Hawaii Watch Service Center

Fast. Cost effective. Friendly. Even gave good advice about taking care of my watch so its life is extended. What more can you ask for.

Awesome Service. They replaced the Battery on my GSHOCK watch and they were lightning fast! I’ll use them from now on.

Very fast and friendly service, had my band resized in less than 3 minutes. A little hard to find parking but worth it. Next time I will have my wife drop me off and go around the block, probably will be done before she comes around again. Cost me $ 5.23.

Great service. The owner remove some links from my watch and change my watch band within a few minutes. No wait and very friendly. Tell also sell watches and wallets. Would definitely come here to change my batteries again.

I am still here. They are closed but still working on my watches. Very nice owner.

I took my vintage Longines watch in which had a loose stem. He tried but was not able to get the back off without a special Longines tool. He gave me a tip on how to remedy the problem myself without going to a Longines repair shop. Watch stem is working fine and the hour hands are setting as they should. Paul greets you with a smile. Highly recommend.

3 years later I am still a loyal customer! Service is fast, excellent and prices are reasonable! Whenever I need a watch battery replaced or a watch fixed I always come here!

$ 5 to remove extra links. Gave him $ 5 tip for being awesome and really quick! Seriously in and out in 3 minutes. =]

Fast and friendly service & inexpensive! I was able to watch him replace a new battery in front of me… knowing he used a good brand new Energizer battery from the sealed package for my Philip Stein watch. Easy to talk to. He explained the seal was not good because my watch was old and only the company would be able to replace the seals. I asked him to check the pins on my band, which he said were good, since my wife told me to check it out when she replaced a different band for me. Definitely worth your bother to find this place to get your battery and watch concerns taken care of. For free roadside parking, go on Sunday! He believes himself that he does good work. I’d go back here again!

Awesome work they changed my battery and watch band also added links to my brand new Moto 360.

I came here to get my battery replaced on my Ironman watch. It’s just not practical to buy a new one each time it stops working but doing maintenance on it usually costs a bit. I don’t always have the patience and the tools to replace things on it. I got charged a little over 8 dollars to replace the battery and it probably took about 15 minutes. Unfortunately, the seal was worn out so it wasn’t water resistant anymore but that is okay because I don’t time my swims anymore. He should probably get in the habit of telling people this before he completes the job instead of after as some people use their watch for swimming.

Superfast service! Took my watch for a new buckle and just less than 5 minutes and done! Cheerful owners, too. Definitely be back in the future.
Since i know chinatown a little bit, the parking wasn’t an issue. If you have someone with you, drop off corner of river st and king st, have your driver circle around and that’s it lmao.

$ 5.23 for a watch battery replacement. I was in and out in less than five minutes. I should have taken a closer look at my watch before leaving the store. I didn’t notice what looked like the rubber seal from inside the watch was poking out of the back until I got back to my office. I walked back and the owner immediately said «no guarantee» I didn’t make a fuss about it I just wanted it not to be poking out and asked him to fix it. He replaced the seal for $ 5.23 and said can’t promise that my watch will be waterproof. Which again, I didn’t care because I wear it to work not to go swimming and at the cost I figured as much. I was a bit annoyed that he didn’t catch it earlier, I don’t think I should have been charged a second time to put back the seal.
Like another reviewer posted, the back of my watch also has scratches, probably from the tool he used to open the watch.

Amazing!!! He replaced my battery in less than a minute! No scratches at all, and only for $ 5. I highly recommend this guy! Very friendly and extremely skilled!

Excellent service. Wonderful couple have run this place for 25 years. Replaced batteries for Tag, Gucci, Technomarine and Wenger for less than $ 30! Last time I got my watch batteries replaced at Macy’s done it was much more.

Very good service had my invicta battery replaced my renato battery replaced and pin put in which was a Rolex size pin and only cost me $ 20 for it all with fantastic on the spot service I will recommend this spot and will return

This boss man is so unbelievably nice! He’s probably one of the nicest grandpas out there. This lil gem is hidden away in Chinatown but don’t let that shy you away from letting him repair your watch. I came to replace a watch battery that longs kept for a week only to call me to let me know their watch repair man couldn’t open my specific watch style. This gramps did it in less than five minutes and for $ 5. Honestly how can you go wrong?! I told him I’d leave him a good review so here it is. I hope he can stay in business. :)

$ 5 for watch battery replacement. No wait. Took less than 1 minute. Cheerful employees. Short walk for those that work downtown. I’ll be back again and again!
Open Mon — Sat 9am — 4pm, Sun 9am — 2pm.

Hawaii Watch Service Repair is located on North King St, about 3 shops away from the River St river. Good luck finding parking — you may need to find street parking on the mauka side of Beretania. Problem is weaving in-​and-​out of the homeless tents. Still it’s only a 5 min walk to the shop.
Yes, it’s only $ 5 + $.23 tax for the battery and installation! Bring cash. Mr Paul Chang, owner, will do it in less than 5 min. Stools are available for sitting while you wait.
Hours are from 9 am — 4 pm daily, closes at 2 pm on Sunday. Mr Chang claims he’s even open on holidays (not Chinese New Year though).

Random hole in the wall business? I’m surprised and thrilled that I recall this place! I vaguely remember coming here with my mom when I was a toddler. I would tag along to Chinatown to help out with groceries on the weekends. I don’t know why this shop was on the list… mom probably knew the owner or something. It had a walkway going inside, with tons of bags, slippers, and antiques on the sides. But the real prize is the man behind the counter.
At the age of 8, I didn’t need any watch services… I don’t even think I owned a watch at the time. But now that I’m MUCH older, I come here every time I need a band resizing or new batteries for my watches. Mr. Chang is very efficient and effective at what he does. He is like the all-​knowing master of watches. He fixed up my watch in 5 minutes and it only costed me $ 5! Reasonable price and fast, friendly service.
Location could be hard to find if you aren’t familiar with Chinatown. Parking could also be a problem. Butttt, I can guarantee that your watch is worth it in the end! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
