Pi Watch & Clock Repair

Superb. I walked in for a tiny piece the owner fixed it. I asked how much he said 3 bucks. I asked debit he said cash. I said I’ll go to the bank he said don’t worry about it. Wow. Worth traveling across town for. 10 stars.

True as all the previous reviews said: very quick, no-​nonsense, not expensive.
I needed my watch fixed in a jiffy on my way somewhere on Thanksgiving Monday. Experience goes: called to confirm he was working, got there quickly, handed him the watch, paid the bill, and I was out the door in 2 – 3 minutes.
I’m curious how well the seal on some watches will hold up, let’s see next time!

After reviewing some of the reviews regarding watch repair places, I decided to try out PI Watch and Clock repair.
At first I walked past it as I only saw the salon set up inside. After confirming the address and also seeing the store sign sandwich board I knew I was at the right place.
The store/​salon was empty except for the man working on a watch behind the counter.
I brought out two of my watches which needed some servicing (one was a Timex needed a battery and the other was a Tissot that needed some condensation to be cleaned out (due to a broken seal). I was expecting that he would be giving me a claim ticket and to return the next business day for the Tissue. Instead, he said that it would be a few minutes.
I sat down while he worked right away on the watches. In no time flat he signalled me over to let me know that the reviving was done. Wow! The Tissue was back in clear, shiny working order and the Timex ticking away as well. He explained a few things on my Tissot and how to avoid issue in the future.
His prices are incredibly reasonable (in fact amazing!). I have now found my go to place for all of my watch service needs. He is a small business owner who seems to really enjoy his craft and helping people with their watch servicing needs.
I would highly recommend him for all of your watch battery replacement needs as well as anything else related to watches and clocks. You will definitely be in great hands and his prices are fantastic!

This guy is amazing. Absolute professional and great value. Needed to get a watch downsized to fit my wrist and it took 2 minutes and $ 4.
Friendly guy but he won’t be mistaken for a chatty cathy. All business and I’ll be recommending him to everyone.

Gets straight to the point, fast and cheap.

Great place! Took 5 minutes, $ 6 (cash only) and my watch had a new battery.
I had a hard time finding it first. There is a bus stop right in front and a big group of people were waiting there. Also, it’s actually in the hair salon which was mesmerizing, it’s straight out of the 50s! :)

This guy is the real deal. Was last in a few years ago for a battery replacement, was happy to see he’s still there! Quick and to the point. Sort of a funny shop, it’s a counter in one half of a salon.
Exchanged half a dozen words tops. Price was $ 6. Still the best deal around.

Needed links removed on watch, Dropped in to this store, no small chat just down to business (what i like) Done in less than ten minutes, Charged me $ 4 which is ridiculous so i left him $!0. Job done, will use everytime

Thank you Unilocal!
Ive had 4 of my fave watches waiting for a new batteries…
This place is great, cheap and fast! Don’t expect him to chit chat with you or even say hello he means business! Lol I put my watches on the counter and he does his thang, he even farted no word of a lie, 15 minutes later Im off, he does the job. Cash only.

Got my Victorinox battery changed for $ 7, price is pretty average but it was done in 3 minutes and I was in the neighbourhood so I don’t mind. I came in at 5:30 and it was dead, funny thing is its in a salon «Mabel’s Salon» so if you’re driving by you might just miss it. Not much to look at while you’re there and some of the packaging for the batteries looks old which makes me a little skeptical of how long this battery will last.

I felt like I was in a time warp. The reviews do not lie — this place is amazing. Fast efficient service and value for money. He fixed a Movado watch in 5minutes and charged $ 8! The Bay would have charged $ 60 and taken 3weeks minimum.
There was one odd point — we were there at 2pm on a public holiday and when we drove past 5minutes later, the shop was shut. Maybe we were lucky but I think the hours for this place are a little sporadic.

This place is great! Was looking for a place to get a new battery for my watch, and after reading the reviews wanted to check this place out. I was in and out of the store in minutes. Happy he only charged $ 5 unlike a lot of other watch repair places I was considering.

I have a handmade watch from Japan which needed a battery change, and took it to the Bay in Oakridge who wanted to ship it out, the fancy watch shop that wanted to charge $ 14, and a specialist battery shop in Landsdowne that wanted me to come back to see the expert. Finally tried Pi who changed the battery in 1 minute and only charged $ 5! Can totally recommend this place. Easy to miss spot as the sign front is for a salon, as they share the space!

I needed a watch battery replaced, and to my dismay, I had walked past a number of times during business hours only to find this place completely shuttered. Pessimistically, I thought it was closed for good — fortunately, I was wrong.
Dropped in today and battery replacements are still done swiftly and efficiently for the reasonable price of $ 5. No small talk, just business. Love it.

The kind of hidden gem it’s great to know about. Thanks, Unilocalers! I had a watch battery replaced and the metal links adjusted — total was $ 8.
There’s usually one of those sandwich board things on the sidewalk saying something like «Watch Repair», east side of Main just south of Broadway. The salon at the back of the shop is called Mabel’s, which is what the window sign reads.
There are a few chairs at the front where you can sit and wait for the older gent to fix your timepiece. Gaze at random dusty things behind glass while you wait — ceramic cats, calendars, thermometers…

I’ve been here a few times to have batteries installed in some watches and every time I am in and out in a few minutes! It’s always $ 5 for a battery change but the watchmaker will throw in a quick clean and realign if your watch needs it free of charge. So glad to have found this place!

This place is an absolute gem. The guy is super nice, totally unassuming, and the service is super quick. Parking can be an issue, but other than that, great place to get a quick service done on your watches. Remember it is cash only

This quaint watch repair shop (located inside a hair salon nonetheless) resized my watch in about 2 minutes for the unbelievably low price of $ 4. Will definitely return for all my watch repair needs!

I spotted the sign for this watch repair place on one of my walks after my watch had run out of battery power for a few months. I hadn’t done anything about it because it’s freeing not to obsess about time plus I didn’t feel like going through the process of having to pay over $ 10 and leave my watch and wait to pick it up.
Once I checked out the reviews on here, I decided to pull my watch out of the drawer and head on in.
As described by other reviewers, I was in and out of there in about 5 minutes for $ 5.
I feel like I had to knock off one star because I realize that this kind of place is not going to be for everyone (Yes, it is a counter at the front of an old hair salon) but it’s really no-​nonsense so if you just want the job done quickly and inexpensively, this is it.

Needed a battery, and to find out if the second-​hand (no pun intended) Soviet-​era watch I had just bought would work. $ 5 he said, and hurray the watch works!
Also needed a metal strap to replace the leather mismatched set that it came with. Found 2 styles, the preferred one almost didn’t fit but he filed it down so it did, then took out links so it wouldn’t slide off my wrist. $ 15. Total of $ 20 equalled the quote from the repair guy in the fancy jewellery store at Oakridge, and that was just to put in a battery!
Would highly recommend! It’s not a fancy store, very old school, kinda shabby, part of a older-​generation beauty salon. Nice folks.
