I took my 25 year old Rolex watch in for service on a busy Saturday afternoon. The sales person who assisted me was very knowledgeable about what the service options and provided me with an accurate cost estimate. My watch was returned when promised and my watch looked brand new. Excellent/professional service, accurate cost estimate, outstanding outcome. Thank you! read more

Got a watch from Stacey N. She is the GOAT when it comes to luxury watches. Worked with her for over a year until finally picking out the perfect watch for me. Highly recommend her if you're in the market for something. She's very pleasant and doesn't put any pressure on you to buy. I believe she's been there over 20 years. read more

I was on vacation, and my Timex watch band broke. I tried fixing it myself, but I couldn't do it. I took it to Ben Bridge, and it took two of their employees several minutes to finally get the band back into the setting. When I asked how much they wanted for their time, they said no charge. I really appreciated their time and effort. read more

Damaged my Rolex during a simple strap change. Proceeded to gas light me to say that damage was already there and their process could not do this. Absolutely infuriating. read more

Bjorn lied, made promises he didn't fulfill and seemed like all he wanted was our money. I won't be back.

Brought in my watches for repair and they provided Amazing customer service at the Bell Sq location!

When I use to hear the name , "Ben Bridge", I use to think it was a gimmicky jeweler, with its commercials,ads for tv. But after going in to experience Ben Bridge and getting a watch my husband really wanted for Father's Day... I no longer think that. We were pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of ALL the staff. The store had just opened, not all employees had showed up yet, but not one time did I feel the stress that I am sure was being felt when you are short staffed. (We can all relate, no matter where you work) I felt very comfortable with taking my time and shopping, Mira did not falter from the amazing customer service, that I'm sure is expected from Ben Bridge. Also, knowing that there is a security officer, who was watching over the customers, employees and the store, in general, made it for a more pleasant experience. Mira was great! Very personable, a great delegator and very knowledgeable in the merchandise that we had questions about. Thank you again, Mira , you are amazing. I highly recommend you go to Ben Bridge for all of your jewelry needs (and wants). read more

Want to buy a Rolex watch? Don't go to Ben Bridge in BelSquare. They don't have one to sell you. Oh, they have some. They call them "display" models. They might as well have only photos of the models. What they do have is a snotty attitude toward customer service. There is something counter-intuitive about a retail business that projects a holier-than-thou attitude toward customers. This is not our first encounter with the less than satisfactory treatment at Ben Bridge. A few years ago, we took an expensive watch in for a battery. WE had purchased the watch from Ben Bridge. That simple service took an oddly long time to accomplish (more than a week) The store 'expert' scratched the back of the watch, thereby diminishing its value. Ben Bridge offered no apology. Why did we go back to the store? They promote Rolex watches on their website. We wanted one and this company is a long-time Seattle business, it made sense to go there. But posting images of a product and then not having that product is a kind of bait-and-switch technique. This cynical attitude has somehow kept them in business for a long time. read more

My partner and I were excited to go engagement ring shopping and Ben Bridge was at the top of our list. Well, it was a total buzzkill when after browsing for several minutes not one (of several available) staff members greeted us. We were turned off and left. It was a downer to what should have been a fun moment. We thought it may have been a fluke so we tried going to Ben Bridge U Village, but unfortunately the same thing happened. This location did appear short staffed but even after five or so minutes of browsing, not one staff member even said hello to us. We ended up going with Robbins Brothers in Bellevue. They greeted us from the moment we entered the door and were knowledgeable and mindful of the type of engagement ring we were looking for. We ended up purchasing both the engagement ring and wedding band from there. If we had received a simple greeting, it probably would have been Ben Bridge. read more

HORRIBLE customer service. We came in on a slow Friday night about an hour before closing and they had 2 employees helping one customer and then only one other employee who was occupied with another customer. No greeting or "we'll get to you soon" then one of those employees eventually freed up and ignored us to help a couple who just walked in because they were standing at the Rolex counter. Guess it didn't matter that we were also there to purchase an expensive watch because it wasn't a Rolex. read more

