Matthew helped me pick out a wonderful birthday present watch for my wife. He is kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He did not pressure me at all during the process, and he gave me a wide range of options at different prices. I would absolutely go back here if I needed another watch or needed a watch repaired. read more

They were quick, attentive and complimentary as they serviced my watches. I was in and out in what felt like 15 munutes and had both of my favorite watches back in service. I will highly recommend and know where I can go next time I need to get help. read more

Customer service was great and fast service. I will be back again for a watch repair.

Matt is very informative, clearly knows his craft. It is a pleasure doing business with him!

Knowledgeable and friendly service. I had an issue with a broken watch band and a case back that couldn't be re-inserted by a a mall jeweler. Both issues were quickly resolved within 10 minutes. read more

Tick tock, and my watch stopped. Brought in my vintage Cartier du Must watch that hasn't ticked for 15 years. Thought it was a goner, but Matthew fixed it, and replaced the crystal; looks like new. Be patient, wait, and good things will come, even at a price, but what's cheap these days. My Cartier original watch band still in good condition, and great since shop doesn't repair Cartier bands; only makes your watch tick tock again! Thank you! read more

Repaired my cherished watch to like new working order!! Trust your items to them! Very nice people to deal with!!

I took 3 of my son's watches in because they weren't working. I figured they needed batteries. The service was prompt, efficient and honest. 2 batteries and one broken watch. He told me how I would have to mail it in to get it fixed and let me know what to say. Very helpful and straight forward. I couldn't ask for more. It's my second time there and I will continue to go. I'm read more

Brought in my Cartier for a quick fix. Didn't even look at it and said they don't touch Cartier watches. No explanation or examination at all. I thought "Matt specializes in watches and clocks and works on anything that goes tick-tock!" as per their website. Not more than a one sentence interaction so don't have much to say other than don't bring your Cartier here because they won't even look at it. read more

Great, personal service by the owner. He knows watches and what they need. He's cordial and respectful. I'll definitely return as he also has some beautiful clocks, watches, and jewelry. read more

Stopped in yesterday to see if the owners could try to repair the small band of my Baby G watch to secure it around my wrist as it had fallen off. Unfortunately, they were unable to find a replacement but still provided a small band for me to use. Although I was a bit disappointed, they did a great job addressing my needs and implementing people to wear masks when coming in. Also just an update, their hours on Yelp are inaccurate and they actually close at 4 PM! read more

The Watch Pocket - Watches Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

I just found The Watch Pocket, through Yelp today. Took in my Swiss Army watch I thought was toast, and lost. He put in a new battery, extended the pins a bit so it was looser. It was 15yrs ago since I've worn it. Ha. Voila! My watch is back! It felt like magic. He was friendly/knowledgable -- you just don't come across good folks like this anymore. They are across from the barber shop, in the breezeway. THANK YOU, Matthew! read more

Very fast and friendly. I have used them several times and always satisfied. They are hard to spot from the road

He did a good job of restoring my 100 year old wristwatch and it still runs well. Very friendly and will answer any question you ask, so, don't hesitate to. read more

Attitude of owner--abrasive and condescending. His repairs don't last. I've returned twice for two different clocks.

Matthew has the knowledge to repair wristwatches, pocket watches, clocks of all kinds, Grandfather clocks, mantle clocks, and just about anything that ticks. He's told me not to put money into fixing a pocket watch I believed had some value. It didn't, and had no sentimental value. Thankfully I listened to him. Any business that has been at the very same location for over 50 years with the same owners MUST be doing something right!!! Continued success read more

Amazing service. Matthew is an expert in watches and understanding all the ins and outs of their mechanics. It also helps that he and his family are extremely nice and helpful. This is a gem and I will be frequenting back often. read more

Excellent work - replaced a crystal. Owner is kind, provided great service, and will definitely get my business in the future.

They are amazing. I took 4 watched in for new batteries, 2 not running wrist watches (vintage), a mantel clock that was a wedding gift to my Grandparents in 1900, and a Howard miller wall clock from the 1970's. They told me they could replace the batteries while I waited which was fine. Even though Matt told me the big clocks may not be ready till Spring, I was able to pick them up last week. The wrist watches were ready as well. So far the clocks are all keeping excellent time. I have had some watches and clocks serviced by The Watch Pocket before and will continue to use them. Very good work and customer service. read more

So easy. Walked in with 3 watches to have battery replaced. Did them all really quickly on the spot - got a starbucks coffee while he was working. Also replaced a clasp on a necklace. Very pleasant and efficient. definitely recommend and will use again. read more

Very knowledgeable and always helpful. The owner has repaired my watches and clocks over the years perfectly.

