First review I have written, but this is very well deserved! Had a grandfather clock I thought might need some major repairs, and reassembly after 2 moves. Had not been working for several years, so I really didn't know what to expect.. Called TimeKeepers based on their 5 star Yelp rating. Mario set up an early AM house call for 2 days later. Arrived on time--you could tell he was of the old world craftsman mold--extremely knowledgeable and patient in explaining what was going on. Turns out the clock did not need any major or minor repairs--Mario was meticulous in cleaning, oiling/greasing the mechanisms and reassembly, and fine-tuning. Works perfectly now--and with a two year warranty! And at least a 5 star rating for the exceptionally fair price for the service! read more

Can't say enough good about Timekeepers. They're inexpensive, helpful, and exemplary as a small business. Thanks guys. read more

Incredible display of clocks and timepieces, although not for sale. Super quick afforable great service. Highly reccommed if you just need to fix your watch or change the battery! read more

Excellent work, good prices. Nice people. They may come off as gruff at first, but if is a facade, they are great. Will not let anyone else touch my watches. Highly skilled and TRUSTWORTHY. read more

Amazing customer service! Needed my wall clock repaired and my husbands wood watch crystal attached. Dropped off on a Tuesday and it ready to pick up by Thursday the same week. They did both for $25 great deal. They take cash at time of pick up. read more

Recently brought in my fathers IWC watch to get fixed for his birthday. Been going here for years. They are awsome very rare to find a small shop like this anymore where they are fare and treat you right no mater what day or time. This is one of the few shops left that i trust what they tell me about my watches and dont have to worry about being ripped off. Would recomend this store to anyone. read more

Outstanding customer service, quick turn around time for work, very reasonably priced. I had my watched sized on the spot for free, the lady behind me had batteries replace on the spot for $5/each. I am definitely going back when I need more watch work done. read more

I went for a band adjustment and it was simple and easy. Parking is a little tricky . It's on the main street but the service is great.

Amazing find. After spending an insane amount of money and time at a watch place in the UTC mall (and the watch was still not working), a neighbor recommended Timekeepers. Fast, friendly, and fixed it for $6! Highly recommend. read more

Excellent shop, If you have anything mechanical that keeps track of time you must stop by this shop. The shear selection is breathtaking. Was shocked to find he even had old Military aviation gauges. Very impressed and the customer service was outstanding. Very friendly local family owned business! read more

I'll only replace my batteries here! Loyal customer for life. You must bring cash, but they trust you to return with payment if you forget!

What an amazing find! I was in town, visiting my boyfriend's parents and I needed an extra link put in my watch. (pregnancy will do that to you)! I was driving down the street and we saw Timekeepers. I was hesitant to take my Rolex to a non Rolex shop, but I figured it was just links. When I got to the shop, there were about 5 people in line. The store is tiny, filled with loads of cool clocks. I was expecting there to be a long wait, but the gentleman helping everyone was lightening fast! I gave him my extra links and he had the watch fixed in about 3 minutes. He then handed it back to me and said, "No Charge." No charge???!!! We don't know those words in Los Angeles! I was floored. This place is so wonderful and realizes the importance of customer service. The lady in front of me had her batter changed out for free as well. I really appreciate this kind of business and would recommend this shop to anyone! They are obviously skilled at what they do and I'm so glad I found this place! read more

This business encapsulates what we have lost in Encinitas and everywhere for that matter. A true Mom and Pop business with amazing service and heart. I hope places like this don't completely disappear. The gentleman here fixed my watch very quickly. I asked how much and he kindly said, "Don't worry about it." I have been referring people since and will continue to bring my business here. Keep small and local businesses alive. read more

Great service, friendly, quick. Highly recommend for any watch repair or service needs.

I was searching on Yelp for a good watch repair place. Went to Timekeepers today and met Mario. He replaced a battery and put on 2 new straps for my watches. His professional demeanor and good vibes are for real. Don't go anywhere else. read more

This business is amazing. I have been going here for years to get watches and clocks fixed. It is old school style amazing mom and pop service. Highly recommended! read more

Of course this is a 5-star review. Why would it be any different? Went in to get my watchband repaired. At first I thought I needed a part and they couldn't get it, but it didn't and they fixed it. Then he hands me the watch and says no charge. I said nope that isn't going to happen I can't accept free work, you will go out of business. He grabs my watch and says you can't pay me otherwise I will keep your watch or something like that. I tried to pay him. They are crazy to do this for free. These guys are the best.. seriously read more

I recently moved to Carlsbad from Tucson AZ and have been looking for place to do my watch work. I was given a recommendation for a shop in the JC Penny plaza in Carlsbad. He replaced my watch crystal and said I needed a new internal mechanism which I agreed to have the work done. Within 2 months my watch stopped working so I was looking for a new shop since this one went out of business, understandably! I searched Yelp and found Timekeepers in Encinitas. I just returned from having two watch batteries replaced and he fixed the other problem with my watch at no charge. He only charged me $12.00 for the replacement of the two batteries. All this work was done while I waited. While I was there, a woman came in with a problem with her watch, band pins falling out. He fixed her problem and said no charge, have a nice day! I highly recommend the Timekeepers for all your watch needs. read more

Six stars! They'll charge you $5 for a new watch battery. They charged my husband nothing for a replacement rubber watch band and told him to go home when he went in to have his Breitling watch cleaned and oiled--said it was a waste of dough. So these gentlemen will not gouge you for unnecessary "maintenance" on expensive watches, like many higher end jewelers in North San Diego county do. If in doubt, simply ask them for their advice. They're great. The store is pretty cool too--it's full of old grandfather and cuckoo clocks. read more

