very fair watch repair shop. my mom and i came in with 6 watches for battery replacement. i thought the pricing was very fair. at pick up, they gave us a lot of useful feedback on each watch. ex. to be extra careful bec they caught that one of the bracelets was getting worn. highly recommend. read more

Opened up the store late on Saturday and when I went in, quoted me a repair price that was a lot more than the cost of the watch. I wish they would have told me that on the phone when I called them the day before. read more

We sent them many watches over many years, all of them higher quality antique pocket watches. Manu either fixed them or told me they were not worth fixing. I just paid 300 for a major overhaul of a 100 year old heirloom given our grand daughter for college graduation. Worth every penny and right in line with the estimate. J.

Took my watch in for a simple band adjustment got it back with two big scratches on the glass. I took photos the day before of how it was before taking it in but they denied scratching it and couldn't care less. If you care about your watch don't take it here read more

See all

Such a great find! The proprietors where extremely kind and helpful. I was able to find a perfect watch band replacement and get two battery replacements all in about fifteen minutes for an extremely reasonable price. I have several watches ready to bring there on my next trip to Annandale. Even though it's not close to my home, I will not take my watches anywhere else in the future. read more

Don't usually like to write bad review for such mom and pop shops but this shop has not so good bedside manners. They come off rude and entitled. Most importantly, the feeling of getting SCAMMED needs to be made as a knowledge to the public. I came in to replace battery for a vintage 90s Gucci watch. During the intake process, they make it seem like the Gucci watch needs special tools to open and therefore the charge is 25 vs 20. Fine and proceed with the battery replacement. Then the owners came back w a photo of the watch movement and said the old battery may have acid leaked the movement. Therefore they can't guarantee if the watch will continue to work w a new battery replacement. They said, it may or may not work, then recommended to replace the entire Swiss movement w a generic non-Swiss movement for $500. I questioned whether that's a fair replacement since now I am being offered to pay for a $500 no Swiss movement in exchange for my original Swiss movement. The owners said that I shouldn't care about the Gucci Swiss movement as nothing is special because Gucci technically doesn't make movements!! While I am very much aware that most Swiss watch companies all Buy from the same Swiss movement makers. What a contradictory statement to the initial intake that Gucci cost $5 extra because it required special tools. I felt the owners' offer was nothonest so I declined their offer and went to another shop in Vienna. Guess what?! Gucci is fine and the watch maker didn't see acid damage that will warrant movement replacement. I paid $25 and now the watch is working. I couldn't help to think that this Annandale watch shop was trying to rip me off. Please be careful and alway get a second opinion. read more

Work on jewelry is shotty and when you address it with them with proof that they did the repair they will not fix their mistake without charging you extra for their own mistake. The workers are rude and disrespectful to customers. I do not recommend this business. read more

I brought my Rolex oyster perpetual in for a watch strap installation. The folks at Annandale watch and clock were incredibly professional and the price was very reasonable. read more

Stopped in here to replace 3 Fossil watch batteries. Always love to support local businesses. They were extremely welcoming and were able to replace the batteries within 30 mins. They are cheaper than going to Fossil and probably quicker too. Please support them! read more

For my last review of 2021, I thought it appropriate to discuss a new hobby which helped me "pass the time" during 2020, specifically horology. Loosely defined, horology is the study of measurement of time, and particularly with the appreciation of watches and clocks. In June 2020, a Hodinkee video popped up in my YouTube feed and that began my descent into the "rabbit hole" of consuming hours of content related to watches. As a side note, I'd also recommend Teddy Baldassarre's YT channel since he also has a lot of great content. The fact is in today's society there really is not a need for a wrist watch. With the ubiquity of smartphones and other associated technologies, it's not difficult to ascertain the time of the day. I own a FitBit which I only wear when I'm exercising, and not that I'm a Luddite, but I'm generally opposed to smartwatches (even though all my siblings have Apple Watches) since I find it a hassle to have to charge that device daily. I had an 20yr old Tag Heur Link Calibre 5 which was sitting in a drawer gathering dust, mainly because I found it to be a bit bulky and it needed servicing as it kept loosing a few seconds on a monthly basis, as automatic movements are prone to do. I noticed Annandale Watch and Clock Co as I was exiting my favorite K-BBQ place Kogiya (across the street) and decided to take my Tag there for service. Excuse the pun, but as you walk in, this place literally looks like it is stuck in a time warp from the 80's. I was greeted by the owner, Manu and after a few minutes talking with him, I immediately knew that this guy not only knew what he was talking about, but was extremely passionate about watches. The price to service my old Tag was very reasonable, and much cheaper than a mall jewelry shop (names withheld to protect the innocent) quoted me. And you know what, after I got my watch back, I actually started wearing it more often. Since then, I've purchased a few other pieces including a G-Shock GA2100 (aka the "Casio Oak") and my new daily driver, a Seiko SNZF49 - sometimes referred to as a "Baby Monster" or "Sea Urchin" with an orange dial. This shop specializes in more affordable time pieces, but Manu also services more high end brands like Omega and Rolex. And sure I could find some of my watches cheaper online, but it's great to be able to "talk watches" with someone who really knows their stuff, similar to getting insights from a real auto mechanic. I've referred a few of my friends who had their time pieces serviced here with the majority of the work being for either battery or band replacements, but this shop can also custom fabricate pieces for watch repair. My aunt also had her 50 year old grandfather clock serviced here and it's now back in operation. Not sure I'll ever get to the point where I'm spending $10K for a Rolex or Omega, but at least it's nice to know that if I need to get it serviced, I can come to an awesome Mom and Pop place like Annandale Watch and Clock. read more

