This is the best place around to take your watches for any reason. This place is family owned and operated for a very long time now and all the guys there are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Half the time I can't get them to take my money for a band adjustment. I would recommend this place to anyone needing watch care or upgrades. read more

Replace your watch battery for $5 in less than three minutes? It seems impossible, but it's true here. We've brought in expensive and casual watches. They are all $5. read more

Really kind people and excellent service. Changed my watch battery for me in less than five minutes. If you live in the Cardiff or Encinitas area, I would highly recommend going to Timekeepers for all of your watch and clock repairs. Also they have an awesome collection of vintage watches and clocks! read more

If you don't go here for watch issues then you don't know what you're doing. Everything good in this world is represented through these guys. read more

Recently got our watch batteries replaced here. Excellent service, good price, and friendly people.

The BEST watch repair place ever. I will NEVER go anywhere else. Thank God for people like this!

Fast friendly and professional. There was a short wait, but I handed the gentleman my watch and he replaced the battery on the spot! $5 cash, no plastic. read more

They are great. Fixed one watch band and replaced batteries in several watched for $10!

Only word I could use to describe this place is "fantastic". I can't say enough about how pleasing my first, and definitely not last, experience was here. I have already started recommending my friends and family to come to Timekeepers for any watch modifications or repairs. I live 35 mins away from here, but I will still keep coming here regardless of the drive. Keep doing what you're doing Timekeepers! Thank you! read more

I am so impressed with the service at Timekeepers. They got my clock up and running, went above and beyond and charged a very fair price. This kind of service feels like a thing of the past. HIGHLY recommend! read more

This is what small business in America is all about. You cannot outdo the service you receive here. I have taken my watches/clocks here 3 times over the past several years and I have yet to pay anything. Each time the repairs were as simple as tightening the mechanism and they refused payment. I hope this shop stays open with the support of the local community for years to come. read more

From watch battery replacement to working on high end watches they seem to do it All. Amazing fast service and don't be surprised if they don't charge you! These two owners are the best at there craft and we are lucky to have them in our city. If you have a watch or a vintage clock there is only one place to go and is worth the drive no matter where you are! Thank you Timekeepers for you outstanding service! read more

I have been going to TImekeepers for your years for watch battery and repair. Marion the owner is beyond helpful and kind!

I agree with all of the positive reviews. I needed a battery replaced in my dress watch... $5, quick and easy. I will definitely return, and will refer my friends. read more

Top-notch! My husband received a nice watch as a gift and attempted to resize it himself. One hour and a broken link later, he decided it was probably a good idea to have it done by a professional instead. I took the watch in to Timekeepers and they sized and fixed it within a minute. The gentleman behind the counter handed it back to me and said "have a nice day." I asked how much I owed and he refused to let me pay anything. They have my business moving forward and I couldn't recommend them enough! read more

When I came by here for the first time a couple of days ago, I was almost deterred because there was quite a line in there and I had work in about 25 minutes. 10 minutes was enough to get through 5 customers! All I needed was to pierce an additional notch in my band, which was done free of charge! Seriously, don't hesitate to come here. Mario works quickly, which gives him time to show off his sense of humor. read more

I went in for a new keeper and battery for a watch. This place was great. It took 10 minutes and only cost a few bucks. I couldn't have asked for anything more. read more

I'm not familiar with the Encinitas area, so I used yelp to find a watch repair place. Found Time Keepers. Very friendly and quick service! I will be returning here for all my time needs! read more

$5 watch batteries, replaced while you wait. Even with a line, the 2 gentleman work fast. While you wait, there are dozens of different clocks to look at. It is like a mini-museum. All kinds of clocks from coo-coo to grandfather to Charlie Chaplain shaking his hips, there is always a clock I have never seen before. So whether it be a watch battery or an antique, this place has you covered. I can't imagine a clock they couldn't fix. They only accept CASH or CHECK and are closed from 3 on Saturday to Tuesday morning at 9. TU-FRI 9-5 and Sat-10-3. I have gone several times forgetting their schedule, but it is worth the drive back when they are open. read more

I wish there were more businesses like Timekeepers. I have been going here for years to get my watch batteries replaced. You can park right in front, walk in and be done in five minutes. One time I didn't have any cash and he told me just come back later! He adjusted my new watchband today even though at first glance he didn't think he had the right tools. He charged me nothing! I don't know how they stay in business, but I'm glad they do. read more

I have been going here for years ever since I bought a fake rolex from mexico that had the same special back that a real rolex had making it imposible to get a new battery just anywhere. Nice guy, replaces your battery in about 10 seconds for $5. He also has a nice selection of some unique antique watches and clocks. I love to go in there and just look around. read more

Went to have a watch sized. They adjusted it several times to get the right fit and charged me NOTHING. Good, old fashioned businessmen. Definitely recommend them. read more

Reliable. Fast. Inexpensive. Consistent. Add a healthy dose of humor. Now you understand why everyone loves these guys.

