A Series of Indignities -- I Would Not Recommend Cassio Jewelry for Watch Repair…read more I found Cassio Jewelry after Googling "authorized Movado repair near me" in The Woodlands, Texas. I was pleased to see a nearby result because previous repairs to my Movado Bold smartwatch required shipping it to Movado's facility in New York. Before visiting, I called and carefully explained that my Movado Bold uses two batteries: a rechargeable battery for its electronic functions and a separate battery for the analog watch. I specifically asked whether the analog battery could be replaced locally. The woman who answered asked me to bring the watch in, so I did. What followed was a series of indignities: Indignity #1: Accepting a repair without determining whether they could perform it. The man behind the counter looked at the back of the watch and said the repair appeared simple enough. I left it with him, along with another Movado that needed a standard battery replacement. After an unnecessarily long intake process, I was told both watches would be ready in a few days. Indignity #2: Failing to call when the watches were supposedly ready. Several days passed without any communication. I eventually called and was told that the watches had been repaired and were ready for pickup. Indignity #3: Closing early without notice. I arrived within the store's advertised business hours and within the timeframe I had been given over the phone, only to find the doors locked. A man standing in the repair area motioned for me to call the store. When he answered, he said the store had closed an hour early because of a special event. Indignity #4: Discovering at pickup that the main repair had never been completed. After reluctantly agreeing to "reopen the vault," the employee returned and informed me through the door that the Movado Bold had not been repaired. No one had called to tell me they could not do the work, despite previously telling me that the watches were repaired and ready. Indignity #5: Being met with a rude and dismissive response. When I explained that I should have been informed that they could not repair the watch, the employee retorted, "Well then maybe you should have sent it to Movado!" That is exactly what I would have done had Cassio Jewelry not appeared in my search for an authorized Movado repair shop and had its employees not encouraged me to bring the watch in. Indignity #6: Being made to wait outside in the August heat. The employee took my payment information for the other battery replacement, closed the door, and left me standing outside while he returned to the counter to process the transaction. As a Black man left sweating outside a locked jewelry store in The Woodlands, I felt humiliated and deeply uncomfortable. I could not help noticing the suspicious glances from people passing by. Indignity #7: The basic repair was not performed correctly. I later discovered that even the standard battery replacement had not been completed properly. When replacing the battery in a watch with a chronograph, the technician should verify that the chronograph hands return to zero when reset. That was not done. I will now have to pay someone else to correct the problem. This experience involved poor communication, an incomplete repair, substandard workmanship, an unexpected early closure, and an unnecessarily rude and humiliating interaction. I will not return to Cassio Jewelry, and based on my experience, I cannot recommend taking a watch there for any type of repair.
