Had my Movado watch battery replaced yesterday. Very reasonably priced and quick turnaround!

I was recommended to take my watch here for a battery change from multiple people in my local Facebook group, so I thought that I would give them a try. Always love giving my business to small family run businesses. They were pretty busy when I walked in, but were friendly and accommodating and were still able to get me in and out of there in under twenty minutes. I didn't mind the wait as they were helping multiple people who walked in before me. They were honest, efficient and reasonably priced. I will definitely continue to bring my business here. read more

Excellent service. They have been a reliable service for me since I moved to LF. Most recently they repaired a clock for me. Not only did they repair the clock movement that we agreed upon, they also went above and beyond to clean the clock face. It looks so good, almost brand new. Check out the photo that I posted for proof. Thank you WatchTech! read more

Watch Tech - Replaced movement and they went above and beyond to clean the face. The clock looks brand new! Thank you Watch Tech! - Watches Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Replaced the batteries in 4 Oakley watches... including my Minute Machine all in 30 minutes and very reasonably priced.

This place was the only place opened earlier than all the rest in my area & since I was up early that day I was eager to start my day. I arrived just after opening & was greeted by the sweetest little Asian lady. I was able to get the battery in one of my watch's replaced right then & there but needed to return for a second watch repair a week later. When it was ready, I received a text message alerting me & picked it up the following day. The watch was just how I had expressed my desire for it to look & I was thrilled! Even the cost was dramatically less than what I had previously paid to another shop who failed miserably to satisfy the work required on this repair. I absolutely recommend this little shop! I even told the woman who 1st greeted me that I will only be coming to see them for all my future needs. Amazing job guys! A special Thank-u to the craftsman behind the glass. Who's delicate hand, great eye for beauty & talent went into delivering amazing work. read more

Great service and the owners are extremely nice! Brought in 7 watched needing batteries and other needs and they fixed them all in less than 30 minutes! The price was good and I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing watches or clocks fixed. read more

During the day - during the week. Took 5 mins + $15 and watch is all set and ready with new battery! Just like that. So, yes! I recommend!

I've always gone here for any watch issues or battery replacement. Recently, my Michele watch stopped running. I was out of town and went to a place close to where I was staying. I was told it wasn't the battery, and I needed the mechanism replaced. It felt as if he was being dishonest because he tried to convince me he would work with me on the price. When I returned home, I came right over here. There is nothing wrong with my watch. The owners of this store are so kind and so honest. I'd never trust anyone else. read more

Excellent little watch shop with big customer service! Had 5 batteries replaced and they did a wonderful job. My 2nd visit...

Amazing customer service. I went here to get my grandpas watches new batteries and bands and they got everything repaired and working again within 20 min. read more

I'm ok with their service. I had to go twice to fix the issue. Make sure to test your watch before leaving it might save you a trip.

Very quick to respond when I messaged them. Very nice clean little store in Lake Forest. Fast service. They say what they do and do what they say. I had a few links taken out of a Submariner I recently purchased. They did it while I waited and charged me exactly what they quoted on Yelp. read more

I have been going to this watch shop for many years for simple tasks as battery replacements to complicated repair as movement repair. Recently, they brought my beloved watch, Luminox Navy Seal watch to life with movement replacement and complete service. They even cleaned inside the watch for no extra cost when I discovered tiny spec stuck inside the watch glass. It is so refreshing to see honest watch shop that you can trust with your beloved watch collection. My next repair will be my dad's Rolex. Whether it is your Seiko or Rolex they can bring them to life. read more

Very nice, helpful staff, quick and really well priced for watch battery replacement. Will be back again and again!

