They are great folks. Very knowledgeable and they do grandfather and all sorts of big clocks. He is a real watchmaker which is hard to find these days. Would use them every time and prices are the best I have found in town.

The store owners were very polite and knowledgeable about what it would take to fix the watches and how long the repairs would take. They told me that orders were placed on Fridays and that repairs to the shattered watch face would be done and the watch returned the following week. As for the batteries, they were replaced on the same day although I returned to pick them up on the next day. Everything was done as promised and the store owner called when they were ready.

Found this little place on Google, brought a watch there that had fallen on the floor and now had the crystal broken and had stopped working. I asked them to (obviously, I thought) replace the crystal and get the watch working again...Older couple owns/operates the store, husband does all the repairs from behind the counter at his desk, wife handles customer and quot;serviceand quot;. I found her to be abrasive and curt, as if she were a high school principal and I was a ninth grader with saggy jeans sent to her office. I'm in the military and walked in in uniform, which usually affords me some benefit of the doubt, but I was clearly just and quot;someone who wants somethingand quot; to her. I clarified that I didn't necessarily need the exact type of crystal that was originally on the watch, just one that fit correctly (they explained that it was a magnifying crystal), and to get it operational again. At this point her unsmiling tone was merely businesslike and detached, until I filled out the repair ticket. When I left a section blank, she snapped and quot;I need your home address.and quot; This was a stunning invasion of privacy to me, but rather than argue, I provided an and quot;addressand quot; to her, thinking no harm no foul if they fix the watch (it wasn't mine, I was doing this for my stepson, and I just wanted to leave it and go). I asked if it was their policy to call the customer when it was ready, or do I have to call them? She said they would call when it was ready, and handed me a claim check, like what's done at the dry cleaners. Two weeks later I received the call informing me it was ready. I went down the next afternoon, walked in, announced that I was there to pick up my watch, and gave my last name. I was then asked if I had the claim check, and when I gave the WRONG answer (I didn't have it), THAT is when Mrs. Watch-Repair went from irritable to full-on condescending, patronizing and downright bitchy. and quot;Well THAT'S WHY we give it to you, so you can give it BACK to us!and quot; She continued with her snarling inquistion: and quot;Did we call you?and quot; and quot;What COLOR was the ticket, white or yellow?!and quot; I answered her questions. She then hissed, and quot;There's no yellow envelope with that name!and quot;. There were maybe 10 or 11 watches total in the box. and quot;Oh, here it is.and quot; The watch was too big to fit in the precious yellow envelope, so it had been put in a ziploc, explaining (I suppose) her vicious tone and petty frustration. Not one word escaped her lips (such as and quot;thankand quot; and and quot;youand quot;) as I paid and walked out, nor did I say anything either, just glad to be leaving forever. When I got to the freeway, I noticed the watch crystal had been replaced, but the watch wasn't working, meaning they replaced the crystal without bothering to look and see if it was ticking. I won't be going back.

Response from ON TIME WATCH & CLOCK REPAIR
Since I just discovered this review from 4 years ago while updating our business information I obviously don't have all the details I would need to respond in full so I can only say I am truly sorry for your experience. We take a lot of pride in our work and we both try to treat every person the way we would want to be treated. I don't recall ever having an experience such as this with any customer that I have ever come in contact with. I am former Air Force myself and would not treat a fellow Military person or any person with such disrespect whether they were in or out of uniform. As to the ticket issue we had to be very careful that the person that picked up an item was the person that it belonged to as we had exes in the past try to pick up items that do not belong to them. Believe me the fallout from giving the item to the wrong person is not something you would want to deal with again. The reason that I would have asked whether the stub was white or yellow was because a white tag was for a day job and yellow was for more detailed and time consuming work. The day work was a smaller amount of watches to look through so we try to start there first if we don't have the ticket but know the color. There was no way that this customer could have known how many boxes we had to look through as we had them stored during the day in a 5 shelf bookcase next to the work bench facing away from the service counter. There were usually as many as 15 boxes of completed and in process watch repair work. Knowing what color the stub was (when it had been misplaced or lost) can save as much as 1/2 an hour of search time which can be very frustrating for customers that can't afford to wait that long. Sorry if this made you feel like you were being questioned unfairly but I do explain why I need to know the color when such a situation occurs. As to the issue of the watch not working: If this was an automatic watch or a mechanical watch and it had been ready for a length of time it would not have been running at the time it was picked up (but in that case we would have normally wound it to make sure it was running). In any case we always backed our work and the customer would have definitely been welcome to return it for review and/or repair with no questions asked.

We felt the price for repairs were reasonable. They finished the work before they estimated. They were really good.

I had just purchased a new watch and needed to have some of the links removed. When I walked in I was greeted by a gentleman with a smile and a friendly "How can I help you today?". I showed him the watch and explained what I thought it needed. He took it and worked on it right there asking how if I preferred the watch loose or tight around my wrist. After he was finished, he gave me the extra links in case any should become damaged. This whole process took about 5 minutes and my watch fit perfectly. This business has a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and I feel confident in the work that he does. I will gladly go back for any future watch repair.

Walked in over lunch hour for a new watch battery. He did it right away while I waited. He had the knowledge and proper tools to work on a "not run of the mill" watch. Great service at a great price.

The repair went very well. They were honest about the queue in front of my repair, but then completed the repair two days prior to the promise date. The clock is working well.
Description of Work: Replaced the operating mechanism on a battery operated wall clock. When I called to explore the possibility of repair, 'On Time Watch & Clock Repair' queried the nature of the problem, quoted an approximate price, and estimated timing for repair. Follow through matched their telephone estimate.

Excellent. Outstanding! I refer customers to him.
Description of Work: This visit replaced 2 batteries in watches. Took in 4 watches I had purchased on ebay, knowing that they did not run. Left the non working watches for repair. I used Ronny for watch repair when he was located at Waugh & Clay in Montrose. After he moved to Murphy Rd, I now drive 25 miles to have my watches repaired. I carry his business cards with me so if asked about my watches I can refer customers to him. I was discussing grandfather clocks with him and he mentioned that he does house calls for grandfather clocks. Rare! Also, on occasion I will print out an ebay auction and ask for advice. He is a gem!

Have used On Time for over ten years. Batteries will be replaced free of charge if they don't last a year. They put a date label on it so you do not have to keep up with a receipt. Have replaced batteries in all types of my watches, specifically my Seikos and Polar HRM watches. Had broken crystal replaced. Will continue to use them because they do work and on time when they promised.

I have taken watches to him before for batteries and he always does it quickly and for a fair price. He has a neat little shop with antiques to while the time (which is not long). He has a 1 year warranty on the batteries. A nice guy who defines to me a small business owner as he seems to really like what he does.
