I've been moonlighting as a "watch repair guy" these past few months, which basically means I've…read morebeen breaking things and calling it "fixing." It was a total hit or miss--mostly miss. Then I got a new watch and realized what I actually needed wasn't more YouTube tutorials... it was professional help. Enter: Time Essentials! The second I walked in, I was greeted with kindness and service so good I half expected them to offer me snacks too. John (pretty sure he's the owner, but I'm also convinced he might secretly be a time wizard) went above and beyond fixing three of my watches. Prices? Totally fair. Speed? He fixed them in under 10 minutes--faster than it takes me to find the "skip ad" button on YouTube. Safe to say, I'll definitely be coming back. If your watch is broken, don't waste months pretending you're a horologist like I did. Just go to Time Essentials. HIGHLY recommend!

He said 30-minutes. I left and when I came back he said he forgot the charge to clean the one watch so it's $100. I refused and he quickly said $60 is okay. The watch he cleaned has the gold worn off since he ran it through the machine even though he said he wouldn't and would just use liquid and buff with a cloth. NEVER AGAIN. He tried to scam me out of 40 more dollars just to see if I would. Horrible service.
