Great spot to get watches repaired. I can't speak to more complex asks, as the 2 watches I brought in simply needed battery replacements. I came in just before they close for lunch at 12:30 pm and was asked to come back at 1 pm when they re-open. When I came back just after 1 pm, there were a few other customers, so I had to wait 10 minutes or so, but the actual process of my watches being fixed was very quick and was only $10 total. Service was also very friendly. I would definitely come back for any watch repair needs. They currently have a notice on their door that they are closed on Thanksgiving and Black Friday this year. read more

Excellent service. I've had work done here (battery replacement, repairs) and I am always pleased by the efficient, affordable and professional care. read more

I really try not to give out a lot of five stars, so take that into consideration. I had three watch bands to be adjusted/replaced and the gentleman manning the store at the time was able to accommodate me with a quickness. Very friendly and for $40 (parts needed to be replaced) a bargain at twice the price. Not Barton & Chase's fault, but parking is a disaster around there. Find a loading zone, and you'll probably be in and out before your time runs out. read more

Barton & Chase - Fixed my Timex Ironman - Watch Repair Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I did not end up using them for service. They were responsive but that was just to tell me to call. So I did. The lady was very gruff and told me I had to come in because she had "no idea " if they could replace clock chimes in my antique wall clock. I took a pass because of her demeanor. Not a great first impression. read more

Fantastic service! I had a nice Movado watch, on which the second hand had come off, and it prevented the minute hand from rotating, so the watch wouldn't work. The owner only charged me $20 to repair the watch, which I thought was a steal. And I needed a new battery for another watch, and he only charged $5 to purchase and install it -- and at other places, I've paid $10 for a new battery. More recently, I needed some links removed from a metal watch band so it would fit better. Again, I paid less than I expected to, and he did it while I waited, so I didn't have to leave the watch and come back for it. For any watch repair needs you might have, I don't think you could do any better than this place! read more

Folks, I don't give out a lot of 5, stars, that's only for those as good as it gets. Barton and Chase is 5 stars all the way. Replaced three Bulova batteries with a quickness, reset all the watches to exact time and date, what all for $5 a piece. What more could you ask for? Note: COVID lock down 2.0: Must mask and one customer at a time. read more

Went in there to get a watch fixed that was my grandfather's. Old school service, knowledgeable with fair prices.

I was very impressed with the amazing service that was provided! A+ customer service educating me about my Watch and only $5 to resize the watch. Would highly recommend. read more

Aye, so I needed my diamond watch refitted, long story short they were fast and not expensive at all!

Went here after reading good reviews, however left quite disappointed. Needed my watch band adjusted and the lady at the front said the watch repair person was on the phone all day and not available. Acted like I was bothering her. Never saw a business actively turn away work, but won't be going here again. Really just a strange experience. read more

"We don't cock around here." This sentence was repeated often and with great humor to men and women alike during my brief but entertaining visit to Barton & Chase. Before swinging by, I gave a quick call just to make sure the place was open, would replace watch batteries, and could do one-stop service. When all requirements were met ("happily" was the exact response) I headed on over. You would never even know what type of business this is from the street. Stepping in was like walking back in time a little bit. The owner told me they have been in the same space for 35 years and by the looks of all the boxes and old school filing cabinets, that much was evident. No watch was too tricky for this craftsman; I got the feeling he likes a challenge anyway. All four watches were quickly replaced with new batteries at the extremely reasonable price of $20. And they take credit cards. Never thought I'd have a go-to watch repair place but now I do. read more

I needed to get my watch battery replaced but there are not many reviews / information on watch repair / battery replacement shops. So I departed into the wild wild west of jeweler's row, hoping that I would stumble into a decent shop who wouldn't rip me off to replace my measly watch battery. Lucky for me I stumbled upon Barton & Chase. They are a wholesale provider for various parts & gadgets for watches & clocks but they also offer repair service. At $5 flat for the battery replacement. It was fast, reliable and cheap with friendly knowledgeable service. read more

I haven't worn my Burberry watch in months because I just couldn't bring myself to pay the $60 that the places in the mall were telling me that a new battery would cost. Thank goodness I waited... I looked on Yelp and this place came highly recommended. They fixed it in 5 minutes...for $5!! I was ecstatic. The shop is a little hard to spot on Walnut, but it's definitely worth seeking out. I'll be taking all of my watches there from now on. read more

I took my treasured wall clock to be repaired and it couldn't have been a more pleasant experience !

Ken of Barton and Chase at 731 Walnut Street is a quiet, extremely competent, patient craftsman. I had been told by a local jeweler that my John Wanamaker watch, worn by and given to me by my Dad, could not be repaired. Finding Barton and Chase online sent me to Ken and within fifteen or twenty minutes I had my watch back on my wrist. I could not be more grateful for this prompt professional service! read more