Fantastic watch store with extremely knowledgeable watchmaker on site and excellent prices.

Stopped in to have a watch repaired and after taking a look he said it only needed winding and didn't even charge me for checking it out. I said "that's all?" to which he replied "you'll come back" Yes I will! Excellent customer service!! read more

Had a watch battery replaced here. Service was good. The man who helped me was knowledgeable. I would return!

Great service fast and professional. Easy parking is a Gina's plus. They do jewelry repair also.

Fantastic service from a family owned, local business. They changed my watch battery in about 2 minutes. Their prices were also very reasonable! They also offer jewelry and watch repair and have a few pieces for sale. Super happy with my experience and will be back. Tips: parking in private lot, more spots in the back as the front lot tends to get very congested and fill up fast. read more

I do not think the owners know us but we have been going to this shop for the last 8 years. My Seiko Divers watch (attached picture) was resurrected by their craftsmanship. It took 1-2 weeks for repair but it was worth the wait. We always bring my wife's Swiss-made watch for battery replacement - we can save a lot of money - if we go to the flagship shop in Chevy Chase, they would charge inexplicable amount of money. I really want to thank for their service. read more

Great experience and good prices. Just dropped in to get a watch battery replaced and a band rivet inserted. Took about 10 minutes. The store front is not visible from the front parking lot. It's in the walkway in the center of the building. read more

Just a few words to say how nice this family run business is. I am very pleased that I discovered this watchmaking store front. Matthew is wonderful and I was happy with the service I received with my Tag. I would not hesitate to bring any old or new watch for repair and this shop is almost 20 miles away! Worth the time and effort. Highly recommend. Nice guy. Thank you. read more

So quick and professional (problem diagnosed, battery changed, and watch set -- all in about 40 seconds) it bordered on magic trick. And very personable to boot. read more

GOOD PLACE. Easy to get a battery replaced today. Pleasant service quickly done with a smile. Reasonable prices. Will continue to patronize. This place has survived for years and with a culture of service will continue. read more

I asked for help to change a watch band. I did not buy the watch or the band there and they did it without charge. that's customer service to the max. Highest rating ever! read more

Very professional and quick. Makes me want to look around for more watches I abandoned after they stopped.

The Watch Pocket in 4 Corners is the best clock and watch shop around. Matt Stohlman has a wonderful personality and will go out of his way to help you. amazing new and antique clocks and watches. A good watch and clock repair service is very hard to find these days. But the Watch Pocket is the very best. read more

STOP going to any other watch repair shop. This is the place to come for your watch maintenance. The service is fast, with honest pricing. You also will receive honest communication about your timepiece. Good or bad, it is nice to understand any possible limitations in the movement or in finding secondary straps. So far I have taken the different types of stretches for various services. I have no hesitation in bringing any timepiece to this shop for maintenance. read more

I have never been into the store despite living in then Four Corner's area for the past 10 years. I stopped in to have the links removed in a watch (10$ which I think is very reasonable). They were efficient, and professional. They clearly are very knowledgeable in this field. The store is nothing fancy, but they do everything watch and pocket watch related. Despite it being in the middle of the afternoon on a week day, 5 customers came in while I was there. They are clearly respected and known for their field. They also sell a variety of watches as well. read more

Went in to get a watch battery replaced and was helped by Matthew. He got the battery changed in under 5 minutes for a very reasonable price. I will be coming back. read more

I bought an old watch for my father and managed to mess it up in trying to replace the battery. The Watch Pocket found and fixed the problem in a matter of minutes. SOOOO glad I went here!!!! read more

I have been taken my watches and clocks to 'The Watch Pocket' for at least the last half dozen years. I always get great service, swiftly, and at reasonable prices. They also have a nice selection of jewelry and I bought for my spouse a sapphire there for Valentine's Day that she wore for weeks she liked it so much. They are a family run business and I feel that by bringing my business to them I help keep funds within the local community. I encourage others to bring their clock ware and jewelry needs to them if ever in need of assistance. read more

So I dropped in unannounced with a simple fix. The strap pin on my trusty Seiko literally disintegrated and I needed a replacement. I am not exaggerating in saying that I didn't even have time to start browsing their watch selection before they handed it back to me! Again, I understand it was a simple fix but that was ridiculously fast and you'd be surprised at how other watch repair shops move like a sloth. Thanks guys! OK, so they've passed this test with flying colors! I have a more expensive repair of an old Omega to test them with. In the meantime, I definitely recommend The Watch Pocket! read more
