The San Diego Watch Man

Just had another battery changed and another link taken out on a watch the nice lady fixed for me previously. Again, friendly service and she didn’t even charge me for the link since it was the same watch. Now that’s definitely customer service… I’m a loyal customer!

Amy is great, so quick & personable. Repairs, battery replacement and they have several new watches and replacement watch bands! Awesome little shop, love it, I’ll be back!

Couldn’t agree more that this is the shop to go to. People are very nice; service and prices are excellent. Have been using them for years!!!

Got a new metal clasp band online and it was comically loose. I decided I could either order some watch tools online for $ 20 and spend an hour trying not to mess it up or just let the pros handle it. So I searched on Unilocal and found this place nearby.
Walked in the shop, showed her the band on my wrist, she pinched it — ‘4 links’. Took the watch, turned around, less than 5 minutes at the bench and voila, done. Fits perfectly. Cheap, too. Next time I have a watch issue I know where to go.

The only place I take my watches. From new bands to batteries this place always delivers quality service.
Support your local small businesses.

Service with a smile … Was cheeper then the price she quoted over the phone .
I nice family run business

Stopped in on the way to lunch. She was able to replace my batteries on the spot for only $ 15! I would recommend it and I’ll definitely go back if I need.

Came in to get my watch repaired because I drop it and bent the pin that was holding the strap. The lady fixed it in 2 mins and said there is no charge for the pin. Great service and will definitely recommend.

This is the place to go for a watch battery! They took my watch and not only replaced the bad battery that «Fast Fix» put in just a couple months ago that had already corroded — she cleaned out the area so that the new battery would function properly– for free! Fast Fix wanted to charge me $ 300 to clean my watch. From now on I will only get my batteries at San DIego Watch Man.

I needed a battery for my Michele watch. The lady at Nordstrom Rack told me to skip Fast Fix in the mall because they would charge me an arm and leg. She suggested The San Diego Watch Man. I walked in today and the nice man looked at my watch and said $ 12.95. Perfect, what a deal. 5 minutes later I walked out with a running watch. If we need any kind of watch repair, we will be back.

I’ve been coming here for several years, mostly for battery replacements and band adjustments. He is very reasonable, pleasant, and quick. Sometimes there is a little bit of a wait on the weekends but I think this is a one man show so it’s to be expected. I’ve taken in mid range and expensive watches and he is always very careful which I appreciate.

Did good work took 3 watches in and the fix itself was quick for batteries the only issue is that there was quite a wait. But for 8 bucks for a new battery can’t complain. I’ll be back for sure.

Went to Poway to get a battery for my high end watch. Was referred to some guy in nordstrum who i was warned was expensive.
Went on line and found a place on center city pkwy… called and asked if they could do it… Then drove there and was charged $ 8. My watch is fine.

This gentleman is so nice. I’ve brought my watches to him for new batteries for years. His shop is neat and clean. He has a great collection of watches in all price ranges. Thank you, Watch Man!

Was in and out within 10 minutes. Fast service and only cost $ 12 to replace my battery. I think it’s even less if it’s a standard watch.

Very polite man with lighting speed service!

great shop. Watch batteries always replaced quickly, other fixes done equally fast and the man who does it is always nice. I really enjoy supporting good people like this who are obviously committed to customer service. I did have one negative experience where I brought in a Nike Hammer Watch and apparently there is a specific way it has to be taken apart in order to reach the battery. The watch was housing was essentially ruined and kept popping/​falling apart on me after having it serviced here, and I ended up having to spend over $ 100 to get it repaired because of how the rubber part was torn from trying to pry into it to access the battery. Lesson learned, only send Nike watches to Nike authorized repair places. Take my advice! haha Other than that I will always bring my business here.

This is my go-​to watch store in this area!
Really cute little shop, often not busy at all. In fact, every time I have gone I was the only one in the store. The man that works there is really nice, and always punches extra holes in my watches free of charge.

Unilocal to the rescue, again.
My «beater» watch’s resin/​rubber band deteriorated and tore apart. I didn’t want to hit the mall or go to some fancy jeweler to get this small issue addressed (I didn’t want to pay jeweler prices, either). Found this place on Unilocal,got good reviews and was close to work.
Drove up to this small shop, no line inside, just Amy working solo. She complained the front door of the shop needed repair. Probably because of all the traffic and business they’ve been getting, damaged the door perhaps?
Found a nice, substantial looking 22 mm replacement leather band in stock, with fine stitching and was waterproof as a bonus. Amy replaced the old band with the new one in less than 7 minutes, while I stood and waited. Out the door for around $ 26.
They don’t do watch cleanings, though. It’s best to go to a jeweler for that.
I’ll be back again, soon.
The old Casio needs a new battery, anyway.

Fast and courteous. Will definitely come back for all of my watch needs :)
