I have purchased a number of watches in a variety of price ranges as well as having a number of cleaning/ repair services done on complicated time pieces on every occasion I have been treated with respect, with patients an understanding. Morris, Victor and Michael have always been very professional. The repairs have stood up very well on a very high-end piece, the turnaround time has been excellent. I have recommended Joseph Edwards to a number of friends and coworkers. They have come away with the same impression that I have. That is how I know they are the real deal because they are true professionals 100% of the time. Thanks guys will visit soon and thanks as always read more

Morris and Michael are courteous, knowledgeable, and no BS when it comes to selling watches. Morris took the time to walk me through all the functionalities of my new watch, and made sure I knew what to do and what not to do to ensure the longevity of the watch. I'll be coming back again for any future buys. I also won't forget Morris' biggest piece of advice which was, "wear the watch". read more

Joseph Edwards - Hamilton Intra-matic chrono auto - Watches Near Me - New York, New York

I just bought a nice automatic watch here. They have a good selection of Seiko and Tissot dress watches. The salesman I spoke to, Mike, was very helpful and sizing the watch to my wrist, and giving me instructions on how to wind it. He gave me information about my warranty and maintenance tips. I'm very happy with my purchase. read more

Joseph Edwards - Watches Near Me - New York, New York

Professional and courteous service. Michael, especially, goes over and beyond in providing information. Example, regarding my Victorinox watch-strap replacement, he suggested I purchase directly from company, rather than through him, thus saving me money. Then he would only change to change strap. In addition, he suggested I purchase more than 1 strap as my watch model is discontinued and may not find similar watch straps in the future. EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!!! Thanks you Michael! read more

Great place, quick service and they're open at this pandemic time. I just had my TAG Link battery changed, pressurized and cleaned, same day, reasonably priced, couldn't ask for better. read more

Joseph Edwards - Watches Near Me - New York, New York

This watch store was recommended by the Seiko Boutique in NYC when I called them looking for Seiko JDM models. I contacted them first through their website and they were quick to respond to messages left through their site. I then called and spoke to Michael (for quite while) and he walked me through all of their inventory that he thought I would be interested in. Suffice it to say that they had many different models to choose from in my area of interest. I told them I was looking for a very nice Seiko for my 60th birthday. My wife and I then went there so I could try on some of the watches as Michael recommended. I can't recommend this store highly enough. Both Michael and Morris were knowledgeable, patient and most of all helpful. They are also genuinely nice people and treated us very well. I ended up buying a very nice watch at a VERY fair price. I should also add that this store sells a very nice variety of upscale brand with a variety to satisfy and watch geek or someone just looking for a nice watch. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and VERY easy to get to in the heart of NYC. read more

Came in for a battery change on few watches and they made it so easy. Honest, fantastic service, and very reasonable pricing. Can't argue with that combination! read more

