Last week Fashion Time managed to go to the top of my short list of places not to sponsor.
I came in to replace the battery on my wife's watch as well as two of my watches. To start, they wanted to charge me double for one of my watches just because it was a Tissot, and the "technician" claimed that only her manager could do that watch, and I would have to leave the watch there for two days until he came back (no thanks; the watch repair kiosk down the hall did it in 10 min for a of what Fashion Time was charging).
Since they seemed to charge more reasonable prices for the other two watches I agreed to have them done there. Well, the technician broke one of the screws on the back of the case of my watch while trying to open it. She claimed that it wasn't her fault, and that I probably messed with the watch before. When I asked what could we do to resolve the situation she recommended that I take the watch to the manufacturer for repair, or try not to wear it around water.
I asked her to replace the broken screw, but she couldn't remove the broken part of the screw still inside the case. I asked her then to close it, that I would take it somewhere else, so she did, after complaining how hard was to put those tiny screws back in. (They even lack some basic equipment such as magnifying glasses.) Of course, to add insult to injury she charged me for replacing the battery!
After I got home I discovered another little surprise this so called technician left for me: one of the other caseback screws was stripped! When I called the next day to see what resolution we could have she said if I stopped by she would give me a replacement screw for free. How generous! Now I'm going to find a competent watch repair shop who could fix the damage the inept people at Fashion Time did to my watch.
If you look for professional and customer service, look elsewhere. Fashion Time is not the place for you. read more
