AVOID THIS PLACE!!! Brought a nice watch in for a simple battery change. The young tech ( if you…read morecan call them that) had a hard time removing the back of the watch and a really tough time putting it back on the watch ( after breaking the gasket and a very exerted effort he forced it on). Both my wife and I just looked at each other in disbelief. When I got home I went to reset the calibration of the watch ( time/date/month/year etc..) and the watch's stem comes right out of the watch into my hand! I couldn't believe it but wasn't surprised considering what I had witnessed at the store. I went back the next day to bring this to their attention and their salesperson Brody who was very rude and accused me of breaking it. They took no responsibility at all and in fact pretty much called me a liar. Brody displayed his rude and poor customer service skills in front of many customers this day...I was truly embarrassed. He finally said that he would send the watch to the service center for an estimate to see what we were up against repair wise .....350$ to fix it! When he called me with the news he was once again confrontational and refused to fix my watch at their expense. I even offered to meet them halfway and he refused again claiming that I broke the watch. I then escalated the matter to the owner/ operator Josh Ellner. I arranged to meet him at his Bedford location. When I arrived and asked to speak to him it was obvious to me that he had already been apprised of the watch and the situation beforehand by Brody and he was already defensive and had no intention of hearing me out. No matter what I said he was not going to take responsibility for his staff and the damage they had caused. Terrible business sense and horrific customer service. This turned out to be a very expensive battery replacement!! STAY CLEAR OF THIS PLACE!!!!! THEY ARE WILLING TO TAKE YOUR MONEY AND TALK A GOOD SCHTICK BUT UNWILLING TO SUPPORT THEIR CUSTOMERS WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE. THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR YOU OR YOUR PROPERTY!! Rating should be zero stars. (also, their batteries don't last as long as from other places...you get what you pay for I guess) I will never trust my precious watches to these incompetents again and I strongly encourage you to do the same.

He did not take this too well. Today, I collected my clock. The owner was with two other customers and kept locking the door, I asked again for him to wear a mask as a courtesy to others,. His response was to yell insults and swear at me, telling me never to return to his store. Paid him for the work, then asked for change. The nerve of me. He gave me change, continued to curse at me and threated me again,' He is a very poor business person, located in a dirty and cluttered little shop, so perhaps he has reason to be angry. Just don't take it out on customers who ask you to wear a mask for their safety and that of others. Will happily comply with the request to not return to the shop and will not be able to do the other things suggested.

The son of the owner was very rude and wouldn't let me see my other cuckoo clock awaiting repair. In total, I had brought in three clocks for repair and ended up paying 2883.05 dollars. Instead of repairing my grandfather clock, they replaced the whole movement without consulting me and thus decreased the authentic value. Now the cuckoo clock does not ring in the hours but the dancers do go around as supposed to do. Have no idea where to go now instead of Germany for a new clock. Very unhappy camper and poorer too.

They have served me and my clock/watch repair and maintenance needs ever since I took my finicky, weird battery set up Frederique Constante watch in for them to give it a go, which they successfully addressed.

I have visited Vina's Jewellers several times in the last few months. The first visit was to see…read moreif they would be able to clean and adjust a Bulova watch that was at least 75 years old. I had approached several other Halifax companies over the last few years, all of whom had discouraged me, suggesting that the watch would never keep time properly, it would have to send it to Montreal for cleaning, and probably wasn't worth the cost or effort. The owner of VIna's eyes brightened when he saw the watch and indicated that he could certainly do the required watch. It was ready on precisely the day he promised and it looks and works perfectly, keeping excellent time. As a result of the success with this watch, I asked about another, quite fine watch, that had lost its watch crystal and, as a result, the hands which were unusually small. I had tried to have this favourite watch repaired various places in the city; one had contacted the company which had made the watch, and they reportedly responded that they no longer had parts for this watch. A company I contacted in Montreal gave a similar response. After several years, I'd given up trying to have the watch repaired, although I had resisted the suggestion from one local company that I just leave it with them for parts. Given the quality of the service Vina's had provided for the Bulova, I left the watch with them to see whether they might be able to do something to fix it. When I returned, the watch was completely restored. The owner had found among his extensive collection of parts both the crystal and the hands; he showed me the original paper work for their purchase dated in the 1980s! This is a truly remarkable shop. An extraordinarily knowledgeable craftsman with a deep love for all things related to watches and clocks. The work was done perfectly and was ready on precisely the day promised. The costs were considerable, but perfectly reasonable for what was done. I have since recommended VIna's to someone who wanted to have a vintage Rolex from the 1940s restored. They too were delighted with the quality of the work and the service. If you have a watch of some value on which you would like work to be done, this is certainly the place to go in Nova Scotia.

However, I don't think one can sustain a shop on a relatively small assortment of timepiece holders. I spoke with the man behind the counter to ask about watch battery pricing. Only $5 and he can do it in a few minutes while you wait - great news! I perused a little further, discovering a wall with larger clocks as well as an assortment of trophies... The space is bright and dated, with inoffensive colors and a very bland overall atmosphere. Plus side: there are a bunch of lovely orchids blooming in the window! Vina's apparently buys scrap gold and jewellery materials, as well as sells some watches and pocket clocks. A strange little store. But thankfully, not I know where to go if I need a watch strap. Phew.

I walked into the store and was greeted with a warm smile by Victoria, who preceded to listen to my watch woes.

I've had numerous bad experiences with this store, because of their constantly changing return…read morepolicies and poor customer service. Most recently, a $300+ mechanical watch failed (from what I can tell) due to the poor quality of the Fossil movement. When bought new, from this very store, in 2016 I was informed that it came with an 11 year warranty. Now, when I take it in 5 years later with a problem that should 100% be covered (according to their watch warranty coverage) I am told their watches only carry a 2 year warranty and that I'm out of luck. Basically, Fossil's warranty means absolutely nothing, because they will always find a way to weasel their way out of it. The salesperson I spoke to was clearly on autopilot, regurgitating their BS line on this. I'm sure she is well practiced, considering they must get a lot of these complaints sure to the shifting warranties and poor quality of the products. I'm never buying anything from Fossil again, and will make sure to advise anyone I know to do the same.
