Watery review [ 2026 ] - Is it a good place to shop?

Watery is Ireland’s largest online store for swimming and water sports. But is it a good place to shop? Here is our short assessment and what you should know before placing an order.

In short: 4.6 out of 5 stars in customer reviews

Watery is a safe choice if you need equipment for the water: a wide selection, competitive prices and a 365-day return policy, which is significantly better than the standard 14 days. Plenty of happy customers all around!

Advantages of Watery

There are four things in particular that customers highlight when reviewing Watery:

The selection. More than 4,100 products for water sports. If you need something specific, such as prescription swimming goggles for farsightedness, a wetsuit for a child or earplugs that actually keep water out, you are very likely to find it on the website.
The prices. An automated pricing system scans competitors’ prices daily and adjusts prices continuously. If you find the product cheaper elsewhere, Watery will match the price.
365 days of free exchanges. While many online stores only offer 14 days for exchanges, Watery offers 365 days of free exchanges, giving you plenty of time to test the fit of your new swimming equipment at home.
The advice. The customer service team participates in the sports themselves and has many years of experience in the industry.

Disadvantages of Watery

There are three things in particular that customers criticise when reviewing Watery:

Delivery times during peak season. When the sun comes out or Christmas shopping reaches its peak, delivery may take an extra day. Watery usually dispatches the parcel the same day, after which it is in the hands of the delivery company.
No physical store. You cannot visit a shop to try on your new swimwear. Watery is a 100% online store.
Sizing can be tricky. Swimwear fits differently from brand to brand and from model to model. Watery therefore puts significant focus on continuously improving the size guides available for each product.

What do other customers say about Watery?

Watery receives reviews both on its own website and on Trustpilot, with high ratings on both. Reviews can only be written by customers with an order, and the store does not remove criticism, so you can get the full picture by reading the reviews.

Positive reviews most often mention fast delivery and helpful customer service. Negative reviews almost always concern delayed parcels. You can read them all, both good and bad, on Watery’s customer review page and on its Trustpilot profile.

Can you trust Watery?

Yes. Watery has processed more than 1,500,000 orders since the online store opened, and you do not reach that many orders if you consistently disappoint your customers.

The store is registered to sell in each of the countries it ships to and operates according to the consumer protection rules that apply there. This means you have cancellation and complaint rights regardless of where you order from. Payments are processed through approved payment solutions.

In addition to the statutory requirements, Watery offers several extra benefits: free exchanges for a full year, price matching if you find the product cheaper elsewhere, and customer service that you can contact by phone, email and chat.

We cannot point to anything that gives particular reason to be sceptical of Watery. If you would rather form your own opinion, you can read the reviews on Trustpilot or Google.

Is Watery a good place to shop?

Yes. If you need equipment for water sports, Watery is a store worth considering. Its wide selection and 365 days of free exchanges make Watery one of the easiest places to buy swimming equipment in Europe.
