The Watch Repair Guy

Excellent work, very friendly, and expeditious service. Located in the ACE hardware and to the left along the store front.

I had to get a watch band replaced and he had a decent set of options even though it was a tiny stall. Service was extremely fast and he did not try to upswell me on the more expensive options. Highly recommended. Convenient location too, inside ACE Hardware

Richard, The Watch Repair Guy, is amazing! He fixed a watch I was told could not be repaired by two (2) other watch repair professionals. This watch is unique enough that I had a hard time just throwing it away because I really, really like it! Richard replaced the battery and tinkered with a bit to get it back to new condition. I’m beyond happy and would highly recommend paying him a visit.
Thanks Richard!

I bought brand new ceramic watch from online, I was looking for this watch long time and I found good deal on the web and I sad «its time» Long story short I need a link taking out, it was big. I told my husband, he was gonna buy some paint and do some errands, anyway he went to hardware store and he saw this watch repair in the hardware store he let them size my brand new ceramic watch, when he came home I try the watch and something scratched my skin, I looked closer and I saw one link was chipped OMG my brand new watch, I was soooo mad my husband, I think he didn’t see it in the first place. They chipped my new ceramic watch. Now what ?
Watch repair in the hardware store newer again.

Super fast for watch battery replacement. With 2 kids and a full time job it was very convenient when my job requires a watch!!! I definitely recommend the watch guy at ace hardware on Contra Costa!!! This will be my stop for watch batteries and repair. Price is reasonable too

Highly recommend. The Watch Repair Guy was conveniently located, quick with the repair, and fairly priced. Moreover, he was a genuinely nice and sincere person. This type of customer service is rare. I wrote this review immediately after leaving the store. I would use him again in a second.

Just removed links from the band of my new watch, but he was fast and professional.

Inside Ace Hardware on Contra Costa. This guy is very convenient, well-​priced, and does a good job. My Parnis automatic took a fairly big hit and the glass popped off the front and the pendulum separated inside the watch. I thought it was done for, but he was able to save it. Will definitely return for future watch needs.

Stumbled upon this place by accident inside Bill’s Ace Hardware when Goldsmith down the street was not open during its stated hours. Richard was unbelievably helpful in getting a watch band I had purchased online to fit my new Asus Zenwatch. He not only got the band attached and removed several links so it fit me better, he also filed down and molded the sections near the watch face so that it had a perfect fit, (The band was made for a round faced watch but it now fits perfectly on this square watch.) Richard also replaced the spring pins that came with the band, with ones that fit the holes in the watch better., What did he charge me for all this? The $ 15 he originally quoted me even though the job looked much simpler when he first took it on. I even offered him more money and he refused. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this kind of high quality work at a reasonable price. And he is a personable guy too. Cant ask for much more!
PS He has another kiosk in Martinez where there are several great Unilocal reviews. The one in Pleasant Hill is relatively new.
