Five Star Jewelry & Watch Repair is a jeweler with an in-house watchmaker on S McCarran Blvd in Reno's Mira Loma neighborhood. The shop covers the everyday work most watch owners need: battery replacement, crystal replacement, bracelet sizing, and full movement servicing, along with case and bracelet polishing.

The watchmaker, Jim, is named repeatedly in customer feedback as the one doing the repairs, with reviewers describing careful handling of higher-end watches and appraisal work alongside the usual jewelry repairs like ring resizing and clasp replacement. Alongside watch work, the shop also does jewelry repair, engraving, and buying gold and silver, so it functions as a one-stop counter rather than a dedicated watchmaker's bench.

For anyone in a hurry, the shop advertises same-day turnaround on certain jobs, though which repairs qualify isn't specified and is worth confirming when you drop off a piece. No specific watch brands or service pricing are listed on the site, so bring the watch in or call ahead to get a quote and an estimate on timing for your particular repair.

The shop is open seven days a week except Sunday, with consistent hours from 11am to 7pm Monday through Saturday, making it easy to stop by on a lunch break or after work.
