Went in today to get my bosses watch repaired. I found them via Yelp. I was happy to find a clean shop that's been well taken care of! The young lady behind the counter helped me right away and fixed the band and replaced the battery in a timely manner. The owner was there too and very friendly. I think I've found a new watch place since my hubby is a watch fanatic! I only paid $10.00 for a new battery and $2.00 for the metal band clip!!! read more

So we were about town and needed to stop in somewhere to get a battery change so happens that we found this on yelp, so glad we went in Rita is the friendliest nicest woman, she kept us entertained while she change the battery in my watch I love going to places like this that fall into my lap!!! read more

I love this new store right next to my nail salon!!!! The staff is super friendly (they even gave me coffee and a donut) and the prices for the watches are really GOOD! I got a silver Fossil woman's watch for a REALLY GOOD price because they have some sort of discount since they are new to the neighborhood. One thing that made me give them 5 stars is that they offer lay away!! will be back soon for sure. read more

What a wonderful experience! The owner is amazingly kind and extremely helpful! His prices are VERY good and his customer service is outstanding! I will definitely be coming back! I highly recommend doing business here! read more

Does anyone know if Garo's shop has reopened after some idiot tried to turn it into a speedway?

I want to thank him for staying open after hours to fix my watch. I mentioned to him that it was urgent and he didnt hesitate to get it done for me. Great customer service and it was nice to see him again after all those years in the indoor. I will be coming here for all of my watch needs. read more

Fantastic work and quick... this guy knows what he is a doing.... my mom went in to get her watch battery replaced in a seiko and took 3 minutes.... we will be back here! Thank you for opening up in Downey... read more

After reviewing yelp i decided to go to the watch repair closer to work for sizing of two new watches. Everything yelpers are saying is correct. He is friendly, knowledgeable and reasonable. I happened to walk in when he was eating lunch. Even tho he had a napkin in his hand to wipe off excess food...he said excuse me, I'm just going to wash my hands. Happy he did that to not get any food particles or leftover grease on my brand new watches. He gave me a great deal , took links out of one watch and the other he did so quickly without tools , he said this one is free.. I just didn't know it was possible..he could have lied and charged me for that one too but he didn't. Anywhere there is honesty is the right business for me. This is his business and he takes pride in it. You can tell when you walk in. read more

Go here for a quick battery replacement or a link removal. 3 star for me, because he does not polish or buff scratches out, also made a slight scratch on my Versace watch, (one of the links) while removing the links. I was charged $30 for 1 battery replacement and a link adjustment. read more

My watch guy for 20 yrs he is fast and quick on watch repair..gives great deals on watches saving my money for my next big splurge..Thank goodness he didnt move too far when the Indoor Swap meet closed..he will show you how to use a complicated chrono watches. read more

I usually give reviews for exceptional service or very bad service and this place is a diamond. Prices are very fair and the deals are decent and match those prices online. I will be going back for sure. read more

I just stopped by earlier today for the first time to have my battery replaced. Not only was Garo quick and friendly, but he gave me a discount! So sweet! I asked him how much he would charge to size my watch and he said he didn't recommend it because the watch already fit perfectly. Honesty goes a long way. My mom was with me and said she was absolutely coming back with all of her watches based on the quality of service I received. Not only is the shop flawlessly clean, but there is such a WIDE variety of watches and clocks. Definitely not hard to find something awesome. Lots of beautiful pieces, as well as more modern watches and functional (saw some great sports watches as well). Bottom line: honest owner, great prices and wonderful service. I'll be back for sure. read more

Garo seems to be very honest and experienced. For once my Dad bought a watch, that had a band to fit him, right off the shelf. Garo even offered for free to add a link, so my Dad would feel more comfortable. We went other places and they said we only remove links. Will come back and do business again. read more

$12 to adjust my brand new Coach watch! I didn't expect it to be this cheap to remove a few links from my watch! Definitely would recommend and the customer service is great too, was in & out in less than 20mins! read more

Changed a battery for $7 and didn't wait at all. I was surprised to find out how many watches they actually carry in the store. If you're looking to buy a watch, you should consider stopping by before going to the mall. You're more likely to get a better discount here. read more

Great service and repaired my watch quickly. The staff was very helpful in explaining everything.

I came here because of all the good reviews on here. I went in just wanting to change the batteries on two watches. Very nice man and the woman that was there as well, i took in a Vince Camuto which he charged 10$ and 8$ for a Guess. I was satisfied i mean i didn't want to pay more at the mall. I asked him how much it would be to clean them and he said total for both 28 if im not mistaken. Overall im satisfied. read more

This place has a great selection on watches and good prices. I went to replace the battery on two watches and paid for one because they had a check in offer. The girl was very friendly and helpful. I'll be telling all my friends and family about this place. read more

Fast service and fair prices. Definitely recommend for your watch/battery repair needs.

