Walk-in watch repair inside West County Center in Des Peres, handling batteries, bands, crystals and vintage work with an on-site watchmaker.

Watch Technicians runs a counter on Level 1 of West County Center, near Macy's, with no appointment needed. The shop handles battery replacements (from $19.99, about 15 minutes), band sizing and repair, crystal replacement, and hand resetting while you wait or shop.
