PB Watch Repair

Independent Gresham, Oregon watchmaker handling battery replacements (from $20) and bracelet sizing out of a small shop behind the post office.

PB Watch Repair is a one-person shop run by Paul, who has spent more than 32 years working on watches, including time at Friedlander's jewelry store and managing the repair counter at Zell Bros Jewelers before starting his own business. After 16 years operating out of a Fred Meyer location, the shop now works from a private storefront in Gresham.

The core of the business is battery replacement, listed starting at $20, along with bracelet and band sizing. The shop runs a loyalty program where buying five battery replacements earns a sixth free, which brings the average cost down for repeat customers. No specific brand list is given, so anyone with a brand-specific repair or service question should call ahead to confirm the shop can handle it.

The location is tucked inside the State Farm building on NW 1st Street, directly behind the Gresham Post Office between Main Street and Eastman Parkway, in Suite 3. Parking is street parking only, with one dedicated spot at the building; a ramp entrance through the State Farm front door is available for those who need it. The shop is open Tuesday through Friday, 10am to 6pm, and Saturday 10am to 4pm, and closed Sunday and Monday.