I went in to see what size my engagement ring was, because I forgot and I need to get a band soon. I asked the lady there and she immediately gave me attitude, like asking for my size was the worst thing I could do. She threw it on the sizer and told me the size. Then with the most passive aggressive smirk and tone she said, "Maybe you should put it in your phone" and practically threw it at me. Oh I apologize for taking 25 seconds out of her day for her to do her job? What an unnecessary attitude. I hope she gets paid commission and nobody buys from her read more

Don't give them your business. Extremely rude when they realize youre only dropping off a watch to be serviced rather than buy a new watch during that visit. Older white lady with blonde hair gets offended that I didn't look at her the whole time I asked my question, and was looking at another gentleman that walked up to help as well. Lol like seriously you want to throw a temper tantrum and walk away while I'm asking a question just because I look at another sales agent that walks up to us? What a load of conceited child antics, from a money hungry self centered old hag. Every Ben Bridge I've been to has rude employees like this that only act nice when they try to sell you on something. Buy direct and don't waste your time here, these sales agents don't deserve any commission. read more

I have been shopping at Ben Bridge Jeweler since 2000 and have purchased many, many pieces from this company. I have found their store to have a good section of jewelry pieces and fair pricing in today's market. I have worked with the Personal Jeweler Stacey who is very knowledgeable, and super friendly making my purchases to be a wonderful experience. If you are looking for a jeweler that works with you for years, Ben Bridge is the place to go. read more

Horrible, horrible, horrible customer service by employee Michelle over the phone on 2/14/23. Called to see about getting links added to hubby's current Rolex, and also inquired about the possible availability of a new Rolex Skydweller that has been on his wishlist for some time now. Michelle was incredibly rude, dismissive and condescending. Perhaps this branch doesn't need our business, and good on them for employing Michelle to ward off those pesky customers. Hubby has several Rolexes, but rest assured, the next one will absolutely not be purchased at Bellevue Square Ben Bridge. Thanks Michelle, for ensuring we steer clear of you and your store. read more

Conor has taken good care of me. If you want to buy a watch, ask for him. He's knowledgeable and won't bullshit you.

We didn't make any appointment and were able to work promptly with Brandon. He informed us of the lifetime warranty for the ring and the prices for engravings. The tungsten with black sapphires band offered a sleek yet classy look. We had previously perused their website and has an inkling of what would work best for my husband. Luckily the ring was already a great fit, and we were out in a breeze. Ben Bridge has some classy selections, I've known family members who've had wonderful experience with this company as well. read more

Lady was rude. I was visiting my buddy in Seattle and we were apparently looking at watches near closing time. We were helped by 2 nice gentleman last Monday night Jan 8th, 2024. Both of us have growing watch collections. This past year alone between the 2 of us we have added 2 Rolex's, 3 Tudor's and a Panerai to our collection. This lady didn't greet us nor helped us but decided to abruptly interrupt us while we were trying on a watch to tell us that we had to leave because they were closing. She said it loud abruptly, while walking towards the door, as if she was shoeing us away. 100 ways she could have said it. How about whisper to your coworker that was helping us or give him a nod to remind him to let us know that you guys have to close so that he can politely let us know. How about approaching us with a politely asking us if it would be ok to schedule a time for us to return tomorrow as unfortunately you have to close. It's unprofessional to interrupt and raise your voice while herding us out like a cattle. In customer service it's not what you say it's how you say it. You should know better. We are both in sales and do very well. I'd like to think that part of our success comes from excellent customer service and treating clients with respect. Biggest mistake is to prejudge. Maybe she didn't care because she wasn't getting the commission since she wasn't the one helping us or maybe she didn't know that we had the means to purchase anything we wanted in the store. Maybe she was tired and just wanted to go home. Doesn't really matter what her reasoning was. Not a good look for Ben Bridge. Always be classy have pride in your profession. read more