Best service I have had anywhere in a very long time. Outstanding. Explained why my watch broke, fixed it on the spot and charged a lot less than I was expecting!!!!! Awesome. read more

If more shop owners were like them, the world will be a better place. They are like your favorite grandfather or uncle...very giving. They won't charge for simple fixes and has even let people who don't have change to just come back another day to pay them. In this digital age and people in a rush it is so reassuring that there are real people who are decent and kind. read more

The absolutely best place to go for anything that keeps time! This place is a goldmine and absolute time machine! I stopped in to have two batteries changed on two of my many watches and was blown away at the price. On top of it they do not take credit cards and I didn't have any checks or money. No problem just send a check in the mail they said. Unheard of these days. I felt like I stepped back in time "no pun intended" when I walked through their doors. Of course I went straight to the bank and back. I will be telling all of my friends and family about this place! The people and the store are amazing! read more

As good as it gets - quick service, excellent work and very reasonable prices - it just doesn't get any better than that.

A lovely neighborhood business and organization. They fixed my vintage and precious watch with care and concern as if it were one of their personal pieces. Refreshing to have honest and excellent service in our backyard. Thank you! read more

I love this place! First of all, it's absolutely magical with all the antique clocks and watches. You don't feel like you're in suburbia when you're in their show. Second of all, the people are friendly, fun and efficient. read more

Very professional and extremely reasonable prices. I have taken my watches in here for battery replacements (only $5!) as well as a clock from switzerland for repair. I actually moved out of Encinitas but still come back here to have work done based on the quality of work as well as the price. read more

Just read the reviews. We have all had the same great service and experience! Unbelievable... I wish there were more businesses like this one. Thanks TimeKeepers!!! read more

Based on other 5 start reviews, I brought 4 time pieces to Timekeepers - a wristwatch with missing crown, wristwatch with links that needed to be removed, and two non-working pocket watches. Within 5 minutes, they took links out of 1 wristwatch, told me 2nd wristwatch with missing crown wasn't worth repairing, installed new battery on one pocket watch, and diagnosed broken spring and damaged mechanism on 2nd pocket watch (price was $200 to repair and they recommended I keep it as an non-working keepsake). Total cost - $5 Too bad yelp doesn't allow you to give more than 5 stars, they are so deserving of their stellar reputation. read more

these guys are very honest and do an absolutely great job. I have been going to them for years and always friendly and great deals on batteries. read more

These guys are amazing and so very nice to work with! We have a LOT of clocks - mostly antiques and I've had them worked on by various places over the years. These guys are the best by far; very fair, do fast work and are extremely honest and above all, pleasant! Would highly recommend. read more

My new go-to for watch repair place. Went in to get a link replaced that fell out of my chronograph MK watch with a metal band. The man looked at it, basically said" hold on a minute", and not 2 minutes later hands me my repaired watch. When I asked "how much?" he answered "Nothing" with a smile. He also repaired a watch for an elderly couple in front of me, and charged them "Nothing" also. From that type of service, I will be back for all my repairs, and will refer clients to this business. 10 star. read more

These guys are the best. Super FARE, very reasonable prices, nice guys, know their stuff and I would ONLY go here. I haven't been this impressed with a business in a long time. Congrats and thank you. read more

Great service. Once I brought in an old Ronson lighter (that I disassembled myself) and asked if he could put it back together. He worked on it for days and couldn't manage to put it back together. He also passed it on to a college who also couldn't figure it out. When I went to pick it up he wouldn't take any money for his efforts. "No charge for bad news." he said. Hilarious. read more

Came here twice already, the first time to get a watch sized for me and the second time a few months later to get a second watch fixed. I thought the second watch had needed a new battery so I originally went in to purchase one but they just did something to it which got it running again. Best part of these visits was I was not charged either time! I was also in and out within 5-10min which was very convenient. Will definitely be coming here for anything watch/clock related. read more

Finding a good watch repair business is like finding a good auto shop. This place is a gem. Crazy honest, high quality work, and very reasonable pricing. Can't beat it. They are worth driving from anywhere in the county. read more

Ok...once I finally found these guys they were great! Great price, great service...my only complaint is the hours they are open. At least stay open till 6 most of us have to work till 5. Overall...I will be a customer. Thanks Timekeepers! read more
