Superb expert service! Uncanny knowledge, proficiency and expertise that can only come with years of experience. They advise with no hard sell, friendly and above all they're honest!! read more

Timekeepers is great - they've handled repairs and battery changes for us quickly and reasonably. Highly recommended.

Walking into Timekeepers is like walking into an old friend's home. The soothing sound of actual clocks, lots of clocks, softly "tick tocking" their way into the future. For those who love clocks, like the friendly owners, the sight and sounds of the Grandfather clocks, the ornate clocks, and the simple clocks is a journey into a time of craftsman and family heirlooms. I have been going there for a very long time, but have not gone in since the pandemic. I swung by to have a watch band post changed. They fixed it immediately and did not charge me. It is neither because they necessarily remembered me nor because I do a lot of business with them, but because they, like their clocks, harken back to a forgotten time when business was about more than simple profit. I would recommend a trip there to replace your watch battery, look at the watches, clocks, etc they have to sell and enjoy... read more

Highly recommend them! Two brothers they are old school and work on all watches from Swatches to high-end brands: HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Timekeepers - Watches Near Me - Encinitas, California

We have been going to Timekeepers for about 10 years, once we discovered them. Their instant battery replacement for $5, now $7, has brought us back again and again. Today, I went in with a new watch and new watch band and asked them to put it on. Required two tries as my wrist is very thin. Expecting to pay at least the $7, maybe more, they said no charge and have a nice holiday. WOW !! read more

I have a beautiful Omega that's been in need of a battery for a while. The place I used to take it to didn't make it through lockdowns. I found Timekeepers and it was a wonderful find! First he changed the battery in just a couple minutes - less time than the other place would take to write up a work order, and then his price was less than I've EVER paid to have someone even look at my favorite watch. And to top it off, he was honest about my watch and gave me care tips that NO ONE ever did before. Thank you for giving my watch a new heartbeat and for giving me hope that it will have many years of service with just a little TLC. read more

I went to Timekeepers needing a watch battery (which of course they handled) but while I waited for their quick work I saw and explored the largest collection of good-condition longcase and mechanical clocks I've ever seen outside of Zurich. I no longer own a longcase clock (too many moves) but if I wanted to buy another, I would travel to this store from New York or Montreal to make the purchase. Wow. I didn't see a Seiko quartz clock anywhere in the store, but they might possibly stock such things should you want one. read more

Will never take my watches anywhere else. Really great service, fast, efficient & so very reasonably priced. They don't even charge if you watch is beyond repair. Highly recommended. read more

Lovely fellows. Highly recommend!!!Totally reasonable pricing, do not go snywhere else!!!

Just needed a size adjustment on my new watch. They were very busy, but worked with all of the customers politely, professionally, and in a timely manner. read more

He took the links off the watch in a matter of minutes and showed me how to set the watch. Battery changes are always fast and he makes it look so easy. When it's really busy, he always tells me to come back later, but it's still always earlier than I expected. read more

I love this family-run and operated small business. They are very friendly and can solve or fix any problem you have with a clock or a watch. I have one old watch that has a really difficult to change battery, and these guys change it for $6. A great little business. I will always take all my watch and clock business to them. read more

Great Shop. Great Service. Great People! It's rare these days to find a company which understands customer service. These guys do! read more

I always receive great and friendly service at Time Keepers Encinitas. I am a repeat customer that makes an effort to go to this location when ever I have issues with my watch or antique clock. read more

Amazing amazing place! The best for watch repairs, resizing, whatever you need. They are so nice and friendly! They don't accept credit/debit cards but they were nice enough to let me leave with my watch and a promise to return!! Cannot recommend enough. Such a great business! read more

This place has stood the test of time(pun intended), it must have been at least half a decade since visiting this shop. The same service I received is the exact same service I experienced during my recent visit. A little bit of humor, extreme efficiency, and the friendliest service around. Because I now use a smart watch, my Nixon was in storage for a long time but I have been feeling a little bit need of a change so I went in for an update! I highly recommend stopping in for a watch adjustment or battery change. read more

I rarely write reviews but the service I received from Timekeepers was so remarkable that I feel obligated to post this one. I took my 30 year old important-to-me but probably worthless retirement gift wrist watch to Timekeepers for repair only to find out the entire mechanism needed replacement. This would be the second time in the long life of this watch that it needed a new "engine". Not only did Timekeepers repair it at an extremely reasonable rate they cleaned the band without asking. I'll going back to his business anytime I have an excuse to do so. Roy Nedrow Carlsbad, Ca. read more

Nice service to change a battery in my wife's Gucci watch. They gave us some background on the watch and it's stylistic influence. Great place! read more

The guys are really nice, unfortunately my Timex didn't have a battery problem (which would be replaced for a $6, try to replace your battery for this money at the Carlsbad Mall). It doesn't make sense to repair Timex, it's already second watch with the same problem, it's keeping my time slowing by a few minutes, so each time I have to adjust it. Do not buy Timex watches, but remember this place to change your battery (cash only) or to fix your cuckoo clock. read more

Family owned business that brings old world honesty and craftsmanship to what they do - which is, repair and sell watches and clocks. Their primary business is probably replacing watch batteries, which they do efficiently, quickly and inexpensively. People come in almost every ten minutes for watch battery replacements. They also repair or practically rebuild clocks, everything from small desktop ones to grandfathers. As well, they will adjust watch bands, in some cases if it is cost feasible, repair quartz watches and perform minor repairs on mechanical watches (for more complex repairs of mechanical wrist watches, or quartz watches that have broken down completely, you'll need to find someone in the Jeweler's Exchange in downtown San Diego, go to an authorized dealer, or ship your watch in to the manufacturer). They also sell some watches, a lot of watch bands, and many, many clocks. Everything is done here with a smile. They won't charge you for minor things like band adjustments and such, even if you try to force money on them. Really gentlemanly, nice proprietors, hope they stay in business a long time. There is no comparable shop anywhere in San Diego, in any line of business, including of course, for anything to do with watches and clocks. read more

