This is a hidden gem! The customer service is amazing. I simply walked in to get my battery changed in two watches. I was able to sit and wait for my watches. The cost was about $30 each watch. If you are looking for high quality watch, go here! read more

I had an older watch that quit working. Thought it was probably the battery. Took into Central Watch and they said the movement was bad and that it would cost more to replace the movement than an new watch. They were very accommodating about the process and helpful. They are a substantial change for the positive from the previous owner who was abrupt, unfriendly and a poor businessman. I readily recommend the current operation if you have a watch or clock problem. They did not charge me for my evaluation and I did offer to pay. read more

Extremely efficient and knowledgeable staff. I had both a Rolex and Tag repaired and cleaned here, and the pricing and timing were eminently reasonable. Negative reviews tend to focus on sensitive and entitled people getting their feewings huwt. Ignore the princesses and come here for expert service. read more

The new owner of Central Watch & Clock Repair, Che Presas, is professional, kind, and knowledgeable. I have taken my Rolex, my very old Bulova, and my equally as old Certina to him for cleaning and repair. All services have been done in a timely and in a quality manner. I can totally recommend Che to anyone with a clock or watch problem! I am a customer for life! read more

Called about if my Philip Stein watch could be repaired. The male that answered the phone was blunt but courteous. HE DOESN'T REPAIR WATCHES WITH A BATTERY. I had no idea there was a hierarchy for watches. Apparently my little watch didn't make the cut. Lol read more

Central Watch & Clock Repair - Phillip Stein watch that needs repair. #watchrepair #philipsteinwatchrepair - Watch Repair Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

After waiting for 15 minutes at a national chain department store without the slightest inclination of getting any help, we found ourselves at the Central Watch & Clock Repair shop. I just needed a battery in a watch replaced. Well, we were in, greeted, helped, and out the door in LESS THAN 5 minutes. Friendliest person working there and downright excellent service and price for it. I'll never go anywhere else BUT here for my watches. read more

The guy is stright up front. Doesn't have time to BS. He simply tells you how it iswith no filter. He knows the business amd is the best in my opinion. read more

Worst attitude and service I have ever experienced. I manage a retail store so I always notice good and bad service and I was appalled with the guy behind the counter's service and help. I'll never go in there ever again nor will I ever recommend them to anyone. read more

Have used Ambrose for years. He is honest and knows his skill. My Rolex is in wonderful condition because of his care. He has also repaired Antique clocks for me. Skip everyone else in Corpus. Take your watches and clocks to him. Fast service done right and reasonable. Thanks Ambrose. Vicki Patterson your Customer for Life. read more

I have done business with Ambrose for years. He repairs most MECHANICAL clocks and watches (i.e. no battery). I got a quote from an Omega service center to repair a 1970's vintage automatic Seamaster for $1,000.00. I would need to send it off and it was expected to have a 90+ day turn-around. Ambrose did the repairs in a week and charged less than 1/3 of Omega's price. As for the people whining about being rude, Ambrose is direct and to the point, no doubt about that. But generally, anytime you tell someone "no" they consider you rude. I notice that most of the negative reviews here are from people that have quartz watches. read more

I sent my rolex watch to Rolex USA in Dallas. They came back with a repair bill of $1800 and said it would take weeks. I took it to Central, the owner helped me, I left my watch and a week later I had it back with a bill that was less than half of what Rolex USA would charge. He uses authentic parts, knows rolex watches and is so professional. Do not waste your time going anywhere else. read more

There are a lot of people on here bad mouthing Ambrose and his business, but I can assure you, his prices are extremely fair, and his level of skill is top notch. If you want to go into a watch store and get your butt kissed, this is probably not the place for you. He is not a teddy bear, but I have been using his services for 10 years now, and so long as you don't tire kick, and beat him up on his already extremely low prices, you will have a friend and great service for life. Best tip I can give is get quotes from the other local Jewelers first, then come to CWC, pay him his price, and never worry again. Great place to do business! read more

I went in this afternoon to kindly ask for links to be taken out of my watch. Please be mindful no one else was in the store and the gentleman said it would be two hours and to leave the watch. All, I said was okay however, I do not want to leave the watch. He then all of the sudden went on rant and raised his voice stating do you think I been here all day waiting for you to come in???!!! He then stated you were not thinking at all huh?! He then said a few more comments and went to the back leaving me at the counter. I hesitated for one minute to respond and just politely said thank you for your time. I understand other duties however, it would have taken him tops 5-10minutes to size me up and again the only customer in the store. The gentleman is extremely rude and unprofessional. Take your business elsewhere!!!!!!!! read more

The owner is Incredibly rude, and offers service with a twist - horrible attitude and customer service. My experience with him was the single worst consumer experience of my life. He was rude, argumentative and downright miserable. I don't know how he stays in business with his demeanor and attitude.We actually argued there at the front counter simply because I asked him a question about the work he did on my watch. I was stunned at his response and I immediately got into an argument with him about it, which is rare. I've heard nothing but bad about him since my experience there. Reference the other review here and you'll see what I mean. I truly believe him to be a terrible person and in need of some serious help. Keep your watch or clock away from here. Customers deserve better than this. I truly look forward to the day I see the shop closed down for business. Only then will I be satisfied that the watch and clock world is a better place. read more

I walked into a stinky place to meet the rudest owner of a store I've ever met before. Every question I asked the man I could not understand his answer. I would ask what after every answer he gave me then he would yell out his answer again in an unprofessional tone in which I still couldn't make out his words. Then as I had came back to pick up my watch I pulled out my wallet to pay and he points to the sign behind him and asks me," did you not read the sign?" The sign said "cash only! No credit cards!" Like the guy before me asked how is this dude still in business baffles me to death. I would also be pleased to see this business cease or at least the ownership. And what kind of business in this day in age of the year 2015 does not take a debit card. Now I have to go back tomorrow with cash to take to this ungrateful owner to bail my poor watch out of his unfriendly possession and fight the unforgiving nonstop traffic of staples all over again thanks to not having a credit card machine. read more
