    I've taken 11 watches to Cesar for repair and for new batteries. Each tine he has been professional, courteous, attentive and honest. I even took my Citizen Titanium Solar-Tech to get repaired and he recommended to leave it with him for a few days to see if msybe it was in need of a good solar charge and not a repair. He was right. He could have easily charged me over $100 to reapir but his honest way of doing business was to let me know thay it wasn't needed and no charge. And he offers a great value with his rewards card for getting new batteries. Also ever time he did a battery change I just left it with him and came back after an hour or so. Everything was ready.

    Asked for a watch regulation due to my Seiko running slow out of the box. After over a week I was given a broken watch (doesn't run at all) and a big scratch on my case back. Texts are not being returned so I assume he broke the watch and tried to fix it but couldn't. Highly do not recommend trusting your watch here...

    Excellent good brand of watches here, I contacted Watch defense. to see if they could can change batteries on some of my watches. They were extremely helpful. I came in and spoke with Cesar who helped me out. He was very helpful and that he even went as far as telling me that some of my watches needed multiple batteries. Since there was a lot of batteries that needed replaced, Cesar even offer to give me a good deal in helping me decide to go with the service. Overall, this is a great place to go get your watch and jewelry done. I would recommend this to anyone. Great job guys!

    Little unassuming kiosk is great for servicing watches. No need to take your analog watch to a jewelry store!

    He changed a battery on my Shinola and fixed the clasp on my Breguet and I was on my way in less than 15 minutes.

    I read the reviews and made an appointment. Learned that…read moreBravo was recently voted an award as being the best in Carlsbad. Best decision I've made lately! Bravo helped me buy my wife of 30 years a beautiful new diamond ring. We had the pleasure of working with Ms. Raven and she presented so many wonderful options to go with. She did a terrific job recommending design options that looked best on my wife's hand. In short I'm going back soon to visit bravo to get their help in redesigning and repurposing the old ring.. Thanks Bravo Jewellers you really earned that award! Rick from Carlsbad

    Bravo is truly incredible. I honestly don't even have the words. Katherine was an absolute saint…read moreand helped make a lifelong dream come true. I came in with a very special vision for my engagement ring and wanted to incorporate my maternal family members into a timeless design. We stopped by Bravo on a whim, with no intention of committing to anything, just to browse and gather ideas. From the moment we met Katherine, we were completely won over. She listened carefully, absorbed every detail of our feedback, and helped us bring the vision to life. I shared that I wanted to incorporate diamonds from both of my grandmothers' rings, and she absolutely exceeded every expectation. After trying on a few different shapes, we scheduled a second visit the following week. When we returned, Katherine had prepared full 3D renderings of three different designs based solely on what I had described verbally. She even had wax molds of all three so I could try on the shapes and sizes to truly understand how the ring would feel before finalizing the design. My fiancé ultimately surprised me with the ring of my dreams, and it was everything I could have ever hoped for. The centerpiece is a stunning, substantial oval diamond, with my grandmothers' diamonds beautifully cascading along the band. It is truly the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. I am beyond grateful for the care, creativity, and dedication the Bravo team put into every step of this process.
