What stands out from customer feedback is the range of small repairs completed quickly. Reviews mention battery changes, strap and bracelet adjustments, replacement links and glass repairs. Examples include a Rolex bracelet link repaired within 24 hours, a vintage watch strap repaired for £1.50, a replacement Rolex glass for £15 and a watch link replaced for £2. Other customers describe a Seiko repair completed in around 10 minutes and a Rolex clasp adjusted without charge when no parts were needed. An Omega Seamaster repair was reported to take a few days, while a 1960s watch was also repaired. These examples suggest that straightforward jobs may sometimes be handled while you wait, although more involved servicing will naturally take longer.
The overall picture from reviews is of a friendly, professional and direct service, with many customers praising the staff’s knowledge and clear pricing. Express Watchmakers has a 4.9/5 rating from 147 Google Maps reviews and 4.7 from 22 Yell reviews. There are also less positive reports, including a damaged Tag Heuer crown, an eight-week service that led to time loss and concerns about customer service. One review also says a watch became non-waterproof after exposure to heat and swimming; the shop dried it under a lamp for an hour and returned it free of charge, while explaining that its functionality could not be guaranteed. The shop is open from 09:00 to 17:00 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and is closed on Wednesdays and Sundays.
