Bayside Watch

This guy was perfectly friendly, fixed my watch for free. The backplate popped out and needed to be pressed back in. While most places charge for this service and take your watch to the back, he did it free of charge and did the work in front of me. I really appreciated it.

I had excellent service at Bayside Watch when I needed to get a new battery. Rahmat was extremely helpful and answered all questions I had about watches and jewelry. I appreciate the help and will definitely continue returning to Bayside for any watch inquiries. Thank you once again!

I could not have had a better experience at a watch repair shop. The man working there was so delightfully nice that he made my day. My transaction went extremely smooth and he fixed the watch I brought in within five minutes. He’s a miracle worker! :)
Only thing to note: If using google maps app: It made it confusing to get there but it’s in the Macy’s parking lot on the opposite side across from Macy’s. (Near See’s Candies and Chipotle!)

Looking to get a couple battery replacements. Bayside prices are $ 18 for water resistance watches and $ 10 for all others.

My watch’s strap broke over Christmas, the metal piece that connects the watch and the leather strap snapped. So I looked Bayside Watch up on Unilocal and walked in. I handed my watch to the man behind the counter and before I even said anything about it, he nodded his head and said «I see.» 30 seconds later he fixed it. And here’s the best part, FREE. I was in there less than two minutes and I got a free replacement on a broken watch strap part. I will definitely go back. :)

I took my watch in for a battery change. He had trouble opening it and said he would have to keep it over night and would call me when it was done. One week to the day I called them and was told they would have to send it out. I picked it up instead and the back was damaged. I took it to Pendulum Faire. They first commented on the damaged back and then changed the battery, on the spot for under $ 10.

Total rip off! I called & was told it was $ 18 dollars to simply replace a watch battery? I don’t think so! I went to Pedulum Faire Clock Shop on Patterson instead & paid $ 9.72 (tax included) & man replaced it on the spot!

I’ve been taking my watches here for years for new batteries, easy parking, convenient location. This past Christmas I received a diamond band ring that was too big. I decided to take it here since they have been in town a long time and have always been nice to work with. They resized the ring for me at a reasonable price. He warned me that a diamond could fall out because the size difference would cause the band to bend so much a diamond could pop out, and sure enough the day I got it back a diamond fell out! But I brought it right back and he put a new diamond in and tightened it for me for free :)
Very nice to work with, reliable, and honest.

The gentleman who works here is wonderful! He’ll replace any watch battery in a flash, knows everything there is to know about any timepiece from any era, and is so patient and kind. And the prices can’t be beat! My entire family has been coming here since they opened. I can’t recommend them more highly. Please support this store. Kindness should be rewarded.

I bought my own new replacement watch band online for my G Shock watch. After I realized that I needed a unique tool to change it, I called Bayside Watch. Over the phone the man said that he would charge me 7 dollars to install the band. That seemed more than fair. I went in today, I told him that I had purchased the band elsewhere and that I wanted to pay him to install it. He put it on right away while I waited, less than 5 minutes, and said no charge! I asked, «are you sure? I was prepared to pay». He said, no charge, have a nice day. Very awesome service. Next time I need to buy something I’ll come to him.

Total rip-​off. Charged me $ 25 for changing a Michelle watch battery. Never paid more than $ 10 at any other location, including Beverly Hills!

Strap broke while visiting family. Courteous man who answered my call was waiting for me half hour later. Ten minutes later I walked out with brand new strap, very fair price, and his thanks for the business. Oh that they were all like this !

Got battery replaced for $ 10 in less than 5 minutes. And the man is always so nice.

I went in for a battery change and this is what I got back:
1) He totally scratched the backing of my watch and warped the gap to open the watch.
2) When I asked him what happened he said «that’s what you have to do with a cheap watch like that.»
3) He rushed me to give him his $ 20 and gave me mean attitude as I was obviously unhappy inspecting his his shotty work.
4) He tried to brush me off but then eventually decided to help me when I told him he should have told me that changing my watch battery meant I’d get it back all scratched up. He then reluctantly buffed out the damage that he had created. It’s still not in the condition it was in when I brought it to him to do a simple battery change.
Whether or not my watch is cheap is not the issue. That was just plain rude and very immature. The issue is that HE should BE ABLE to change the watch battery with out scathing the S**T out of the stainless steel backing of my watch. Since this IS what he does for a living.
The watch is a Juicy Couture watch that my sister gave to me for my bday and I’m sure it’s worth more than the fake Rolex’s he’s got displayed in his store.
Here’s a proper disclaimer for this place:
Let me change your watch battery and insult you after you’ve realized I’ve damaged the aesthetics of the watch with a bunch of scratches. Unbelievable, some people.
What an A-​hole.

This place is the best!!! They do great work, and have reasonable prices. Up until now, I’d only gone in for new watch batteries (only $ 10), but my watch was not working properly, and sending it back to the manufacturer was very pricey. I took it in to Bayside, and not only was the cost WAY below what it would have cost to send out for repairs, but the gentleman working fixed it while I waited. He was super friendly and interested in me and what I did (I had mentioned I could not afford the prices to send it out) and he wanted to make sure I was getting by — he honestly took an interest. Its rare that people want to really know about you these days. I left with a perfectly working watch, and a smile on my face that someone took the time to ask genuine questions and really care about their customers. I wish all businesses were fun this way. I will recommend Bayside watch to everyone now! Thank you for an excellent experience!

Easy in and out with just what I needed

Just stopped by on my lunch break to get a battery replaced on my Nixon. Fast and inexpensive, thumbs up.

I REQUESTED: 2 links removed, 3 batteries replaced.
I RECEIVED: 2 links removed, 2 batteries replaced, 1 watch w/​a broken crown
COST: $ 30.73
… the man behind the counter also dropped one of the watches on the ground accidentally. Oddly enough that watch wasn’t the one that was returned to me with a broken crown. I can only assume the crown on the other watch snapped when he was attempting to replace the battery. He said he couldn’t replace the battery on this watch because of the broken crown. When the man handed it back to me he mentioned the crown was broken as though I’d brought it to him that way.
These are the facts. You be the judge.

Took my watch into Bayside today after the band came off on Sunday watching the Mavs beat the Heat for the NBA championship. Maybe I was getting too excited during the game, don’t really know how it happened. The pins must have gotten loose from me waving my arms about and were perhaps affected by all the yelling. I tried to fix to no avail. This watch means a lot to me as it was a gift and I was worried about the fix and cost. Bayside fixed ‘er up with some heavy duty pins for $ 5! Good «time“s are ahead again. Just hope the Lakers do better next year.
By the way they are located in the same strip as Vons, next to Panda Express and by See’s Candies.
