Shinola Reviews

4.4

Shinola earns strong reviews for handsome, durable design—watches run reliably for years and leather goods withstand heavy travel—yet the brand is often described as style-forward and overpriced for what it is. Reviewers praise monogrammable notebooks and in-store experiences, but note clunky time-setting on some watches and frustrating customer service and online experience.

    I love my shinola watch & after 10 years I still get people coming up to me & commenting on the watch. It's just so classic & classy. And it still runs well after all these years. I love that you can change out the band so easily.

    Absolutely love anything made by this brand, have had a great experience in stores and love the last watch I purchased. I will for sure be a repeat customer, I’m always looking at their outlet section for good deals!

    Shinola's products are for you if you value craftsmanship and a nod to "the old ways" of designing and building products. In general, you pay a premium for style over substance, but hey if you love style then Shinola products are great. Watches: Beautifully designed, plenty of options, but a bit overpriced for what they are, especially if you are in to watch collecting. I have picked up some great deals on quartz watches at Shinola's factory outlet, which is one of the few brand outlets that sell discontinued stock Leather goods: IMO, this is Shinola's bread and butter. I have had my backpack for 5 years, traveled extensively with it, and it's showing no signs of wear. Plenty of pockets and storage, and just quality through and through Notebooks: Another Shinola staple. Love that you can customize/monogram the notebooks and I really like that there are so many combinations of color, size, and format. Time to say bye-bye to your Moleskin. Headphones: Unfortunately, discontinued. BUT, I love putting these bad boys on. Are they the best headphones out there? No, but damn do they feel/look great and go great with a glass of scotch.

    Online shopping experience/website isn't up to par with the Shinola brand experience. I want to feel like I'm walking into the Shinola hotel when I land on your website and it just feels like any other website. Also, more options for monogramming online would be great!

    My wife gifted me the Shinola Argonite-5021 so it has sentimental value. But it's definitely been the best watch I've ever owned. It looks modern, yet classic. Has a solid heft to it. I loved that it's a nice watch that isn't showy. I can wear it with a suit or jeans and a T-shirt. I'm also a sucker for premium packaging and love the wooden box it came in. (I'm the type of person who keeps iPhone boxes for years after purchase)

    The Good - A premium, classic look - Stainless Steel/Navy/Brown leather works for any occasion - Nice heft to watch. Feels solid The Bad - Setting the time can be a pain–not intuitive
