I've been looking for a new watch place and came across Alexander clocks & watches. Such a nice buisness. I was in and out within 5 mins. The owner was very polite. 10/10. Will be returning. read more

Could not replace a winding stem.. He said the don't have the replacement.. I've watched enough YouTube videos. At least take a few minutes to try.. I felt shut down and it seemed he was not interested on my repair. read more

Always AMAZING service. Family owned business. They are always friendly and helpful. They always do an excellent job whether it's a battery change or a size change on my watches. Prices are sooo reasonable and affordable. Highly recommend read more

First time customer. Very impressed with the shop overall and the customer service was outstanding. Highly recommended.

I have been coming here for over 12 yrs. Watch repairs, band adjustments and battery replacements. This last visit they broke my watch band while replacing my battery, said the band was old and wanted to charge me for a new ugly replacement band & charge me for the battery replacement. I love supporting small businesses but not this one anymore! read more

Customer service is excellent. Will be back for all my future watch service and repair needs

These people here at Alexander Clocks and Watches are first and foremost amazing, beautiful people! Service is outstanding, second to none! Took my Dads watch in after he passed away to see if they could restore it and they did! That watch is everything to me and I'm able to enjoy it more because of them. Next, I took in two busted watches, and without a hitch, or a doubt, they completely fixed both watches!! You want to meet fantastic people then come here, you want great service then come here, you want watches or them to fix your watch(es) then come here, you want clocks then come here!! I do not work here, but they have me for my lifetime when it comes to watches or clocks!! Thank you Alexander Clocks and Watches for allowing me to be happy with my Dads watch (R.I.P.). read more

What went well?! Everything! Have always dealt with Mr. Vargas, the owner, but today his daughter took care of two watches for me in a friendly and timely (Couldn't resist.) manner. Hope to meet his son next time I'm in. I really like doing business with a family owned and run concern. The trust continues and the quality of work is automatically assured. J. Irving read more

What a stellar business. After removing a couple of links from a metal band I'd ordered online, I needed to remove one or two more. But the tool that came with the band bent so badly that I couldn't get the spring bars out of the links. I took it into this shop and one of the gentlemen who works there helped me out in a jiffy. I'm so appreciative of their kind and quick response. Really got me out of a pickle. read more

Nice people. Watch battery changed in 5 mins. Reasonable price. The store is nice and well lit. Plenty of parking.

I was welcomed with a warm smile from an older gentleman (not sure what his name was). He was very professional, and extremely honest. He only charged me $10 for the battery replacement on my Diesel watch. I shopped around and I got estimates anywhere from 20$(Cortez Jewelers) - $30(Time To Repair-Tyler Mall). I am stunned to have paid third of the price for the battery. Very respectful and polite gentleman, if you have ANY watches that need to be serviced or any battery replacement, this is the place to shop. I, myself will be a returning customer for all my watch needs. Thank you Sir! read more

To Alexander, I came by last week with a Cuckoo Clock who's music movement stopped working... I carefully followed your advice and oiled the clock and music box movements but it still wasn't running. Then I removed the music box and both the chain mechanism and the music movement freed up. (maybe the drive gears were binding) After running it through many many revolutions and reoiling the music box with another drop of special clock oil I reinstalled and viola, it works again. I did it! Thanks for your help. read more

quick and friendly. Needed help replacing the band on my watch. They helped me out for no charge. Will be back if I need repairs!!

Great service and up front cost! Cutest shop to walk into and nicest service of what seems to be a Family-Owned Business. Came here to fix a Clock and it was done pretty quick in about a week. Would definitely come here and fix my watches and clocks in the future!! read more

Have had two watches repaired here, very quick and efficient. No problems. Middle aged gentleman that works here is friendly enough, older aged gentleman (maybe the owner?), not so much. Maybe I caught him on a bad day compared to other posters. read more

Purchased a Musical Motion Wall clock. I noticed that the rotary carousel motion was inconsistent regarding the simulation of motion seen on a typical anniversary clock. When contacting tech support it was felt that the battery was a problem. I assured support that as a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Electronics that the power source was not the problem but a missing part of the spindle that is needed to engages the toothed area of the Carousel. I sent detailed photos to show my concern regarding a missing part and response from technical support has stopped! read more