Great little shop. I needed a new wrist band for my Seiko watch, and they helped me find the perfect one from their selection. The wrist band installation is free if you buy in store. It took less than five minutes to install! Kind and knowledgeable owners. There is a nice selection of Seiko and Japanese watches on display, in addition to other brands. I would visit again for my watch needs in the future. read more

So fast! I walked in and out in less than 10 mins and only cost $15 where other neighboring shops quoted at least twice that much. The woman that assisted me today was personable and friendly. Great experience! read more

This is the best place to bring your watches in for batteries, service, and repair. They also have a great selection of watches. Not only are they the most affordable place to bring your watches, but they are also scrupulously honest! I brought in three watches for new batteries. One they replaced. The second they said wasn't going to work even with a new battery. The third (which would have been the highest price battery) they said was fine after they removed it and repositioned the original battery in the case (no charge). They have also resized bands for us. They are very quick, affordable, and very nice! read more

In and out in less than 10 minutes. Came in for a battery change. Only cost $8.95. Courteous and speedy work. This place is located in the plaza across from the Men's Wearhouse plaza. Bring in a couple watches for battery changes and get a discount. Don't forget to check in for a Yelp deal. read more

Liked the friendly service. New battery for watch. Sorry to say some small shops are hard to find in that area of Lake Forest where 4 malls are located. Not this shop - well signed, near road (El Toro), and easy to find. Thankfully, got out for $10 for new battery. Took say 10 minutes near closing time. read more

Went in for a pin replacement they wanted $20 and I had to wait 30min. Paper clip did the job and I saved $20 I think their prices are over priced!! read more

I walked in on my lunch with a Casio Pathfinder watch that I bought in 2003 and it needed batteries. The super nice lady said it would be $35.00 and 20 minutes It needed a special battery because of the watch has a solar cell on it.. Well it was all true except the time I was only there 15 minutes!!!!! Lots of people coming in with there watch collections having bands/batteries/repairs. Not to busy to care but busy enough I hope for them. Awesome place. No gimmicks. Just nice folks and quick work. Thanks!! read more

Friendly. EXCELLENT service. Fast. Good prices for watch battery repair. They are always helpful and give you a trusted honest answer to your watch issues. read more

Fast, Affordable, and Friendly. Couldn't ask for more. I was in and out with a battery replacement in less than 5 minutes.

Came in to get a battery for my Tag Heuer. I only waited about 10 minutes and was out the door. And it only cost me $15!

They did a very nice job servicing and polishing my Tag Heuer. Fair prices. The lady could be a little nicer about how she conducts herself talking to customers.... but it is what it is read more

Came in to have my Tissot watch worked on. The dials needed to be adjusted for the calendar days and year. Also had the watch battery and leather band replaced (old one was damaged). The people there were professional and had my watched fixed quickly. I'm coming back to get my watch case polished. read more

I'm thrilled with this little shop which I understand has been in business for 30 years! I've had batteries changed in my watches in this locale for a couple of decades but was never once fully satisfied. My sister recommended Watch Tech and when I tried it, I was amazed at how thoroughly professional, knowledgeable, and personable everything was. Marie and her husband run a first-class business here, so I didn't think twice about going back a second time to buy a watch and to pick up some gift items for friends. And, of course, two of my old watches needed new batteries as well. This is the kind of store that we seniors remember from our early years: ultra-friendly, ultra-helpful, super-cooperative, and just plain fun to visit! My thanks to the owners for a very refreshing experience. read more

Ok, first, let me start this off by saying, NEVER buy a watch from Nike. At least, don't buy a watch and expect them to give a crap about it afterwards. I have had several bad experiences with them, including a band that snapped 3 weeks after buying it, but because I didn't have the reciept, "I'm sorry, there is nothing we can do for you". And that response was even after writing 2 letters to Nike corporate. In addition to not backing up their products, they also won't change out the battery for you....without the reciept, a $30 fee, and oh yeah, you have to MAIL it in to them. Sadly, they make good watches for teaching aerobics, so even with all of that, I still wanted to keep the functioning ones I had. Several people refused to change the batteries on them because the battery case structure on Nike watches is so odd. (And yes...I *DID* try to do it myself....and ended up stabbing myself with a screwdriver trying to get the back off to no avail.) I had almost given up. But then, my last functioning watch (A Movado, not a Nike) died as well, and I realized that I couldn't pretend I didn't need watch batteries anymore. I study at the Coffee Bean next door to Watch Tech, and so I decided to give it a try. I brought in 2 Nike watches, a Seiko watch, and a Movado watch that all needed batteries, plus a Lucien Piccard watch that I had bought super cheap and wanted to get a new band for. For all of the above? $59 bucks. Yep. 4 batteries (2 of which several jewelers claimed they couldn't replace) a new band, AND it was all done in 15 minutes. They don't take American Express. But other than that.... Freakin' brilliant. read more

