available for additional fees. Express orders may qualify for same-day fulfillment if placed before 3 p.m. EST.

International shipping is available by FedEx. The Solist lists separate international shipping rates, including a standard international shipping fee and a lower Canada shipping fee. International customers are responsible for additional taxes, duties, VAT, GST and other local import charges that may apply.

Delivery signature may be required for security and order protection. The Solist states that packages requiring signature will not be left at the door or delivered without a valid signature. For pickup orders in New York, shoppers should allow 24 to 48 hours for the order to be ready and wait for concierge confirmation.

Returns & Refunds

The Solist accepts eligible returns and exchanges for purchases made within the last 14 days, outside of any extended holiday return window. To qualify, the item must be returned in its original condition and original packaging, including branded boxes, certificates and accessories.

Items may be tried on, but they must not be worn. Returned items must not have been resized or engraved. This is especially important for watches and jewelry, where sizing, engraving or visible wear may affect return eligibility.

A shipping and insurance fee applies to returns, with the fee based on the item price. The Solist lists return shipping and insurance fees by price range, from lower fees for items under $999 to higher fees for items over $8,000.

If the reason for return is a manufacturing defect or damage incurred during shipment, the item may be eligible for repair or replacement under The Solist warranty or the original manufacturer warranty. Returns are processed after review, and refund timing may take several business days.

Payment Methods

The Solist accepts several payment methods, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Alipay, WeChat Pay, UnionPay, bank wire transfer, check, Affirm and Apple Pay.

Bank wire payment can be useful for larger purchases because The Solist states that payment by wire transfer earns a 2% discount on the purchase price. Shoppers should contact the concierge team if they need help with wire payment instructions or payment verification.

Affirm may be available for eligible orders, allowing approved customers to pay over time. Financing terms, approval and repayment schedule are handled by Affirm, so shoppers should review the final terms before selecting this payment option.

For high-value watches, shoppers should confirm the final payment method, discount eligibility, shipping address, return terms and warranty coverage before completing checkout.

Savings, Cashback & Coupons

The Solist is built around insider pricing on authentic luxury goods, so savings are a major part of the shopping experience. Many product pages show the current price alongside a retail price and a visible savings amount or percentage.

The best official places to check are Special Offers, New Arrivals, Daily Finds, designer sale pages and watch-specific offer sections. The Solist also promotes newsletter signup for exclusive offers, early access and special promotional deals.

Shoppers may also find automatic checkout discounts on selected items. For example, some watch or jewelry listings may show extra percentage discounts automatically applied at checkout, depending on the active event and product eligibility.

For luxury watches, shoppers should compare the discount with the watch condition, warranty source, box and papers, movement type and whether the item is new-in, pre-owned, one-of-a-kind or part of a special offer. The lowest price is not always the best value if the warranty or return terms differ.

Coupon & Promo Code Websites

The Solist promo codes may appear on selected coupon platforms. These sites can be useful for checking recent codes, but shoppers should always test the code at checkout because luxury offers may have exclusions, minimum order values or limited-time terms.

Smart Ways to Save at The Solist

  • Check Special Offers before browsing full-price listings.
  • Look for automatic checkout discounts on selected watches and jewelry.
  • Use newsletter signup for exclusive offers and early access.
  • Consider bank wire payment if the 2% wire discount applies.
  • Compare retail price, final price, warranty and return terms before buying.
  • Ask the concierge team for help if you are choosing between similar watches.

Trust & Reviews

The Solist has several trust signals that matter for luxury watch buyers. The store states that its products are sourced directly from leading brands and authorized retailers, have never been privately owned and are unquestionably authentic.

The Solist offers a two-year warranty on watches from the date of purchase. The warranty covers manufacturer defects involving the movement, hands and dial under normal use. Some watches may retain an original manufacturer warranty instead, so shoppers should review the listing and warranty information before buying.

The store also provides concierge support by phone and email, plus a New York private showroom by appointment. This can be helpful for shoppers who want a more guided luxury buying experience instead of a simple self-service checkout.

The Solist links to Trustpilot reviews and displays customer testimonials on its website. As always with luxury watches, shoppers should check the exact product details, warranty coverage, return eligibility, box and papers, condition and final price before purchasing.
