Liberty Time

Best place I’ve found nearby to get links removed from watch. Only cost $ 8; other places nearby were quoting me $ 12 to 25 bucks for the same exact service (for example, the Fast-​Fix watch repair place in Pentagon City mall wanted to charge $ 25)! Liberty Time is actually a kiosk right outside of the indoor Best Buy entrance across the street from the Pentagon City mall. Got the links removed and watch properly fitted in less than 5 minutes.
They also do other forms of watch repair — I’m sure the cost for those services are reasonable as well. There is a credit card minimum of $ 10 if you want to avoid a .50 cent transaction fee.
But I’ll give this place 5 stars for simple fact that they had cheapest rate I’ve found in the area on a fairly simple service that shouldn’t cost more than $ 10 (otherwise you’re getting ripped off)… they also performed that service well and within just a few minutes.

I had the exact same experience with not one watch, but two watches. I would highly recommend going elsewhere to have your watch batteries changed.
I took my boyfriend’s watch to get a battery replaced here — and to give them credit, they are relatively inexpensive and quick. I then brought my own watch in to get the battery changed a few days later. I soon noticed that my watch was keeping bad time, and my boyfriend said his watch was also keeping bad time. I brought them in to be fixed, but the employee said there was nothing they could do. I brought them to a jeweler who told me I would have to pay for them to repair the watches. Now we’re stuck with two watches that don’t work properly. Don’t let this be you. Go elsewhere.

Kiosk located in front of Best Buy @ Pentagon City. Liberty Time is a modest, no frills kiosk selling Casio, Timex, and Armitron watches at very reasonable prices; as well as services such as watch battery replacement, band adjustment, and key making services.
I recently commissioned Liberty Time to replace a battery and remove a link from my Fossil watch. The technician was short and to the point, but did not come off as rude or unwilling. She replaced my battery and removed a link in under 4 minutes!
I am unsure if their replacement methods will maintain the manufacturer’s water resistance rating, but I don’t plan on scuba diving with my watch any time soon!
Tip: There is a $ 15 minimum for credit cards and it only costs $ 10 to replace the battery!
The bottom line: Would I bring my Omega here? Likely not. Will I come see her again for all my other watches? You betcha!

Three batteries… in two different devices… in less than four minutes – including time for payment.
All at a fair price.

I bought a couple of watches here as well as gotten battery replacement. There is usually one person working at the kiosk so there might be a wait if there are other customers ahead of you. The battery replacement price is the cheapest that I know of in this area. The service is quick.

This place is a kiosk outside the Best Buy and it is a great deal — especially as compared to the watch repair place across the street in the Pentagon City mall that charges TRIPLE for many of the same services.
A few months ago I went to the Fast-​Fix place in the Pentagon City mall and they charged me something like $ 25 or $ 30 to take a few links out of my watch band. Yesterday I found Liberty Time to have the same thing done to another watch and they charged me exactly $ 8. I couldn’t be happier.
The service was fine — the worker seemed shy or maybe wasn’t great at English but he did the work in three minutes while I waited.

Liberty Time is a little kiosk/​stand in the middle of the Pentagon Centre. It offers a couple of services — including making keys and replacing watch batteries. The work is fine. The prices so-​so. But the real problem is that the customer service is HORRIBLE. And I do mean HORRIBLE!
It’s welllllllll past «borderline» rude. I’ve been here on two occasions and had experiences with two different workers (first a man, then a woman) on two different days. But they were both the same. Both barely spoke to me (as if it pained them to answer questions about their services). Both refused to make eye contact (but in a rude «you’re-not-worth-my-time» kind of way, not in a culturally deferring «Asian» way — I can tell the difference). Both acted as if they were doing me a favor by taking my money while treating me like a second-​class citizen. The first time I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but the second time I recognized the pattern and left emptyhanded. Like the old folks say, «Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!»
Until this place gets its act together, Liberty Time is in timeout!
