Re: Insurance

In Response To: Insurance ()

Your watch WILL be covered by standard homeowner's or renters insurance. You do not need anything more.

Sure, you have to pay your deductible if the watch is stolen. But insurance companies are getting very nasty about small claims. Even to the extent of canceling people's policies after a few small claims. And getting new insurance after being dropped by a company is difficult and expensive.

So for an most wristwatches, you are better off NOT counting on insurance for protection--unless the watch is lost/stolen along with enough other things to make a significantly larger claim.

Long gone are the days when you could count on property insurance companies for dealing with you fairly.
