TID Watches Guide: Collections, Straps & Care
TID is a watch brand founded in Stockholm in 2012. Its name is the Swedish word for time. This guide brings together the brand's collection information, care advice and links to current store policies.
Where does TID's design come from?
TID's design roots are in Stockholm, Sweden. The brand was founded by Ola E. Bernestål, Petrus Palmér, Jonas Pettersson and John Löfgren, with the design studio Form Us With Love. Design origin should be distinguished from the manufacturing origin of an individual product.
How do the TID watch collections differ?
| Collection | Distinctive design | Explore |
|---|---|---|
| No.1 | A clear dial, crown at 9 o'clock and interchangeable straps. | No.1 watches |
| No.2 | A brushed dial with raised numerals and a silver-toned design. | No.2 watches |
| No.3 | A lightweight, transparent TR90 case with colourful dial and strap options. | No.3 watches |
| No.4 | A clean dial that uses hour markers rather than Arabic numerals. | No.4 watches |
Sizes, materials and available options vary by model. Check the selected product and variant before ordering.
Why is the crown on the left side?
The crown at 9 o'clock is a signature of TID No.1. Its position is intended to reduce pressure against the hand when the watch is worn on the left wrist.
How should I choose a replacement strap?
Confirm the strap dimensions and compatibility for your exact watch model before choosing a material or colour. TID offers leather, nylon, silicone and Twain strap collections. Do not assume that one strap size fits every watch.
Are all TID watches equally water resistant?
No. TID's care guidance lists different water-resistance ratings depending on the model. Check the marking on the back of your watch and its product specifications. The strap material also matters: leather and Twain straps should be kept away from liquids.
Read model and material care guidance.
How do I care for the watch glass and strap?
Use a microfibre cloth to clean the glass. Avoid exposing leather and leather-backed Twain straps to liquids or chemicals. TID's care page provides separate cleaning instructions for nylon and silicone straps.
Where can I check shipping charges and delivery availability?
Use the current shipping policy to check charges, destinations, order processing and possible import duties. Order processing time is separate from the time a parcel spends in transit.
How do I request a return?
The published return policy describes a 14-day period after receipt to request a return, subject to its conditions. Contact info@tidwatches.com before sending a parcel to obtain the correct return instructions and address. Return costs depend on the reason for the return.