Review in the Time of Covid: Masks are off and malls are full, but it seems staffing is still hard to come by. I came in to Ben Bridge with a very nice watch I was given as a gift by my watch-nerd spouse. Since Ben Bridge is the place for fine watches and delicate work, I decided to come in there. There was no one at the watch counter, or even in the near vicinity, and people were fairly busy. Maybe my first mistake was dressing casual. Maybe it was my well-mannered, but obvious children with me. It wasn't until an older, white gentleman came up to the counter that anyone bothered to come over, and immediately they took interest in him. I decided to take my watch box out, and finally someone talked to me. The response was curt. I said, "I would like to have the watch bracelet resized," and I got a response of, "You'll have to leave it because the person to do that won't be here til 5," I said, politely and with gratitude, "Thanks, I don't think I'll be able to wait," and she bolted off turning away with a heavily punctuated, "Have a nice day," in what felt like a sarcastic tone. The next day, after calling ahead, I went to Ben Bridge in U Village and experienced exceptional service and attention. It was quite the juxtaposition. read more

I had a great experience working with Polly. It was my first time shopping for a diamond, and she was very helpful in teaching me all of the details regarding diamond selection and pricing. She was very friendly, open, and transparent throughout the selling process. Thank you Polly! read more

Unfortunately, I had a not-so-pleasant customer service experience today. I went in to get my wife and my rings cleaned. The first rep I walked up to walked straight passed me and said she was busy and she'd get back to me. ok...so I wait...after realizing she just kept moving to new customers, I asked a second rep...same reaction: told me she was busy and helping someone else. Next thing you know, I see her helping someone who just walked in. So I decide, you know what, I'm just going to sit in one of these chairs and I'm going to see how far they go in trying to pass us over before I act outside myself. More time goes by and my wife starts to notice I'm getting more frustrated. Then, a rep by the name of Anthony looked over the counter and asked if he could help. He was very cordial, got our rings cleaned, and then helped us check our ring sizes and take a look at some of the other rings. This place needs to hire more Anthonys and probably do some retraining with the others. Overall, this place is a one-star but gets a second star because of Anthony. read more

Elizabeth Horcher is the most kind-hearted and warm, genuinely caring person, and she just happens to have exquisite taste in diamonds! My husband took me to Tiffany & Co., Blue Nile and Ben Bridge. Because of Elizabeth's excellent customer service, the choice was obvious! We chose to purchase both my engagement and wedding rings from Ben Bridge! I'm still in awe of my rings every time I look at them. read more

Ice cold sales people. Not friendly sales staff at all. This Ben Bridge in Bellevue is the one to avoid. Try other locations to get better assistance. read more

I Highly recommend avoiding this location. This store is poorly run and they will rip you off. If you have to go to Ben Bridge, the Seattle location is amazing but for Bellevue Square, they need new leadership. I have been a loyal customer purchasing (4) Rolex watches, my wedding bands, lots of diamonds, and more recently, 2.0CT Diamond earrings. I have always loved Ben Bridge in multiple states until I came to Washington. Normally, I do not like to complain, because I know the economic climate is tough so I understand that staffing can be challenging, My concern is that my wife lost one of her earrings so I went to the Ben Bridge in Bellevue to help me identify and replace the stone at my expense. The Jeweler made me feel like a crook and refused to give me a copy of the receipt, which was from 2015, which at this moment, I still don't understand why. To release my earring that I gave her, I needed to sign a notebook and a separate document and all I wanted was help replacing the lost earring. This associate made me feel like a crook, which upset me...I will never frequent this location again because of the Manager and this employee, who just don't care. I had to go to Blue Nile in the mall, who worked with me to order one diamond which I paid for and felt good. about the purchase. Just look at these reviews before deciding on a major purchase here read more