Great service! Cleaned and repaired a vintage Bulova that was my father's high school graduation present in the 60s. Very reasonably cost and watch runs great again. Keeps time as well as some of my much more expensive timepieces now. read more

I went here to have a watch battery replaced. I off handedly asked if they could replace the crystal which had some scratches. in the past I had been yold by others that it would take several weeks. This shop dod the job in less than a week and for less money than I had been quoted in the past. I recommend them highly. read more

Visited this shop about a month ago. Owner was very personable and answered all my questions without rush or hesitation. He also directed me to additional resources. Very good customer service and experience with this owner. Thank you. read more

I came in to replace a quartz watch for a gift I received a few years ago. The prices were fair and the woman in the shop was kind and I was able to come pick it up within the hour. A hidden gem in Annandale that people rarely notice! read more

Several years ago I needed my Rolex overhauled. I was quoted all kinds of outrageous numbers and then I asked my lady at Dominion Jewelers, Marsha. She told me this is the place you want to go. So I did. Cost was very reasonable. And I came away feeling like I found a great small business that honestly cares about their customers by doing honest and quality work, which is rare these days. Anyhow, Manu has worked on my Panerai and my latest two additions. Manu knows his watches and will be totally up front and not tell you that you need it, if you don't.... read more

Annandale Watch & Clock - Watches Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

I'm embarrassed to say that I've lived in Annandale for 30 years and I just today discovered this shop through Yelp. I needed a battery replaced in my watch, which they did quickly and for a fair price. It definitely beats running out to Tysons, which I've done before. I learned today that the shop has been in Annandale almost as long as I have. If I have future needs for watch repair or for a new watch, this is going to be my first choice. As an Annandale resident, I intend to support good local businesses. I'm sorry I didn't know about this shop in the past but I intend to correct that oversight in the future. read more

I had been searching for a replacement watch band for my old Timex and couldn't find it anywhere, even through an internet search. Through a search of watch stores, I learned about nearby Annandale Watch & Clock and decided to give them a try. Within a few minutes of walking in, the sales person went straight to a supply drawer and pulled out the exact right watch band I had wanted. Included in the price was removal of my old watch band and replacement with the new. If I could give more stars than 5 I would! read more

absolutely fantastic service. the folks here really know what they are talking about. they also have a really excellent selection of hard to find Seiko that will make a collector drool. super cool vintage pieces for sale in the case too, so pop buy regularly to see what they've got read more

They're very honest and do a wonderful job repairing, even very expensive watches. I've taken my Rolex to them, and been very satisfied with their services. Would highly recommend. read more

I found this place on Yelp and it was listed as the only watch shop in Annandale. It falls in the category of a quaint Korean mom and pop shop. A variety of watches and small jewelry adorn the inside of the small shop's interior. I brought my fiancé's Fossil watch here for a battery replacement and they promptly completed the job for $15.90 within 5-10 minutes. Tip: $8 minimum required for credit card usage. read more

The shop smells a lil dusty but the staff is friendly and very helpful. They have all types of clocks and jewelry and they work quickly to repair your items. $10 for battery replacement $15 to take out 3 links read more

Needed a battery for my watch and wanted to support local Annandale establishments. A friend had already taken the back off, so I had written down the battery size. I asked the women at the counter for the battery and she went in the back where the watch repair person (maybe owner was) and came back with the battery, which I purchased. When I asked if she could put the battery in the watch/close the backing she said "I don't know how to do that". The guy working in the back (again, maybe owner) just looked up briefly and resumed his work. I was flabbergasted!!!! Why call yourself a Watch & Clock shop if you can't even help a customer put a battery in their watch and close the back panel? As a follow up...ended up going to a watch shop in Vienna that immediately helped me without charge!!!!! read more