I just purchased a new Seiko Presage sharp edge GMT SPB217 with the indigo blue dial, from Joseph Edwards. They are the only dealer I could find in the New York area that actually stocks this little gem behind the counter; otherwise you have to buy it online. Evidently, this is driven by Seiko's in-house 28.8 kHz 29 jewel 6R64 movement. From what I read it has a modest +25/-15 second per day accuracy rating. All I know is I have worn this watch now continuously for 10 days and it has gained 6-7 seconds over the 10 days! That certainly surpasses COSC quality. The indigo blue hemp-leaf-patterned dial is certainly "the belle of the ball" which seems to dance in different lighting. The GMT hand and bottom half of the chapter ring are a beautiful salmon color which is a perfect contrast with the blue dial and bezel. While this watch would be considered a bit on the larger size by most, weighing in at just over 42 mm with a 49 mm lug-lug and a 13.7MM case height. However, the lugs are curved and with the "Seiko Magic" it looks great on my 7 1/4" wrist. This is also one of those time pieces that can look great with a T-shirt and pair of jeans as well as under a cuff with a business suit. One of the things that makes this watch unique as a GMT, is that it is a true Traveller's GMT. Meaning, that when you fly from New York to London, you simply pull the crown out by one click, and move the hour hand ahead 5 hours, while the GMT hands stays on NY time. The GMT hand is fixed and so is the bezel. You usually need to spend a minimum of $5000 to get this type of movement in a Swiss watch (e.g. Tudor or Rolex). Seiko Sharp edge GMT has an MSRP of $1,400. While $1,400 is certainly not cheap, it is a bargain for a "Traveller GMT movement." Similarly priced Swiss GMT watches usually employ a robust ETA or Sellita movement where the crown only adjusts the GMT hand. Don't get me wrong, these ETA and Sellita-based watches can also be great watches and these movements are tried and true. The off-the-shelf Swiss movements also have the advantage in the fact that any good watchmaker can repair them. However, if you are a watch geek, this beautiful Seiko sharp edge GMT line of watches are really something special, especially at this price point. The dial and bezel are dazzling and the finishing on the case, while not hand-polished like the Grand Seiko, is really quite elegant. Also as this is part of their Presage line, they have really upped their game on the bracelet. To be fair, I do have two complaints: First, there only 2 micro-adjust settings on the clasp. Second, while the watch does claim 100m water resistance, there is no screwdown crown. Common guys, what were you thinking!? If I travel to a hotel that has a pool, I am certainly not going to want to leave my watch sitting on the chair. Even if it is water resistant, I personally would never bring a watch without a screw down crown into the pool. If there was one more micro adjust and a screw-down crown, I would call this the perfect one-watch collection! Regardless, I am still really enjoying it and if you are a watch geek, I would certainly look at this little gem. And of course, Joseph Edwards, IMHO, is the perfect boutique dealer. I bought my first watch from them more than 30 years ago! They always seem to have that awesome "the customer is always right" attitude. Small shop on 5th Avenue stuffed with inventory and other great brands as well. read more

Regarding watches, a more knowledgeable person than Morris you will not find. Once on the market for a new watch, I did my homework and narrowed down the selection to the top 5 with a specific favorite in mind before I started going to brick and mortar stores to make the pick. Though Joseph Edwards did not have the favorite watch I wanted to see, after talking about the design, movements, and value of all the brands I was interested in, for over an hour, I settled on my second favorite which was half the price of the favorite. This decision was completely condoned and supported by Morris. He had the opportunity to upsell me as I was looking at other brands pricier than my favorite, but instead gave me his honest opinion securing a customer for life. On top of that, the prices are competitive and customer service is excellent. It turned out my new watch was a dud as the chronograph would not reset to zero. After apologizing and trying to repair it once, he ordered a new watch straight from the manufacturer and offered to ship it to me for free as I wasn't sure when I would next be in the area. My new watch is now perfect and I couldn't be happier with it or with the entire staff who are all very friendly to boot. Thanks Joseph Edwards! read more

Great service and friendly people. I have recently brought in a Cartier watch for battery replacement and it was a quick turnaround. They also have a decent collection of luxury watches if you're in the market for a new watch. It's a small shop but I'd say their service is a lot better compare to other local watch stores I've been to. read more

Recently got my watch repaired by the folks at Joseph Edwards - I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. First, they ended up being more than 50% less expensive the the average quote I received from a bunch of competitors I visited in the midtown area. Second, they were able to clearly and reasonably explain to all of the costs and timing requirements with a level of transparency that was far greater than the other watch repair shops I visited. Also, and this is hard to explain in words, but they just seemed much more trustworthy and less "sales-y" than the other repair shops. Take that for what it's worth, but I definitely left with a sense that I got honest work done for a reasonable price. Really great work overall. read more

Very nice friendly and knowledgeable staff. Mr. MJEdwards is a professional and expert watchperson with very fair repair prices. He seems very honest and ethical. read more

Fast and courteous service. I come here for every watch repair, which is often, and they almost never charge for quick fixes. I have purchased bands here that have lasted, and will continue to. They have a customer for life read more

Fast and courteous service in a family run business. I purchased my Phillip Stein watch band here and they've provided great service - they also have a nice selection of Phillip Stein ladies watches. read more

Was only in NY for a couple of days and brought my Philip Stein watch with missing pins (2 had come out). They not only fixed it but were able to get it back in under 2 hours. It's nice to have a trusted authorized repair center that is friendly and great service! Thanks! read more

Superb customer service and integrity, and more interested in helping customers and being honest than making a quick buck at someone's expense. Highly recommended. read more