Really kind people and excellent service. Changed my watch battery for me in less than five minutes. If you live in the Cardiff or Encinitas area, I would highly recommend going to Timekeepers for all of your watch and clock repairs. Also they have an awesome collection of vintage watches and clocks! read more

For five dollars, they will instantly replace your watch battery! I've been going here my entire life and always send others their way when in need of watch services. Glad to have this little shop so close to home. read more

This place has been here a long time and it's awesome. There are tons of grandfather clocks and all sorts of vintage looking timepieces inside it's a really unique store. Whenever I've needed to get a watch resized or get a new battery I've come here and the place looks more or less the same as it did 15 years ago. Cash only and the prices are very reasonable and the guys are so friendly, just read the other reviews. Anything related to watches or clocks they can help you out here, great store. read more

I read these reviews and they are spot on. I've been taken many watches here to get bands and batteries replaced for years. Apparently the charge for battery replacement has been $5 since the 1990s. They some how stay in busines. The first time I took my watch in to get the battery replaced. I wanted to use my credit card but the owner said they don't take credit cards. I offered to write a check instead. The man smiled and said "Don't worry about it. You can pay me when you have cash." Fast forward a year later, I had to replace another battery watch. Again the charge was $5. I gave him $15 and told him to keep the change. He replied he couldn't do that. I said that I owned for the battery change last year plus interest. He laughed and thanked me. I highly recommend this business. read more

These guys are awesome!!!! I was in the area and had three watches that needed new batteries. They would not replace the battery in my G-shock due to the water resistant gasket also needing replaced, but I'm OK with that. At least they didn't try to do it and I'm out a watch. Since I was in there I asked about having a few links removed from a watch I was wearing at the time. They were more than happy to help me out. In less than 5 minutes I was wearing a watch that actually fit, had two more watches in working order, and was only out $10. I am extremely happy!!! read more

Stated simply, Timekeepers is a great place for watch repair. The owner replaced two batteries in about 5 minutes and charged me a very fair price. He's old school; I watched him fix a clasp for a customer no charge. Reward this man with your patronage read more

Quality, Trusting and Timely all at the right price! I tell and will tell all my friends to take their watch repair business to Timekeepers. Thank you! read more

Myself and my family have been going here since I was a child and by far they are the most honest and respectable company I have ever done business with. They are extremely efficient and knowledgable in their profession. I would recommend them to anybody. Best family owned business. read more

I have been going to TImekeepers for your years for watch battery and repair. Marion the owner is beyond helpful and kind!

All these 5 star ratings are true....these guys know how to run a business and keep customers happy and coming back. They know their stuff and know how to treat people too. I only wish they could teach other kinds of store owners how to run their businesses...these guys have me hooked...I will always remember where to go for honest, fast service for watch and clock repair. THANKS Timekeepers! read more

Run do not walk to get any help you might need for your clock related needs. Mario came to our home to fix an old grandfather clock that has been in the family for years. The movers broke a piece trying to put it back together he barely looked at it and knew right what to do. Had it fixed in a flash and it is working great. You know when you are in the hands of a pro and that is how you will feel when you are working with Timekeepers. read more

Top-notch! My husband received a nice watch as a gift and attempted to resize it himself. One hour and a broken link later, he decided it was probably a good idea to have it done by a professional instead. I took the watch in to Timekeepers and they sized and fixed it within a minute. The gentleman behind the counter handed it back to me and said "have a nice day." I asked how much I owed and he refused to let me pay anything. They have my business moving forward and I couldn't recommend them enough! read more

One of the top five best business transactions in my life. They work quickly, their friendliness is only exceeded by their awesome sense of humor, and you can't beat their prices. I went in ten minutes before closing on a Saturday to have a watch resized and the battery replaced. Five bucks, a joke, and a handshake. Even set the time and date for me. I'm sort of looking forward to the next time my watch goes kaput. read more

These guys are awesome. Gave me a quick fix on my antique clock and showed me how to properly operate it and wouldn't accept payment for it. A+ read more

Wonderful customer service! Got one watch band adjusted and another one's battery checked, and didn't have to pay a thing! Will never go anywhere else to get my watches serviced! read more

I went in for a new keeper and battery for a watch. This place was great. It took 10 minutes and only cost a few bucks. I couldn't have asked for anything more. read more

Reviews are spot on. I've been there twice. Once to have links replaced in a ceramic watch that broke and once to replace battery. He never wants to charge me. I usually just slip a 5 or 10 on the counter and sneak out. Today I'm going back to have links removed from another watch. I'll probably have to be sneaky again. The man is efficient and just as sweet as he could be. How he stays in business is beyond me! Not sure who posted the photo with the operating hours (which is what I was originally looking for) but a big thank you for doing that. :-) read more

Awesome experience at this place every time I've needed watch services. Well deserved 5 star. !!!

Changed the leather band on my nixon in 2 minutes! Only had to pay for the band price ($15).

This is the best place around to take your watches for any reason. This place is family owned and operated for a very long time now and all the guys there are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Half the time I can't get them to take my money for a band adjustment. I would recommend this place to anyone needing watch care or upgrades. read more

Replace your watch battery for $5 in less than three minutes? It seems impossible, but it's true here. We've brought in expensive and casual watches. They are all $5. read more
