BREITLING EMERGENCY WATCH BATTERY CHANGE "YELP REVIEW"

In January 2026 I went to the Breitling Boutique store at 10250 Santa Monica Blvd.#1365, Los Angeles, CA 90069 to find out what was wrong with my Breitling Emergency Watch that I had purchased three years earlier.
While I understand that the Breitling Emergency Watch is a specialized instrument requiring more involved servicing than a standard watch, this does not justify unclear pricing practices or the addition of unnecessary services.
Upon entering the store, I was greeted by somewhat sketchy employees that were more than willing to help and sell me some services I did not need. I showed them my Breitling Emergency Watch, they quickly checked over the watch and advised that I needed to have the battery changed. They told me it would be somewhere around $500 to change the battery, which absolutely astounded me.
When the invoice came in it was $940.50. It would've been much more if I had not carefully gone over the repair order and crossed off all the superfluous and unnecessary things that they wanted to do. I advised them that I had only worn the watch four or five times in the last three years, and it didn't need polishing or a new crystal etc. etc.
Now this is an absolute category one ripoff, $940 to change the battery, especially when the verbal estimate was $500.
Don't, ever, ever, purchase a Breitling Emergency Watch unless you want to be ripped off every four years for a new battery. Find something else to waste your money on.

I would rate this a ZERO if able to!! read more