Normally I dont write reviews but I had to do it on this one. Highly recommended place!!!!! I took my vintage Mido commander watch since the stem and crown came off and in order to but it back you have to remove the crystal, hands and dial to get to the movement. (Yeah this watch is a hassle since you it doesn't have a screw down back) The technician took a look at it, probably waited less than 10min and it was fixed!! Best part is that they did it for free!!!!!!! I was thinking I would have to wait a day or two and pay $100. It's hard to find honest people, so that's why I recommend this place. read more

I needed 3 screws for the back of my Burberry watch and a new band put on. After I waited 20 minutes I was told that they have any and I should go to the Burberry store in south coast plaza. I purchased my band at the store in south coast and the lady at Burberry suggested that I go to a repair stop because they are just common screws and if not, they would have to mail my watch for repairs which takes 6 weeks! I went to the shops at mission Viejo, fast fix, 20 minutes later I had 3 new screws and my new band on for $26.00 I will not be returning to watch tech read more

Affordable and fast watch battery replacement. Very friendly. Beautiful jewelry for sale too.

Got some links removed from my watch. It was fast. 7 minutes tops. Pricing was decent... nothing too cheap nor too expensive. The store is clean. Just like how I like it. I will come back here again. read more

I have taken my watches to Watch Tech multiple times for new batteries. They are always completed quickly (sometimes even the same day). Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. read more

Excellent service and friendly establishment. Very impressed with Watch tech. I had to repair a watch with a rubber band. He fixed it in under 2 minutes. Other place told me it wasn't fixable since it had a rubber band. read more

This is your old fashioned neighborhood watch shop. They offer repairs / service such as battery replacements and also sell a variety of watches and clocks. I've been using them for several years and have been here at least 5 times now to have batteries replaced and even purchase watches. GOOD 1: They have an easy to reach location with plenty of parking. It's never hard to get in or out of this place. GOOD 2: Their prices are very reasonable. The last 2 times I've been there were for battery replacements on my Movado & Tag. My total was less than $30 for both. GOOD 3: Quality of work. On my various trips to have my expensive watches worked on they've never left a scratch, nick, or mark on any of my stuff. This is something that's very important to me as my watches are very expensive and I treat them more like jewelry. BAD 1: I normally point out things that need to be improved but in this case I really don't have anything to gripe about. Overall it's a solid place to get your watch battery and possibly other service done. They're fast and friendly, but most of all they're quality and that's the most important thing for me. I readily recommend this place to my friends read more

Very happy with watch tech. Needed a bracelet sized and they are close to my office. They greeted me right away, took the watch into the back and completed sizing in a few minutes. Service while I wait was a huge bonus. read more

These guys are awesome. Replaced my battery in my watch and instead of just replacing the battery and giving it back to me, they set the correct time and date for me, so I didn't have to. May not mean much to some people but I notice that kind of extra service. Much appreciated Watch-Tech! read more

I've been using these people for a long time, they are pros when it comes to all sorts of timepieces. They replace batteries, size my bands and sell me beautiful watches. The gentlemen in the back KNOWS watches and the beautiful lady in the front is always cheerful, knowledgeable and helpful. You can't go wrong... Thanks! Dan read more

My boyfriend had to get a new battery for his watch. We walked into this place and were done in less than ten minutes. There was no wait, the staff was friendly and it cost about $10. They did have some very pretty fossil watches...if your in to that sort of thing. read more

This was my fourth time coming here and I always leave satisfied. Most of what I've needed is either battery replacement or band sizing/link removal. Everyone here has been friendly and the work they do is great; it's nice to have a nearby, reliable business to take your watch to. So far, all the work I've had done has been reasonably/fairly priced. read more