I've been a loyal customer of this great watch and clock shop for over 10 years. They are easily the best kept secret in Northern Virginia-- and Manu is the Master Certified technician who can fix, clean, and restore watches and clocks of virtually every kind. He and his wife have always been extremely gracious and informative with all of my inquiries and transactions. I've purchased quality watches there, had watches and clocks repaired, and had batteries restored countless times. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Got issues with clocks or watches? This is the place you want to be! D.W. read more

Went in today for a simple link removal on a new watch. They took my watch right away and after a few adjustments to the watch I was out of there in 10 minutes. Also have a really good selection of new and old watches. Will definitely be back again read more

I used Yelp to find a place nearby to resize a watch I was given for Christmas, and this is where I ended up going. I've lived in Annandale for quite some time and must admit I hadn't ever noticed this little Mom & Pop shop before. Once I walked in it didn't take very long for assistance to be provided. The gentleman let me know that the resizing would be quick and $10. He wasn't lying about being quick! I was in and out of the shop within about ten minutes, all while being on my lunch break. The gentleman was very kind, the price was great and all within a timely manner. For all my other watch repairs I had gone to a store in Tyson's Corner Mall, but since this shop is closer AND cheaper in price, I would most likely go back for any other watch repair needed. *This review is about a year over due read more

I took my 1976 Grandfather Wall Clock to Annandale Watch and Clock to see if they could revive it! All other companies I approached told me to "pitch it and buy a new one." Annandale fixed my clock within a week AND refused to charge me because what they found was so easy. How many companies do this??? Annandale Clocks is fast, friendly and honorable. I'm a client for life! read more

Hole in the wall shop with some old jewelry and watches. I recommend if you need any watch repairs or if you're looking for something unique. read more

Sensory overload was flooding when I first stepped foot into this Annandale spot. When I walked in to get a watch battery switched I was bombarded by clocks on the left and watches on the right that line the walls; these guys take time seriously. No fancy decor necessary, just lots of faces and hands. It took 5 minutes to stroll the 15 feet to the front counter as my eyes wandered. Some of the clocks for sale were hanging, but the more interesting types were standing with unique woodwork and design. I can't speak much to how affordable their prices are but I noticed name brands like Seth Thomas as well as more individually crafted ones. For watches, there were some very antique(y) watches that were vintage 40's and 50's, monocles. as well as a decent selection of contemporary styles. Also a very large kiosk of different watch bands. They switched my watch battery for $7.50- not bad. Great place for an odd find and eclectic taste, although it doesn't excel in your mainstream styles. read more

I needed the battery in my watch replaced. They did it quickly and for a very reasonable price. They were nice to me and to other patrons, one who was there shopping when I arrived and one who came in after me. In general, a place I will use in the future and recommend to others. read more

I needed to have some batteries put into some watches. You can't seem to open the watches and replace them yourself anymore. SO I went to Annandale Watch and Clock and they were so nice and only charged me $10 per watch. I highly recommend this business. read more

Not very friendly and the repair prices are very high. Went based on other reviews but left disappointed

Fast. Efficient. Nice folks. great quick work. They are very skilled with watches and repairs.

They did not want our business. Took an important piece of family history..a mantle clock..in for repair. Was told repair in an unfriendly way that it would take 6-8 months and cost..at minimum..$850. No clockmaker involved. Too bad. Unfriendly. Price is sky high. read more

I managed to call these guys at 6 PM just as Yelp said they were closed. They still answered the phone. AND they gave me substantial advice on an old grandfather clock over the phone for the next 20 minutes. They fixed some of my problems after hours and they never even tried to charge me. These guys are great. They even gave me a referral to a guy who does work they don't. I can hardly wait to bring these guys my business next time. read more

Took in my new Citizen watch to be sized. Fast, efficient work by competent and polite, if not overly friendly, folk. Looked at the watch selection as I'm also in the market for a dress watch, but found their options rather limited. Would have liked to see more brands represented. Too bad; I'd rather my money go to an independent shop like this than a big name store. read more

I have used this store a couple times now for watch repair and have always been very happy. They have replaced batteries, cleaned and fixed bands. Today, I took a watch in because the latch on the band kept popping open. The gentleman was able to do a minor repair and refused to charge me. He quoted me the cost of a new latch if this repair doesn't work long term. I appreciate the customer service, kindness, and information on additional repairs. I will continue to use this store and recommend it highly to others! read more
