Came in after a few other jewelers passed on resizing my Gucci watch band. "No charge." What a guy!!! 5 stars!!!

I was very pleased to come here! I was gifted an old automatic watch that I just didn't know anything about and was scare to death to mess with it. I looked for a we'll reviewed place to get some help and most places where either expensive or had a complicated process. I ended up finding timekeepers through yelp and boy oh boy... Am I happy to have come here. The two guys that helped me where courteous, quick and helpful! They where honest about what can and should be done with my old watch ( and a few other I brought for service) and what to avoid. DONT HESITATE, THIS GUYS ARE THE REAL DEAL! read more

Resized my watch in seconds, was in and out of there in 2 minutes --free of charge. Will definitely be back and recommend Timekeepers to anyone who needs a watch/clock fixed. read more

The owner lied to my face about my watch repair. I believe they are both incompetent. I was a long time customer, but not any more. They don't deserve local business. read more

This store is excellent. I have been going there for years and thought I should finally write a review. I have had watched repaired there, new bands installed and lots of new batteries put in. They always do it extremely quickly, honestly, and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend them. read more

So kind of them to resize my watchband and not accept payment for doing so. Very nice people.

We showed up a couple of minutes after closing time this evening, carrying a bag of seven watches that needed batteries, bands replaced and links removed. 15 minutes and 30 bucks later, we were on our way. Cool. read more

Highly reccomended! I had never been to Timekeepers, but took my new Nixon watch there to get a few links taken out on a recommendation. The guy behind the counter was friendly, helpful, and got right to work on my watch. Less than 5 minutes later, and a few precision whacks with a hammer, he handed it back to me with the links in a small plastic pouch. I asked him how much I owed him, and he told me there was no charge. The jeweler down the street said I would have to come back the next day, and wanted to charge me $8 per link (3 links). I will definitely be giving them my business in the future. read more

Simply a terrific experience. I have gone to another place to get my watch batteries replaced and I have never had a bad experience at that place, but I cannot afford to spend that amount all the time on a simple service and after doing some research, I decided to try this place. I went here to get the batteries replaced in three of my watches and the person working there looked at them and told me it would cost $5 for each watch and would only take a few minutes. About four minutes had past when he finished replacing the batteries to all three of my watches. However, he told me that one of the watches still was not working after the battery change so he only charged me $10 for the two that did work and gave me advice on what to do about the one that did not work. In short, the employee was very nice, helpful, and efficient. Edit: I finally took the watch that wasn't working to another place to get looked at and it turns out that one of the screws was messed up and that the person I had asked previously didn't attempt to replace the battery. However, I still recommend this place if you are within the area and you just need a quick battery replacement. read more

My watch band broke (the links became disconnected) and he fixed it in about 45 seconds and wouldn't let me pay for it. Great business, nice guys. Just make sure you don't go there on a Saturday after 3 pm; they're not open until 5 pm like this yelp page suggests. read more

Every bit as awesome as everyone says! There were 2 customers ahead of me on a quick lunch break. Even so, I was in and out in 10 minutes with 2 brand new batteries in my old watches and some very friendly service. No reason to go anywhere else. Fantastic! read more

Timekeepers - Watches Near Me - Encinitas, California

Masters of time pieces and one liners. Generous with their time and expertise. Bravo to the brothers!

I went to Timekeepers because of the great Yelp reviews and I had a great experience as well! They were awesome! Extremely friendly and quick. They replaced a battery in my watch in 5 mins and charged me just $5. I'll be returning next time I need a battery! read more

Burhan did a great job on my grandmother clock that needed a lot of work. He has it running like new again. He had great follow up service and came by my house to ensure that all of my concerns were addressed. I also had him service my grandfather clock and he was quick and had a fair price for this home visit. I will have no concerns recommending him to my friends and family. read more

I needed a battery for my Omega and came here for the first time. Wow, I regret not knowing about this place for its first two changes! The battery was replaced, the gasket lubed and a quick clean was done as I waited, all for a very reasonable price. Lots of neat stuff to look at while waiting as well. Instant life-long customer here! read more

Professional, reliable, genuine, honest and pleasant. I am a watch aficionado and have been using their services for the past 13 years. You really can"t find better service or pricing any where else. read more

I brought in two watches which I thought needed batteries. I was told that only one needed a battery The other one had a simple problem was fixed while I waited. The price for both was very reasonable. I definitely bring all my watch and clock problems here. read more

This is Yelp working at its best. I had to get a new watch sized, looked up the best places in North County and this came up top of the list. It was close by, had great reviews, and now I know why. Quick, honest, not there to nickle-and-dime you. A real service-conscious business. I am a new loyal customer. read more

Very good service from a real artisan. This is the best clock/watch shop I have ever been to. I trust this shop. V.H. read more

The place to go for watch repair. Capable, friendly and efficient. Large selection of clocks for sale. House calls by appointment for grandfather clocks. Highly recommended. read more

Walked in because of all the great reviews. The 2 friendly men helped me immediately & had both my battery's on my watches fixed within 5 minutes! I will 100% be back. read more

Kind gentlemen that work/own this shop. I've been coming here for years and years - everything "five bucks" -- replace watch batteries, adjust my watch bands, new crystal, adjustment of timing, whatever - they are very knowledgeable and take pride in their work. they are an encinitas fixture here! read more

I'm sure they're fine with a simple battery change, but I wouldn't recommend them for service on a mechanical timepiece. I tried, and was told after one glance that the watch had to go back to the manufacturer. I could have gone to Sears to get that diagnosis. Expected more after these reviews. read more

