Buying a watch band online can feel like a gamble. You can't touch it, you can't try it on, and you're trusting a few product photos to tell the whole story.
That's why the Astra Straps 100-Day Guarantee exists. It's not fine print buried at the bottom of a page. It's one of the main reasons people choose Astra Straps in the first place.
Here's exactly what the guarantee covers, how to use it, and why it changes the way you can shop.

What Is the Astra Straps 100-Day Guarantee?
The Astra Straps 100-Day Guarantee is a risk-free promise that covers every band sold on astrastraps.com. From the day your order ships, you have 100 days of protection against:
- Product faults
- Defects
- Packages lost in transit
If something goes wrong with your band during that window, whether it's a manufacturing defect or it never showed up at all, Astra Straps will make it right. That's the short version. The longer version is worth understanding so you know exactly what to expect.
What Does the Guarantee Actually Cover?
The 100-Day Guarantee protects you in three specific situations:
Product defects
If your band arrives with a manufacturing fault, such as a broken clasp, a split seam, or a connector that doesn't sit right, you're covered. Astra Straps stands behind the build quality of every band, and they don't expect you to absorb the cost of a product that didn't meet the standard it was made to.
Damage in transit
Occasionally, packages take a beating on the way to you. If your order arrives damaged because of how it was shipped, that's on them, not on you.
Lost shipments
If your order doesn’t arrive within 20 business days after placing it, reach out to the support team. If tracking shows no movement or the package is confirmed lost, Astra Straps will take care of you, usually with a fast replacement so you’re not left waiting.
Beyond these three, if you're just not happy with your purchase, there's a straightforward returns process too, which we'll get into below.
What If You Receive a Damaged or Incorrect Item?
If your band arrives defective, damaged, or just plain wrong, email support@astrastraps.com within 7 days of receiving it. Include your:
- Order number
- Clear photo of the issue
That's all they need to get things sorted. The team's goal is to find the best resolution quickly, whether that's a replacement, an exchange, or a refund.
For damaged or faulty returns specifically, return shipping is free. You won’t be paying out of pocket to send back something that wasn’t your fault.
Here’s what that looks like in practice. Say your clasp arrives cracked. You send a quick photo along with your order number, and the support team walks you through the replacement from there. No long forms, no back and forth, no proving your case. Most people are surprised by how quickly it gets handled.
What About Returns for a Change of Mind?
The standard return window is 90 days from the date your order is delivered. To be eligible, the item needs to be unused, in the same condition it arrived in, and packed in the original packaging.
If you're returning something simply because you changed your mind or it wasn't quite right for you, return shipping costs are on you. But if the item arrived defective or damaged, return shipping is covered by Astra Straps.
Before sending anything back, you’ll need to contact support first to get return instructions and the correct address for your order. Returns sent without prior authorization may not be processed.
Why Does Astra Straps Offer This Guarantee?
The 100-Day Guarantee isn't just a marketing move. It's a direct reflection of the quality standard every Astra Straps band is held to before it ships.
Every band goes through quality checks before it leaves the warehouse. That's the reason Astra Straps can back the guarantee without flinching. If the bands weren't built to last, offering 100 days of coverage wouldn't make business sense.
The confidence behind the policy is the same confidence that goes into making the bands in the first place.
That said, if something does slip through, the guarantee is there so you don't end up holding a band that doesn't do what it's supposed to.
How to Use the Guarantee: Step by Step
Using the guarantee is straightforward:
1. Email support@astrastraps.com with your order number and a description of the issue. If there's a visible defect or damage, include a photo.
2. The support team will review your case and come back to you with a resolution. That might be a replacement, an exchange, or a refund.
3. If a return is needed, wait for return instructions before sending anything back. The team will give you the correct return address based on your order.
4. If your item is defective or faulty, your return shipping is covered. If you're returning for another reason, return shipping costs fall to you.
The customer care team operates Monday through Friday and tends to respond quickly, often the same day. If you contact them over the weekend, expect a response on the next business day. Either way, you’re not chasing anyone down. Reaching a real person is the easy part.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
Before you order, there are a couple of details worth knowing so there are no surprises.
You have 12 hours after placing your order to make any changes, including:
- Address updates
- Modifications
- Cancellations
After that, orders move into fulfillment and can't be changed or canceled. If you need to adjust something, reach out as soon as possible.
Delivery typically takes 5 to 10 business days after your order ships, with a fulfillment window of 1 to 5 business days before that. If your order hasn't arrived within 20 business days, contact support and they'll look into it.
Astra Straps is also not responsible for packages that are undeliverable due to incorrect address information, so double-check your details at checkout. Every order comes with a tracking number, and you'll get an email with a link to follow it.
The Bottom Line
The Astra Straps 100-Day Guarantee is there to take the risk out of buying a band you haven't held in your hands yet. It covers defects, transit damage, and lost shipments for 100 days from your order, with a 90-day standard return window on top of that.
If anything goes wrong, getting help is as simple as sending an email. The team is set up to fix problems, not create them. That's the whole point.
