Alaska Watch Specialist

Quick and professional service. Had a watch battery replaced in no time and went back to have my watch band adjusted. They did a great job at a reasonable price.

I just got shipped from Switzerland through a Cali Corum dealer a new band. I took off the old band and proceeded to put it back together, ah but two of the pins were too large for the strap. They changed the hole size from the older strap to a smaller hole.

I went to Ben Bridge to get pins, the watch maker was out for the next two weeks. So they suggested here. Nice suggestion! In the Midtown Mall. They said they would be open at noon, had to wait just 5 mins cool. Owner was on time with kids in tow.

A little crowd had built 4 people were waiting including us.

She said $18.95 and about 10 minutes.

Small shop, local and she said she's the last independent Watch Repair place in town. Carl's Jewelry and Gifts closed and there was a place on 36th that closed too. Watch with new band secured! Check!

Out in 10 mins! Check! Will be back.

Referred here by a local jeweler. Replaced the battery in my Tag Heuer dive watch. Quickly, friendly, and professionally, Will be going back.

Just had some batteries replaced in a few old watches. They did a great job quickly and pleasantly. They even customized a new band for one watch that is hard to fit. I'll definitely be bringing more business here.

I've been looking for a place to get battery replaced on my Luminox military watch. Fred Meyer couldn't do it since they cannot guarantee the original seal will hold, plus they all look like sales people not watch technicians.

I found Alaska Watch Specialist inside "The mall at Sears" near Carr's entrance. This is a one person operation and it only took her 15 minutes to change the battery. Drop off your jewelry and browse in the mall for 15 minutes then wallah.

Fantastic service! A jeweler in town recommended Alaska Watch Specialist. The lovely woman who works here knows her timepieces.

I would suggest calling before going. I drove over at 2:45pm on a Tuesday. The lights were on but the shop was closed. The sign on the door said will return at 4:30pm.
I will update this review if I end up getting service there. I just needed a watch battery replaced and wanted to support a local business. I do not have time to wait today and will end up going to Fred Meyers.

I bought a used watch online, didn't realize it had not only a dead battery, but an abnormally large battery! An employee at Fred Meyer Jewelers recommended I try this shop, and thank goodness! The lady working was able to get my watch up & running in about 10 minutes despite a lot of people coming and going from the shop. She also figured out how to work all the controls and showed me how to use them since I don't have the watch instructions. She was also super nice, and had her kids in the shop (I love patronizing family businesses!). I'll definitely be coming back whenever this dies or if I need any repairs.

I've come to Alaska Watch Specialist 2x when it was open and both unsuccessful. There have been no one here each time who can actually help me measure my wrist to take links out of a bracelet watch or to help measure and replace my leather band watch. There was a nice lady to greet you and maybe do the cash register, but she is not knowledgeable anything else watch repair related. Have to come back once again hoping someone is there to help me. There should be someone there trained who can actually assist with getting repairs and measurements done. They should only be open when someone is there and available to help with your repair, otherwise have corrected hours of repair service.

I was very happy to find this place. I live in Kodiak & can't get a battery change. I brought my 2-watches in during a recent business trip to Anchorage. 20 minutes later I had 2 new batteries and was out the door. The young lady who runs this kiosk is awesome and does a great job. Apparently her dad ran the business for about 20 years and now she has it. She even sets the watch(es) to the correct time and date. I recommend this business!
