Product, Sustainability & Materials
What exactly are ModuLab watches made from?
Our watch cases and structured framing components are engineered primarily from certified recycled ocean plastics.
We transform intercepted marine waste into a high-grade, durable polymer. This material gives the watch structural integrity while remaining incredibly lightweight and completely water-resistant.
Where can I get the instruction for the DIY watch kit?
You can easily get the instruction for your watch kit by watching this video.
Is the watch waterproof?
Yes. ModuLab watches are designed for active everyday use and offer 3ATM water resistance, meaning they can withstand rain and everyday splashes.
They are not suitable for swimming, showering, or diving.
What does "Modular Architecture" mean in practice?
It means your timepiece is an evolving canvas. The outer bezels, straps, and protective armor elements can be effortlessly detached and interchanged without requiring custom watchmaking tools.
This modular system drastically extends the life of the product, letting you refresh its look instead of buying a whole new watch.
Education & Collaborations
Is ModuLab suitable for schools and educational institutions?
Absolutely. ModuLab is widely recognized as an official, hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) learning asset.
We offer designated workshop assembly kits tailored for schools to teach students about the circular economy, mechanical engineering, and product design.
Do you offer bulk discounts for schools or corporate custom versions?
Yes, we love creative co-creation. We actively partner with global intellectual properties (IPs), environmental NGOs, and school networks.
For custom branding, volume procurement, or specialized school syllabus requests, please reach out directly to our partnerships division at partner@mdlwatch.com.

Warranty, Repairs & Returns
What is the warranty policy on a ModuLab watch?
Every ModuLab watch comes with a 1-Year Limited Warranty from the date of purchase.
This warranty covers manufacturing defects in the watch movement, hands, dial, and structural case.
It does not cover normal wear and tear, intentional damage, scratches, or battery depletion over time.
How does the modular design impact repairs?
This is the beauty of modularity! Traditional watches require complex servicing if a part breaks.
With ModuLab, if an external case component or strap sustains damage, you do not need to replace the entire watch. You can simply order the specific replacement module from our site and swap it out yourself in seconds.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 14-day return window for unused products.
To be eligible for a refund, your watch, strap, or educational kit must be completely unworn, unaltered, and returned in its original, undamaged packaging.
Return shipping costs are borne by the customer unless the product arrived defective.
Cancellation fees depend on timing: a 10% service fee applies if you cancel within 2 hours (before dispatch), and a 20% service fee applies for cancellations after your order has shipped.
For full details, please refer to our Return Policy.
