    Asked for a watch regulation due to my Seiko running slow out of the box. After over a week I was given a broken watch (doesn't run at all) and a big scratch on my case back. Texts are not being returned so I assume he broke the watch and tried to fix it but couldn't. Highly do not recommend trusting your watch here...

    Excellent good brand of watches here, I contacted Watch defense. to see if they could can change batteries on some of my watches. They were extremely helpful. I came in and spoke with Cesar who helped me out. He was very helpful and that he even went as far as telling me that some of my watches needed multiple batteries. Since there was a lot of batteries that needed replaced, Cesar even offer to give me a good deal in helping me decide to go with the service. Overall, this is a great place to go get your watch and jewelry done. I would recommend this to anyone. Great job guys!

    Little unassuming kiosk is great for servicing watches. No need to take your analog watch to a jewelry store!

They repaired it under warranty the first time, but then it started lifting again. As soon as it did, the pressure caused the screen to crack. Now they're telling me the crack voids the warranty, even though the crack was caused by the screen lifting -- the same issue they supposedly fixed before. When I explained this, the man I spoke with said I should've brought it in before it cracked, which makes no sense. The crack happened the moment the screen started lifting. How was I supposed to predict that? They've shown no interest in taking responsibility for their poor repair work. Instead, they're offering me a "discount" to pay them again -- for a third attempt at something they've already done badly twice. I won't be going back, and I recommend you don't either.

I drove over to the Shoppes at the Carlsbad Mall in the early evening. Lee is the owner and Lee said he's been in business at the Shoppes in Carlsbad, CA for25 years. I showed Lee my Rose Quartz Bespoke Diamond Watch and then I asked him, how much would he charge me to adjust it? Lee told me that he's going to charge me $22.50 snd that with the 10 percent discount of $2.50 off my wrist watch. The subtotal was $25.00. Lee told me to sit down in his extra chair on his shop and Lee will repair my Bespoke Diamond Rose Gold Quartz Wrist Watch while I am waiting. I said sure. I saw Lee remove about 6 Links from my wrist watch. Then Lee came back and placed this Bespoke Diamond Wrist Watch on my left wrist to make sure his watch really fits perfectly. This wrist watch fit my wrist perfectly! Lee the owner gave me fast service last night. It only took him a few minutes to repair my wrist watch. Lee also gave me excellent customer service.

I liked that they did not try and take advantage. I say this because I wanted to have all the links reinforced since this was the 3rd one to give out but I was told no others looked in jeopardy of giving out soon. The work was great quality at a decent price. It did take longer than I hoped. I think 2 weeks. And I wasn't able to get a quote ASAP. But overall I would recommend and return if needed.

I came in with a very special vision for my engagement ring and wanted to incorporate my maternal family members into a timeless design. We stopped by Bravo on a whim, with no intention of committing to anything, just to browse and gather ideas. From the moment we met Katherine, we were completely won over. She listened carefully, absorbed every detail of our feedback, and helped us bring the vision to life. I shared that I wanted to incorporate diamonds from both of my grandmothers' rings, and she absolutely exceeded every expectation. After trying on a few different shapes, we scheduled a second visit the following week. When we returned, Katherine had prepared full 3D renderings of three different designs based solely on what I had described verbally. She even had wax molds of all three so I could try on the shapes and sizes to truly understand how the ring would feel before finalizing the design. My fiancé ultimately surprised me with the ring of my dreams, and it was everything I could have ever hoped for. The centerpiece is a stunning, substantial oval diamond, with my grandmothers' diamonds beautifully cascading along the band. It is truly the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. I am beyond grateful for the care, creativity, and dedication the Bravo team put into every step of this process.