I visited this location pre-covid to check out a watch. It was going to be my first time trying on this particular watch and I made it very clear to the salesperson that I just wanted to try it on and that I was NOT buying anything that day. I wasn't going to spend several thousands on something I wasn't sure about after just trying it on one time. The salesperson was relentless! She kept saying I should just buy it then and there. And when I didn't budge, she said to my DH who was shopping with me that he should just buy me the watch now. Oh please! As if everything were up to him?? What is this, 1955? If I wanted it at that moment I would have purchased it. I was so turned off by her that I did not want to return to this location when I did decide to purchase the watch. read more

Since I was a very young adult I have gone to Ben Bridge Jewelers. The quality the professionalism is stellar. When I worked at Washington Athletic I got the privelage of waiting on top names of Seattle one being the original Ben Bridges. They were warm and kind to all who served them. I now go to Ben Bridge In the U village. With Covid and more so much service has gone out the door. Not at Ben Bridge.I was going to redesign my rings and they encouraged me to enjoy them as is...they cleaned them like new and apraised them with timely manner. Its appreciated. read more

Non professional behaviour by sales person at Tacoma. Before buying a watch and after, totally different behavior

Picked up this beautiful Datejust jubilee blue dial a few weeks ago and can't get enough of how beautiful this piece is.

You won't regret working with him. read more

I went in today with my friend to get sized for an engagement ring and to browse the options. We were greeted kindly by the sales associate, and sat down with her. I give any stars at all because the we told her what we were looking for and showed her some inspiration photos and she showed us some amazing rings that were exactly what I was looking for. I was shocked however by the judgement and underlying racism that went on through our short visit there. She made several comments about how both of us looked too young to be mothers (we're in our mid 20s) and then when we told us our age she said "oh my you are too young!" Furthermore I had shown her a picture of my daughter which she praised how pretty she was, then followed with the question "is she mixed with something?" (My daughter is bi racial, I'm Hispanic and her dad is African American) Then saw a picture of my boyfriend, and said "wow you guys have been together a long time if your daughter is almost 5" and when I corrected her and said that her dad was not my boyfriend she awkwardly said , "oh , well she looks like she could be his" ... (my boyfriend is African American) All and all we won't be getting any jewelry there. Uncomfortable experience. read more

I'm a mall employees so I was so excited when I saw that Benbridge offered jewelry cleaning even if you haven't bought a piece of jewelry from them. When I walked in the front desk person completely blew me off when I asked for my rings to be cleaned. their website clearly says they offer jewelry cleaning to anyone so I was so excited to have my wedding ring cleaned. the girl at the desk did the most half assed job and left all of my rings still dirty and the diamond popped out of my wedding ring and she brought me the ring without a stone in it. I saw the place where a stone was missing immediately and panicked and asked her where the stone was. she continued to berate me and question if the diamond was even real. I was humiliated and mortified and left feeling so low. literally will never recommend this place to any of my friends getting engaged and married this year. The worst customer service I've witnessed in a very long time read more

the selection of watches is good, brands included Cartier, Hamilton, Longines, Tissot...some very neat Rolex display pieces but obviously nothing for sale there as usual. My friend and I were ignored for most of of the time in the store and when we were finally helped, the salesperson was more than a bit condescending. As a genuine watch hobbyist that's been looking for a Santos (which they had), I wouldn't even ask them to resize a watch band. read more

I'm surprised by these negative reviews. Me and my fiancé have had nothing but great experiences here. We have been into several other jewelry stores but this location is my favorite. it can get pretty busy on the weekends but that's to be expected being located inside a mall, the employees do a great job with trying to give customers adequate attention and help however they can. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. We have developed a relationship with Mark, he's great. He sets realistic expectations for wait times on hard to get watches( mostly Rolex) he doesn't promise anything he knows he can't get but also tries his best to get pieces we want. My fiancé just bought me a custom tennis bracelet from here and it's absolutely stunning! If you're in the market for jewelry or watches you should definitely pop in here and look around. read more