Someone at work told me about this shop a few years ago. I am not sure how long it has been in this location as I basically grew up around the corner in the 80's lol but glad to have it here in Riverside and I saw an award from the mayor that said you have been here for 25 years! Super awesome. Not too many businesses can say that- so thats should tell you that they are doing something right! I came here twice now for batteries in my time keeping devices. One little table clock was $5 for the battery and I love that it works because I bought it for .99 cents on eBay! Two watches batteries cost $10- one because it was "complicated with screws" the second because it had three batteries inside. All good, fair price to pay to get things working again! Now here's my luck- Got the new battery, hit the hubby up to set the time on the digital one she didn't set up for me for some odd reason. Wore it the next day and the wristband broke! Ugh. lol I was wearing it for the heart rate monitor. Oh well. Time to invest in another band or another watch- too bad I am way too cheap for an Apple Watch lol I wonder if he works on those? Good family owned business! I hope you choose to support them- just don't call the little dog inside a cat, he will never forgive you. lol Oh I forgot to mention, it's a little old fashioned but they do have some really amazing clocks in here if you are thinking of a gift for someone that has everything! read more

Alexander Clocks & Watches - Beautiful and sounds wonderful too! Only $475!! - Watches Near Me - Riverside, California

I rarely need to get my watches fixed and on the rare occasions that I do, I want the best touching and working on them. My gf and I LOVE watches and we have built a pretty nice collection of them over the years. Alexander clocks and watches have been in the clock business for over 30 years, so you know they know a thing or two about watches. When you first walk in you immediately get greeted by either Alex sr or Alex jr. they asses your watches and let you know their recommendations. Turn around is pretty quick. I dropped off about 12 watches and I got them back in a week. Price for battery replacements vary 5-10$ depending on watch, watch cleaning varies from 30-45 for a deep clean and watch repair varies from 30-100+ depending on the damage. There is plenty of parking as well which is a plus. If you're a watch collector like us, inside their store they have a nice assortment of brands that they sell. I would recommend Alexander for your watch needs Enjoy fellow yelpers :) read more

Very kind individual who works there. Went in for a watch battery. Was super quick and only cost $10. Location of store isn't great but not the fault of the owner. read more

Traditional family owned watch shop. Friendly and knowledgeable. Took 6-7 watches in today for new batteries/sizing. Very reasonable pricing and done in an hour! Never going to the mall for this again. Thanks Alexander! I will definitely be back. read more

Went there based on all the 5 star reviews. Wasn't disappointed at all. The gentleman who greeted me must have been the owner. Very cordial. Went there to get my Tag Heuer Aquaracer resized. Gave him the watch and after 2 adjustments, I was out the door within 10 minutes. Decent price too since I know the mall jewelers nearby would've charged at least $50 for this service. Would not hesitate to bring my watches to be worked on by this fine establishment read more

$7 for replacing a battery for watch. It took only for a couple of minutes for him to change the battery! I almost got charged $40-$50 for it at Tyler mall. I'm glad I found this place!! read more

I have a 30 year old, 6' Big Ben Chiming clock that stopped Chiming. No point in having a silent clock other than its a decorative mahogany dust-catcher. Alex IS the clock technician. Fixed right the first time; accurate time and a melodious tone, thanks to him. Alex has the skill-set and the personal attitude that makes it a pleasure to do business with him. It takes a craftsman to deal with the intricacies of a mechanism such as my 66th Aniversary Edition possesses. I would say that his work is akin to a Rolex/Lexus experience. He is busy - but worth the wait!! Don't put repairing your clock off any longer - when you hear it chime, you'll be as pleased as I am!! read more

Great shop to have your batteries replaced for your watch the shop owner is very knowledgeable and efficient.

I tried to save a couple bucks and replace a battery myself and ended up destroying the watch & cracking the crystal. Long story short, I went to Alexander's, they fixed my watch, repaired some internal components and replaced crystal and the watch is once again perfect. It's a small family owned business & they are very polite people, very professional, great communication, just perfect service. read more