I don't know about some of the other reviews, but my experience at Joseph Edwards has been nothing but the best. The staff there is very friendly, and despite not knowing what I was looking for, the saleswomen were very attentive to my requests of my idea of a "perfect watch." I walked out of there with a Philip Stein and a discount :). They also have an experienced watchmaker on the premises that polished my old and beat up watch to perfection! Overall very satisfied! read more

Pricey for a band adjustment ($25 + tax) for my Michele watch. For something simple, I would recommend going elsewhere. Went to another place for a battery replacement and they told me they would have charged $10 to remove links from the same watch. Otherwise, they seemed knowledgable, had a nice selection of watches and seemed competitive with their merchandise pricing. read more

I brought my Movado here to have some links removed in late November. Only four months later, my watch fell off my wrist and had I not heard it hit the ground, it would have been lost forever. I returned to the store and explained the situation. Rather than being apologetic for the fact that I nearly lost my watch due to their faulty work, I was told that I would have to produce a receipt for the original service otherwise I will be charged for the repair. Take my advice and go next door! read more

Great watch store. The people working in there are super friendly and helped me out so much to find my perfect watch. It's a cute store with great goods. read more

Joseph Edwards is a great store with courteous and knowledgeable staff. I bought a watch recently only to find they would offer me a much better price so I returned it to my original place of purchase and bought it at Joseph Edwards to get the full warranty and personal service. After not being able to figure out some of the atomic radio settings I brought the watch back and both Victor and Morris spent all the time required to get it working 100% to my satisfaction. Victor even brought it home with him one night to let the Atomic radio reset. Class act and I would definitely do business with them again. read more

Had batteries replaced in my designer watch several times here. A premium price for batteries that don't last very long (less than a year). As a side note, if you call when they are closed (weekends), there is no message machine saying when they are open. I went there anyway since the hours listed here on yelp says they are open. Big disappointment to find they were closed. Time to look elsewhere. read more

Awesome experience purchasing a watch for my boyfriend at Joseph Edwards. I knew very little about watches and the people here were so patient, friendly and helpful. Everyone was clearly very knowledgeable and gave me honest advice and assistance. I am incredibly happy with my purchase (as is my boyfriend) and very thankful I came here! read more

Let me tell you all, I've bought watches around the world, in London, Paris, etc. I've found the experience at Joseph Edwards by far the best. They are courteous, friendly, and EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the watch industry. And they also offer the best prices in the city. Victor, the watchmaker and store owner, has fixed several watches for me, I've had horrible experiences with "butcher" watchmakers who make the problem worse than before. After going to Joseph Edwards though, I wouldn't trust anyone else to touch my watches. Victor has been in business for over 35 years and knows everything about watches. Highly recommend this store for anyone with watch issues or anyone who wants brand new watches at good market prices. read more

On a recent trip to NY my husband and I walked into Joseph Edwards Jewelers on 5th Avenue. Morris greeted us and when we said we were not looking for anything particular, he did not give us the dismissal that many shopkeepers would if they don't think you are a serious buyer. He had many beautiful watches and was extremely knowledgable about their style , function, and quality. My husband has been wanting to buy me a new watch, but would normally not walk into a store where he does not know the owner and purchase fine jewelry. By the time Morris was finished presenting watches that he thought I would like, with absolutely no pressure to purchase, I chose one that was my favorite. We said we would think about it as we would be in town for a few days. We did in fact purchase the watch and are very pleased both with our choice, and with the way we were treated at Joseph Edwards Jewelers. We would definitely return for future purchases and feel confident in the honesty and integrity of this merchant. read more

I was directed to Joseph Edwards as it was listed as an authorized repair center for my wife's Philip Stein watch. We entered the shop as skeptics and left as life long customers. Morris took a considerable amount of time speaking to us and educating us. His explanations were excellent and left us feeling confident with him and his staff. I will only get a watch repaired here in the future and will definitely return to purchase my next watch. read more

Had two philip stein batteries replaced, excellent people at the store! Very friendly and helpful! Am from CA but will definitely get it replace here next time it needs it! These people are nicer then the folks i had to deal with back home! read more

Thought I was getting a deal on a nice Movado I'd been dying for. Talked to the guy on the phone for a while and told me all about the warranty and this and that. Turns out I got a deal because it was fake. Hundreds down the drain. They will lie right to your face, make the sale, and turn around and laugh all the way to the bank. Thanks a lot dickbags! If you work there and read this, feel free to contact me for a more in depth review of my thoughts on your business. read more
