McPeek’s Timepiece

What a joke. Don’t come here for battery replacement. Last Friday I gave them my watch, and they immediately took a large magnification glass and looked at the face. I knew immediately that this was a scam. I trusted their sign, and made a special trip for this task. They wanted $ 27.50 and I told them we paid $ 10 in the past. The person told me that the screws had springs and it was a difficult task. B.S.
I misplaced my precision set of screwdrivers and purchased an inexpensive set to remove the four small Phillips screws. This watch uses a common battery, CR2032 3v Lithium. I purchased one at my local drug store for under five bucks. As for the spring loaded screws, the watch has two small springs that rest against the back cover for making a connection to the heart rate monitor feature. They didn’t fly out, as they are fastened into the watch mechanism. They can’t fly out, as I was told.
Unfortunately I didn’t look up this business on Unilocal,before I made this useless trip. Look at review dated 1÷12÷2016

I was told a battery replacement would cost $ 26.95. When I came back 10 minutes later, I was informed my watch was no longer working. The man behind the counter also told me he’d left a new battery inside, though he didn’t charge me. This didn’t add up and I went to Suzuki’s, near the Monterey Post Office, where the owner installed a new battery for 10 dollars and my watch works fine. I know where I will take my business in the future.

I used McPeek’s Timepiece to sell some spare gold. I had a bunch of old jewelry, some things that were broken and others just hand-​down that I would never wear. I wasn’t sure what was of value and what was not, so it was nice to bring it some place where I could trust the owners. This is a family-​owned local business, and the owner went through the pieces I had and identified which were real and which were not, gave me a good market value on the gold and paid me immediately.
Super easy transaction, and I felt like I could trust that I got a good deal. I would recommend.

For those of you complaining about time… drop your watch off and make an appointment to pick it up. That what I did…$ 22 to replace the battery in my Marc Jacobs watch.

I had the battery of a simple digital watch replace here — for $ 35!!! I love patronizing local businesses but this is a shop I will never visit again. Besides overcharging me for a task that probably took him 3 – 4 minutes (max!), the owner was rude and insulting when I asked if he could set the watch to the correct time. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!

This place is pricy, takes a long time, and the battery that I replaced in my watch didn’t last long. The people are friendly, but that’s not enough to make me go back.

I didn’t write a review, for a long while, because I didn’t go in here. I needed to have my watch battery replaced, so my husband went in for me. He took forever, it seemed. Turns out my husband said he enjoyed talking to the owner about jewelry, and prices and stories about how a lot of customers sell him watches. I thought it was a bit expensive to get my battery replaced, but nothing that made me feel ripped off.

After the really bad service the first time, the watch he «fixed» stopped running 2 days later.

Same problem as most others in this review… this guy is never around the store, and it cost $ 26 for a battery replacement. Will never come back again.

Waited for McPeeks to open at 10:30AM– he never showed. Purchased a battery for my heart rate monitor this morning for $ 4.29 at Rite-​Aid and replaced myself.
Could not open my watch so I took it to American Tin Cannery My Z’s. He opened my watch and replace battery for a total of $ 12.00. You do the math.

I do not know how this person stays in business, on 3 separate occasions he has not only failed to fix my clock but has taken from 6 weeks to 3 months. He fails to return calls and his stated office hours are a joke.

Was it pricey to get my battery replaced on my watch? Kinda ($ 26), but it came with a two year warranty. Did I receive exemplary customer service? Absolutely!
Robert (owner) offered me an opportunity to join their battery replacement club (can’t remember the details of it now), but wasn’t pushy about selling things.
Overall, I got my battery replaced and it was within walking distance of work.

I’ll be looking for a fair priced place, the next time I need anything done with my watches… Why? Because I had the battery replaced for two of my watches and it was pretty expensive for what it was. $ 50+ for new batteries?!! O_​O
Probably not coming back to this place.
Thank You for my new batteries.

This is a review of their service, not of their sales.
I went in with a dive watch with a dead battery. I wanted to get the battery replaced and the watch resealed. Their price? ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
I took the same watch to Ocean Treasures in PG, and got the battery replaced and the watch resealed (so I can dive with it again). Their price? ELEVEN DOLLARS.
I might consider going to McExpensive’s to look for a watch, but I would never get it serviced here.