I can't imagine any well-run business, these days, not going overboard to try to help a customer or even a would-be customer, but the gentlemen running this business were nothing short of rude. We brought in a watch and they spent about 45 seconds looking at it before dimissing it as "common" and worth nothing. They couldn't wait for us to leave their shop - or so it seemed. I'd rather go to Target and buy a battery from them then go back to this location. read more

If you need a new battery or watch band this place is great. When it comes to vintage watch repairs they always say it can't be fixed, but then I go other places and they fix it?? This happened to me with like 8 watches. Strange? They are very nice people. read more

Five stars but deserving of more. The kind gentleman changed my watch batteries on spot within minutes. Very reasonably priced, fast, and honest. read more

These guys are the best. I hope they don't retire any time soon. They've repaired my Tiffany mantle clock and ate our go to place for watch batteries. read more

Rarely do I give a company a 5 star review but I must say I stopped in on a Friday afternoon at 4:45pm just 15 minutes before closing and there was a line of about 6 of us waiting to be helped (which I overheard from another repeat customer was unusual). The owner was great about getting each of us helped in turn and was quick to take care of all of our needs (band replacement, link addition, new battery). All of us were out of the shop before 5:00pm. Helping 6 customers in 15 minutes, with exceptional friendly service and in a professional manner is impressive. It's cash/check "no plastic" and when one of the customers unaware didn't have the cash, she was simply told to bring it by next time - even when she offered to go to the ATM, he simply told her it's Friday afternoon just bring it by next time. Without a line I would have been in and out in 5 minutes and for all of $5 my COACH watch is back up and running like new, he even set the time for me. I highly recommend Timekeepers for anyone who has any watch or clock repair need. read more

I joined yelp just so I could write a review on how great my experience was at this place. I went there based on the other reviews and they were spot on. Had three watches that I thought needed batteries -- they tested and found out that only one did (and therefore only charged me $5 for the one). I left a satisfied customer only to realize that I had forgotten to ask to get a couple of links taken out of the watch -- they did it promptly. The battery tests, swap and link removals took less than 5 minutes total. It was clear that the other patrons in the store that they were long-time customers ... I will be going forward as well. read more

This place was great! In and out with a new watch battery in less than five minutes... And only $5! I will definitely use them for all watch and clock repairs in the future. read more

Timekeepers was recommended to me for watch battery replacement and outstanding service. I didn't realize that they do not accept credit cards and only had $3 in my pocket. The owner, incredibly nice said "no problem, just mail me a check". Who does that anymore??? I will most definitely return and give him more of my business even though I don't live in Encinitas, I live in downtown San Diego. Awesome service and as nice as can be!! read more

Twice now I have turned away with my broken clocks. Today I was told the entire motor and all parts would need to be replaced which I know to be false. I gave you guys a second chance and you blew it. I guess you guys are best at changing watch batteries. read more

Absolutely the best. Do not hesitate to take your watches or clocks to them if they need any type of work done.

Just went to Timekeepers with my daughter to get our little German cuckoo clock fixed. I walked into a little cluttered ma and pa shop with old and new clocks ticking all around me. I felt like I was in a shop like Geppetto's from Pinocchio. I was happy to see other cuckoo clocks on the wall. I explained my problem with the clock and a man from the desk came out to help me. He began explaining to my daughter the parts of the clock, how he was fixing it, and how to maintain it while captivating my 9 year old daughter like it was a new app on my iPhone! By the time he was finished, my daughter held and walked the clock to our car as if it was the most prized possession our family owns. He spent a total of 10 minutes, fixed a minor problem, and didn't charge us for the clock. I would have happily paid him for it. But the reason that I am going out of my way to Yelp today is NOT because I had a free service today, but because I met a community member and shopkeeper that cares more about clocks and people than nickel and diming them. His obvious knowledge and enthusiasm towards clocks feeding a child's curiously so naturally and sincerely makes me happy to know shops like these exist in this community. My daughter got into our car and said, "wow mom, it's like he had magic clock hands!" These are the kind of local shops I want to support and give my money to "keep them ticking!" Clock on! read more

Great service from my one time there. They were nice enough to fix my band right there on the spot. I provided the replacement band and he was kind enough to just make the repair for free. Also gave me great advice about not taking my watch into the shower or jacuzzi. Soap and heat not good for the watch. read more

Best place in town to get your watch repaired or get new batteries. Love these guys, fast and very reasonable.

I've been asking around and looking for a clock shop for years for my out-of-commision Beidermier wall clock. It was put out of sorts by the move to San Diego and two expensive repairs in another shop produced nothing. It turns out I've been driving by this shop all this time. Finally saw the reviews in Yelp. They are true. Mario quickly adjusted it and went out of his way to give me instructions for transporting and setting up at home. He urged me to call for more assistance if I had any problems with the set up. It wasn't necessary - for the first time in 6 years it is ticking away. read more

It doesn't matter what kind of watch or clock you have. They will take the best care of it. You can bring exotic timepieces or a run of the mill Timex and they will treat you as a valued guest in their business. It is a place where you wish them the very best. Everyone you meet there loves these two guys. Me too. read more

Walked in with my Omega Watch with the second needle fell out from a reckless drop, one of the technician took my watch and fixed it within 5 minutes. When I asked how much, he just simply reached out his hand and gave me a handshake. That's it. Free of charge, I asked several times for the cost of such repair, he insisted, just a handshake. What a pleasant surprise. read more

Very honest! My watch just needed to be cleaned apparently (the battery was operational). I tried to tip, but he wouldn't take it. It's nice to see some honesty today! They will get my watch business every time! read more
