Answered by Shaykh Sikander Hashmi

I have 5 or 6 watches that have been given to me as gifts by various people over the last few years, the total value of which comes to about £3000. Do I have to pay zakat on these watches?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful

The detailed rulings of zakat have been mentioned numerous times on the SunniPath website.

Based on those rulings, there will be no zakat on the watches given to you as gifts, unless they are gold/silver watches. In that case, the value of the gold/silver will have to be appraised and zakat will be payable on the appraised [weight] value.

Verily, Allah knows best.
