I needed to get my watch's battery replaced and I came here because of all the positive reviews. $10 to get a battery replacement in less than 10 minutes? Honestly, it was so fast! There were no scratches or anything that I could see after and the clock is working just fine after a few days. I'm not sure what other services they offer, but there were four people working when I went there at what I consider to be a slow time (Sunday 6pm), so they must be doing well here. read more

I took my Brietling Areospace to a local watch repairman and it was returned to me inoperable. I could not turn the stem to set the time and the digital display was dark. I sent the Brietling to Brietling.com and they recommended a complete service near $1000. I wasted a week and shipping costs. I went to World Time and gave the manager my watch and he said, "Please wait here..." I thought I was waiting for an estimate and was fine with that. Instead a watch technician came out to me and handed me by wonderful Brietling working. He said, "there was a dry seal and I replaced it and installed a new battery. Try it!!" It worked like it was 20 years younger.... Everything took less than 15 minutes and at a price much lower than expected. I was, and remain, very impressed with this business..... read more

My husband wanted a new band for his Daniel Wellington watch and we did not want to drive out to Palo Alto (Bloomingdales) for a new one. An employee at Nordstrom Valley Fair recommended us to check out this place, and we're sure glad we did! We were in and out of the store within 10 minutes, and they even helped put the new ($25) band on his watch. Definitely will be back for any watch needs! read more

The team was hospitable (offered refreshments while I waited) and worked diligently for a $10 band adjustment. Note: parking is limited, and there is a nail salon attached to the repair shop (so maybe get a manicure while you have watch repaired) read more

My dad has been going here for years and loves the service that Son provides for both Omega and Cartier watches! I came in here today to get a battery change and it was so quick and simple. 10 minutes in and out and I was done. The seating area is very clean and simplistic. The chairs are quite cushiony as well. They also sell watch bands and assist with all your watch needs! I saw some one else come in with some more difficult tasks and he seemed very pleased when he left. Will definitely be back for any other of my watch needs! read more

Great spot for all your watch servicing needs! One of my dress watches is a Rado since I like the slim profile with tuxes/suits. Unfortunately, it has a pressurized back plate that I cannot change myself. These guys are the only shop I know of in town that can handle it! definitely the place to go for all your mid to high end watches. read more

Mr. Son is a terrific guy who's professional, knowledgeable and most importantly, honest. My Rolex 2020 Kermit had a water damage and Mr. Son was able to provide the proper repair and attentive service to my needs. Highly recommend his business to anyone who needs to have their precious watches detailed. read more

I purchased a watch that was way too big for my wrist and needed tools to resize it. I called to ask if they did this service and the guy said yes and it would be $10.00. I went there this morning, staff were all very friendly and he went to work on resizing it with his tools, took less than 5 minutes and it was $10.00 as promised. I was in and out and will definitely be back for sizing or repair needs in the future. read more

I took my brand new Tudor to Son to have it resides. Service is quick and at a reasonable price.

Absolutely the best Rolex repair shop in the Bay Area. I have had several serviced and always very happy!

I needed help with my watch band because I couldn't figure out how to attach the clasp. The person there helped me without hesitation for the small ask. He was so so nice. I'll go back again. Please support them. read more

World Time - Watch Repair Near Me - San Jose, California

Outstanding customer service. Fast, good price, very clean and relaxing. The people that works there are very kind.

I cam here to resize the Watch and change battery. First, I think the guys was very honest about what I need to do, and explain thing very detail and not just do the work and don't say anything. He charged me 10$ for changing the battery and 10$ for resize the Watch. I was able to look through the glass window when they did the work. He was very careful. I definitely will be back here for the Watch services. read more

My Datejust 1603 was running about an hour slow. I bought it used and don't know the service history. I found World Time through the Rolex forum and decided to try because of the good reviews. The owner, Son, is very friendly and knowledgeable. I got my watch back before the estimated date and it's running great. I will bring my other watches to Son for service. read more

BEST watch repair in the bay! The staff is incredibly nice and very easy to talk to, they fix anything you need and are so quick about it as well! read more

I called a couple places to get 4 watches repaired. I assumed all 4 watches had the same battery issue. Other watch repair places quoted me for much more than I ended up paying at World Time. Great value! One watch they weren't able to fix because it was a mechanical issue that may need to go to that brands repair shop. But the service was great. I dropped the watches off, grabbed a coffee and came back 20 min later, paid and left. Easy peasy! Thank you World Time! read more

Very good works. Result is great on a 1900 Rolex Daydate. I had crown, tube and stem replaced. read more

