Jeweler with a watchmaker

Gq Jewelers & International Timepieces

North Park jeweler and watchmaker servicing Squale, Seiko, Ball and G-Shock watches, with battery and bracelet sizing work done in-house.

GQ Jewelers & International Timepieces is a jewelry store in North Park with a watchmaker on staff, handling the kind of everyday work that keeps a watch running: battery replacements and bracelet sizing, along with servicing for Seiko and Grand Seiko pieces. Brands worked on include Squale, Seiko, Ball, and G-Shock, and the shop also sells new watches from these lines.

The shop says it is an authorized dealer and service center for Squale and Ball, claims that haven't been independently verified. It also displays a large selection of G-Shock models and carries Seiko in its retail lineup, so it's a reasonable stop whether the watch needs a quick fix or you're shopping for something new.

No turnaround times or service prices are listed on the shop's site, so anyone needing a battery swap, bracelet adjustment, or a full service should call ahead to confirm cost and how long the job will take. The shop sits at 3773 30th St, Unit E, in San Diego's North Park neighborhood and is closed Mondays, open 11am to 6pm Tuesday through Saturday, and 11am to 3pm on Sundays.