This is the best place to get a battery replaced in your watch. Be prepared to pay cash but so worth it. I have been going here for years and will continue as long as they are open. read more

After reading the reviews, I decided to go to TimeKeepers to fix my son's watch which was really a one of a kind watch and very important to him. I wanted to just by purchase another watch for him but I've learned that sentimental value goes a long way with memories from a young age. (It was a Spiderman watch but it was how he got it that was also important to him.) Anyways, the shop keeper was straight to the point and fixed the watch no problem. I didn't think it would be a problem but I came here because of the good reviews. The best advice I read on Yelp was to bring cash so I was prepared to pay in cash. I am not one to carry cash much anymore to that was good advice. My son broke another one of his watches so, you guessed it, I went to TimeKeepers again to have it fixed. I noticed this Yelp page is "Unclaimed" which seems to go along with the shop keepers values of not looking for attention for himself but just to provide good service. Very good service! read more

Great service. What a great service. The gentleman know exactly what was wrong and he took care of it in minutes. Thank you timekeeper. read more

These guys are funny, down to Earth and know their stuff. I'm the midst of fear-mongering and social control these guys still treat each and every customer with respect and professionalism . I paid $6.00 for a watch battery. A 1970"s circa Buliva that was my late moms. I love the clock collection too. So many interesting beauties to look at while waiting. read more

Timekeepers - Moms watch - Watches Near Me - Encinitas, California

Very knowledgeable guys who are friendly and operate quickly, at extremely reasonable prices. On my last visit, they sized a bracelet for me within minutes and didn't even charge me. I will bring all off my watches to them for service going forward. read more

Does watch bracelet attachments for free. However, owner was quite rude when dealing with us. Felt like a hassle trying to just get a watch band that fit my watch and I ended up just leaving because it was such a hassle. read more

I went in to get a watch resized, and they were incredibly quick and affordable. I highly recommend them to anyone in North County who needs work done on a watch! You can tell they are family ran an extremely knowledgeable. read more

The guys here are super amazing and really nice. They charge $6 for a new battery for a watch and the guy who changed my battery even polished the front of my watch for me since he had noticed some scratches. Just a heads up, they do only accept cash here so keep the plastic in the wallet and visit an ATM before visiting. read more

Nope! I recently purchased a Swiss Made watch from a private seller and someone who was in attendance recommended this place to me if I ever needed to get a watch serviced. My watch watch is actually running great so I did not need service but I wanted to have the watch tested on a time grapher (a machine that listens to the tick tick of a mechanical watch) to check overall health off the watch. The gentleman told me he could not use his machine because the printer was "out of paper" to which I said "I don't need a printout" and then he said "it won't work without paper". Um ok...moving forward. Then I asked if he could run a pressure (waterproof) test so I could check the seal to which he answered "not on modern watches". - I almost could not believe that came out of his mouth! - I've had these tests run before on my other timepieces but I decided to not challenge that false statement because at this point I got the sense he really didn't want to help me at all. read more

These guys are amazing! I got my watches sized here. They would not let me give them money. They said they don't charge for watch sizing. And when I tried to leave money they walked out and handed it back to me. I'll be back here for sure to fix al of my watches. They have so many beautiful clocks and watches everywhere. read more

I always want to return there, The service is superior and the price low. I usually don't have any fixing, but as soon as I get some, I'll take it there. read more

I just realized I haven't reviewed this place yet. I have been coming here since I was a little kid! We have always used them. Love these guys. I have taken every brand of watch here (except the Audmer's) but that's understandable. They have taken links out, replaced batteries for free in 2 seconds for 25 years! They are never too busy for a customer, even when there is a line. They are always calm and will tell you if they can't fix something or if it's not worth fixing. I can't say enough about the integrity of these men and their work. Truly the best in the business. I am blessed to have them so close and available. I'll wait for weeks until I go to Encinitas to take my watch to them. read more

I have a very nice mechanical watch that requires occasional maintenance and repair. I've tried a lot of different place, and was really happy to find Timekeepers. They are reliable, fast, and provide a good value. read more

You will find an amazing business with a steady line of customers. Quick easy answers willing to talk to about your watch or clock issues. Bring cash no credit cards. I have used them for many years. read more

If you expect a fancy schmancy watch/clock shop, this ain't it. This is a true, old-world style, mom and pop shop where they provide specialized service. The two men owning it are artisans and experts at what they do. They are also nice people; one day I wanted two watch batteries and when I gave them my debit card they told me they do not take plastic; they told me to still get the batteries and pay them next time I am around. Amazing! Needless to say, and despite their wonderful gesture, I went to a nearby ATM and got cash out. Highly recommend Timekeepers. read more

Wenever i need to have something done with my watch, this is the place to go. They are competent, friendly and low priced. I just got a new watch band which came with directions and tools. Rather than spend the time to figure out how to adjust it, i came to Timekeepers, and, it was done in a few minutes. This place is a go to when u have watch or clock issues and other stuff that they can fix. Very impressive. read more

Go here for any watch and clock repairs. The owner is ethical, reasonable and knows his stuff. Wonderful for our neighborhood!

The best people around, my family has been coming here for 3 generations now. These guys know their stuff AND are great people

Honest and reliable service. I always go to Timekeepers whenever needed. Highly recommend. read more