I would consider myself a watch collector, I own a collection of watches that range from expensive to very expensive, and most need batteries replaced after a couple of years. It's been a while since I had batteries replaced and slowly one by one died, so I was left with wearing a limited collection from day to day. I did some research and found World Time, you guessed it, on Yelp. I simply don't trust everyone with my watches, but with 4.5 stars and solid reviews, I knew I was in good hands. I went by and was greeted with a smile. I immediately knew that this guy loved watches as much as I do, when his face expression had curiosity all over it waiting to see what I brought in. He filled out a receipt and when I reviewed it, the writing simply stated four watch battery replacement. I asked him about the details of my watches and he just pointed up at the security camera and said no worries, we know exactly what you dropped off. How cool is that? I felt like I was at a casino gambling table with eyes watching over me. I dropped off four watches on Saturday and I was told to pick them up on Monday, now that is fast. I called another shop and they had to send them to the manufacturer, which would take four to six weeks. Are you kidding me?!? These guys are experts, we chatted about our watch interests and he showed me a watch that was valued at $40k with a repair price of $1k. If people trust him with their ridiculously expensive watch repairs, I definitely trust a battery replacement. He explained to me that other repair shops use cheap Energizer batteries that don't last as long and tend to leak. He uses Renata watch batteries that are more expensive and very reliable. When I arrived on Monday, all was fine except that one of my watches needed cleaning, like most chronograph watches. Based on my experience here, I will be bringing it back for cleaning very soon even though is was appraised at $350. read more

World Time - Watch Repair Near Me - San Jose, California

World Time has moved its physical location a few times on Stevens Creek Blvd. during the time I've used them, but their service and quality have been consistent and outstanding. I've been a customer since 2013 (eight years as of the date of this review), and one thing has always been clear -- World Time takes pride in their work no matter how large or small the job. I've used them for everything from complete movement servicing, case refinishing and restoration, down to simple adjustments on steel bracelets. Their prices are reasonable and the quality of their work is excellent. read more

Highly recommend for a watch battery replacement. They are open, quick and no fuss, no hassle. $10 per watch. World Time shares a space with a hair salon. They have their own secure parking lot. Easy in & out. read more

World Time is the best! Found my Ferragamo F-80 Automatic chronograph watch suddenly stopped working and trying to figure out how to deal with it. The warranty was long expired. Searching internet found free estimate available in New York but didn't feel comfortable to go through that route. Decided to search yelp and found World Time is very close with great feedback's and also offer free estimate. Stopped by yesterday morning and was told it would take 10 to 15 minutes to let me know what's wrong and the cost to fix. In about 10 minutes, came back and hand me back the watch, FIXED and RUNNING. "The cause was a loose part, I put it back.", he told me. I asked him how much was the cost and he told me, "FREE." I was really surprised with their superb repair skill, quickly identified the problem and was willing to do a FREE FIX for a first time new customer. What an excellent professional shop! I'm totally committed that World Time is my watch repair shop to go from now on. I strongly recommend World Time to everyone with no reservation. read more

I visited mr. Son again for complete service and overhaul including a little issue with the oscillating rotor on my rolex 16618 F serial. As always mr. Son gladly help me with all my questions about repair on watch. After 4 weeks of labor period he called me to let me know my watch is ready for pick up. Definently WORLDTIME is one of the best watch repair shop in the bay area. Always very affordale and true prices. Highly recommended store. My watch now looks like brand new and pristine condition. I see you WORLDTIME next time for another watch project read more

Son is unbelievably cool!!!!! He checked my fake omegas fresh from Philippines...!! Tightened up the screws like a pro and wouldn't take my money!?!?! I have been to other watch repair places that charged me $8-15 for a simple pin tighten or band lengthening... That's not cool... I have been inspired and decided to treat myself with a real "timepiece" and will be bringing it to My man Son Nguyen to adjust. However he will have to accept some $$ from me Seriously the best experience at his shop..my "watch" friends go there.. All pros !!! read more

World Time - Front side - Watch Repair Near Me - San Jose, California

This place is awesome! I came in expecting an hour before closing thinking that I might have to pick up my watch tomorrow, but he was able to change the battery and tighten the clasp in less than ten minutes! He is so fast and skilled. He takes great care of my watch. He charged me 15 for the battery and 10 for the clasp. Great prices. I had the price for a battery replacement quoted at Fast Fix Watch Repair and to replace a Gucci watch battery was 35 bucks!! Don't ever go to store chains. You will be happy with the service! read more

Excellent service . I went to do a minor adjustment to my watch strap which comes off easily . The service was quick and efficient and they didn't even charge me. I'll definitely come back read more

I am pretty satisfied with the service from World Time because they helped me change the battery on my watch three times (twice for free since it broke so quickly after I changed it the last time) and finally diagnosed why my battery was dying so quickly in my watch. They were professional and accommodating as well as very timely. Recommended! read more

