The Watch Lab in Meadowhall Chris has done a great job again. He’s always friendly, professional, and really good at what he does.

Avoid Warrington branch as woman not fit to work on watches

Took a new watch in to the watch lab in Warrington to get a battery fitted. The lady tried to pry the wrong part of the back, gouged up the metal and scored the back badly. She couldn't get the back off. We took the watch home, looked at the back and realised she was prying the wrong part of the watch. Took me 5 minutes to change the battery myself. There was a purpose cut out in the case to show where to pry. My wife even pointed out to her that she had been prying the wrong bit of the watch. The bloke who worked there was good but this woman is totally incompetent, and her excuse was pathetic and no compensation was offered.

Great repair job on watch bracelet.

Took my watch to The Watch Lab in Buchanan Galleries in Glasgow as the bracelet had broken. Callum did a great repair job and gave it a good clean, all in under an hour and at a great price. Thoroughly recommended.

Fantastic service

Took a watch to them this morning after being quoted a cost of £255 by jeweller for a small repair and battery change. To be fair the jeweller recommended the watch lab. Repair and battery replacement completed in just over 1 hour at a fraction of the price quoted be jeweller. Fantastic service and highly delighted with their work.

I visited the Watch Lab Trinity Leeds today and the service I received from the lady was absolutely excellent so I decided to leave a review. Her technical skills were first class and also great advice with genuine interest and people skills. Very well done. I will definitely be coming again.