Came in on a Sunday afternoon to have my watch battery replaced and was both greeted and helped immediately. Both men working there were very friendly and I walked out with a fixed watch less than three minutes (and only $7) later. Will definitely go back if I need to! read more

This repair shop always have every color watch band and i don't never have to wait a long time and I like that it's in a conclusive place

Just picked up a couple of watches that I needed batteries and pin replaced. Owner and daughter (I believe) were very nice and helpful. Great place for watch repairs. read more

I had been comparing prices for a G-Shock both online and local stores when I finally found it rightfully priced at this store. I came across it just in time for Valentines! I was impressed by their selection (they carry watches for men, women and kids) and came across a beautiful fossil watch which I placed on layaway! I recommend this place if you want to save money and experience great customer service. read more

Ran out of battery on my G Shock, went to Mall Time Stonewood Center in Downey to find out how much for a replacement. The guy told me, this watch takes six batteries, and its going to cost me $60, I told him last time I changed the battery, I did not pay that much! I left the store and checked on yelp for watch repair stores around and found Garo's, called him first to make sure he works with this kind of watches. Went to the store, was greated by a nice young lady, she took my watch and passed it over to Garo, went on working and showed me the inside, to my surprise the watch took four batteries and it costed $30 minus the $15 check in coupon, ended up paying $15. Great service, great attitude. I will be back for my other watch needs batteries too. I hope the greeter will be there! read more

Joanna was very helpful. I had to 2 watches that needed batteries. I was in and out in about 10 minutes for only $22.

Best watch repairer in Downey! Thanks! Also great prices on G-shock watches. Love mine!

Best place to get a watch or get it repaired. Excellent service. They knew exactly what I wanted. I didn't get the beautiful person name who was helping me but she was wonderful very patient with me and I'm picky :) overall very very very happy I came here. read more

Great service. I needed batteries for three watches. Took advantage of the $25 for $15 coupon. My total came to $26 so I only owed them $1 to complete the purchase! The young lady who helped me was very nice and very helpful. I left my watches with her and had lunch a couple of doors down at Toyitos Peruvian Chicken (which was equally as good on product and customer service). Garo's provided for a quick, convenient and productive lunch break. read more

Got a few watches sizes and only one fit the way I asked. i asked him to leave the second watch just like the first (same style watch) and he replied "sure I'll take the link out" but then only moved the pin on the clasp. He kept insisting that that they would fit too tight if he took another link out of the 2nd and 3rd watches. So I left having to get the remaining watches resized somewhere else. Place is good if you only have one watch to deal with and if you are stern with him. Nice enough guy but I'd rather have the job done right. read more

I do apologize for the late review. I do want to add that this is the best watch repair shop nearby. I was surprised by the offer he gave me and the discount for replacing the wrist band on my watch. He replaced my battery, the leather band, and I got a Hamsa keychain under 25 bucks. What I notice is that he replaced my synthetic watch strap with a genuine leather strap. Honestly, I could not ask for more since I am still wearing it as if it were brand new. He is a great person, and he can work it out for you. On the plus side, he knows what he is doing and he will give you advice on maintaining longevity for the watch. read more

Great local place. Found this location yelp & loved it. The owner is very nice & helpful. Service was quick & Great prices.

i had a watch that used to belong to my dad, which he received when he got into college from his dad. The watch hasn't worked in over 30 years. I found Garo's shop via Google and decided to pay him a visit. He informed me that the watch was a vintage CITIZEN hand-wound watch, and he replaced the band for me for a decent price. Great visit! read more

I need to repair my Tissiot watch last week for my Mother's Day gift and I stopped by at Garos watch repair, and even though it was not a huge repair to my surprise when I asked how much I owed them, the lady said "pay me next time" and I left without paying a dime. You don't find quality people around anymore! I will definitely buy my next watch from them "next time". Thank you for your kindness and God bless you both. read more

I found this location searching through yelp. Got a battery replaced on my watch. Great service and I would definitely come back here...

I came about this buss through yelp. I had 7 watches that needed repairs, adjustments & batteries. So I decided based on the reviews on yelp give this buss a try and was not disapointed. Owner very nice, staff very knowledgeable about watches. They told me the prices for each watch before hand. No traps straight out honest bussiness. Unaware one of my watches was damaged due to a corroded battery. Shop owner showed me the damage, explained why it was damaged but repairable, gave me a price and told I could come back when ready to get my watch fixed. They repaired my watches in a timely manner. They got a very good inventory and layout. While I waited I looked around the store and spotted my next watch. They have watches for all family members. Family friendly buss. I finally found my watch store, will definitely be coming back to this buss. read more

Came here again to replace a battery, and the girl readjusted my watch, and replaced the battery. They have friendly service

not inexpensive, but very high quality work. it probably cost as much as the watch is worth, but it required major surgery -- the watch had literally been stomped on read more

This place is excellent! I had a few watches that needed new batteries and Garo's took care of me! Great service and battery replacement done quickly. In addition, they have a great watch selection and they have a great special going on right now. Go to Garo's and ask for Johanna, she is great to deal with and she will take care of you!! Thank you Johanna! read more

Excellent Service!!! In and out in 15 minutes!!! Very Humble. Good work! It is now my go to for any watch repair!

My family has been going to Garo's since my childhood. Great service and trustworthy!! This is my "go to" spot for anything watch related. I have used Garo's for all my rolex services, have had nothing but positive experiences. read more