I hope my girlfriend doesn't read this because she said she would not hang out with me, if I ever got a gold watch. But, it's my birthday month and I deserve presents. So, I got myself a gold watch! I have tiny wrists so I needed it re-sized. These guys are pretty amazing, since they only looked at my wrist, and was able to re-size it based on that. They were also super nice and fast. I was a bit worried that it was going to be expensive, but it was only $10 dollars. A pretty good deal since I have paid more in the past at other places. If my girlfriend does see this review, she should come here and get me the Cartier watch for Christmas. read more

Very knowledgeable, responsive & polite people. Recommend place for your watch service - especially automatic watch service & repair. read more

Very professional, great communications including a few pictures of my watch fully disassembled texted to me. Wow. I took in my 9 year old Rolex Submariner Two Tone (affectionately known as "bluesy" in rolex enthusiast world) and of course I wanted to take it to a reputable shop. This business came highly recommended by a few friends who have had work done on their high end jobs. I had already used this location to help authenticate a couple of old rolexes that I was looking to buy (for friends etc.), and I knew the owner 'Son' from meeting him casually a couple of times. Seeing some pictures of similar submariner to mine on their Yelp page helped with feeling more comfortable with the business. Also realized that some well known jewelers in the shopping mall (some of which I had bought my earlier rolex watches from) used to use this shop's services to service their customer's watches. Left my watch with them, At the drop off, Son did a great job of capturing the status of my watch and showed me slight chips in crystal etc. that I didn't even know my watch had. This is basically to cover their shop from any false claims and any problems later on, which is great. The price was very reasonable (around 60% of the RSC in San Francisco), with a 3 year warranty which no one in this business offers, and better turnaround time. Yesterday I was called and told that my watch is ready for pick up. It looks and feels great. All mechanism (winding, changing time by movement of hands, etc.) seem well lubricated and it feels like a ... well, Rolex watch again. I am a customer for life now. read more

I turned in 5 wrist watches and they got it done right away for good $$! I highly recommend this repair shop. I was told they are moving to Bascom soon, but will still have the same business name. read more

Super nice family owned shop. Lovely new location shared with a nail salon. Recommend

Had 2 watches with the batteries dead. One was a Gucci and the other a Fendi. They were quick and efficient-no scratches on either watch. Here in LA I have had bad experiences where either they did not know how to do it or did it in a rush and scratched my watch and charged me much more. I highly recommend World Time-for being efficient and cost effective too! Bring your watches here for Battery Replacements and am sure they service watches too. Came here in February before being vaccinated and felt safe. There was no crowd and the place was clean and sanitized too. Ample parking on the street right in front of the store. read more

They are awesome Totally thought they would charge us but they fixed my husbands watch and didn't ask for anything Truly a great store read more

My Breitling Aerospace Evo needed a new battery. I purchased it from Davidson and Licht 3 years ago. But when I returned to ask about a new battery, they told me Breitling no longer authorize jewelers to perform this minor service. Now the only authorized battery replacement procedure is to return the watch directly to Breitling. The problem is this can typically cost several hundred dollars and take 2 months. The charges include $120 for insured shipping, and a minimum of $110 for the most minor service from Breitling. But if they decide the watch requires additional work, the costs can more than double. Some have been charged more than $600 for this service. If you refuse the quote, they charge $30 just for the estimate. And then you're stuck for the shipping charge and insurance. Online forums are full of experiences where Breitling claimed additional service was required when watches were sent in for a simple battery replacement. Then I learned of World Time. Skeptical at first, I read their reviews here on Yelp and decided to stop by. Their shop is very clean and well appointed. The work area is a showcase of the watchmakers art, with a big glass window into to workarea . The walls a hung with factory certifications from Swatch Group (Omega) and Rolex. The man who greeted me showed me photos of himself when he worked for Omega, wearing a white lab coat at their repair facility. He showed me photos of watches he's repaired, fully disassembled into an array of tiny parts. Now I have confidence in WorldTime, that they know what they're doing and how to do it. They replaced my Breitling battery while I waited, in less than 10 minutes. They used a Swiss made Renata battery, the same as the original. Then they pressure tested the watch in an expensive looking vacuum watch pressure test device, while I observed. You can't beat this service and convenience and value. $25 for a battery service from a factory trained technician is reasonable for a $4000 timepiece. I'm satisfied and will be back. read more

I wanted a watch repair shop that repaired the watches on site. No sending my Rolex away. I scanned yelp for reviews of customer satisfaction for local shops and World Time was in the lead. I visited today. This is the place! Go to World Time. read more
