Simmons Fine Jewelry

Simmons Fine Jewelry in Meridian keeps a watchmaker on site rather than shipping work out, which covers everything from a quick battery swap to a full service and overhaul. The bench handles crystal replacement, bracelet sizing, case and bracelet polishing, pressure testing for water resistance, and vintage watch repair.

Brands they regularly service include Breitling, Tag Heuer, Grand Seiko, and Seiko. The shop says it is an authorized Tag Heuer service center, though that's a claim to confirm directly with Simmons rather than something independently verified. For anyone outside the Boise area, they also offer mail-in service.

Turnaround is listed as next day, which is fast for a full service and suggests simpler jobs like battery changes or bracelet sizing move quickly through the shop. As a jewelry store with an attached watch department, Simmons sits in that useful middle ground between a mall kiosk that only does batteries and a dedicated watchmaker's studio — they sell new watches from several of the same brands they service, so there's institutional familiarity with the movements involved.

Hours run Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 5pm and Saturday 11am to 5pm, with the shop closed Sunday and Monday. The Meridian address is a short drive from most of the Boise metro, and the phone line is a reasonable first stop to confirm pricing or drop-off requirements before making the trip.
