Friendly Watch Repair

Friendly Watch Repair is an independent watchmaker's shop at 328 10th St #125 in Downtown Oakland. The shop takes on two main categories of work: battery replacements for quartz watches and full service and overhaul jobs that involve disassembling, cleaning, and rebuilding a watch's movement.

As an independent operation, it isn't tied to a single brand, so it's worth calling ahead with the make and model of your watch to confirm they can take it on. No pricing or turnaround times are listed, so those details are best confirmed by phone before dropping anything off.

The shop keeps a fairly consistent schedule, open Monday through Saturday from 11am to 5pm, with Thursdays and Sundays off. There's no website listed, so the phone number at (510) 272-0602 is the main way to reach them for questions about scheduling, pricing, or whether they handle a specific repair.

If you're in the Downtown Oakland area with a dead battery or a watch that's running slow, losing time, or just hasn't been serviced in years, this is a local option to check with directly about what they can do and what it will cost.
