Exceptional Experience Every Time—Professional, Friendly, and Worth It!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
WatchLAB is absolutely fantastic! I’ve participated in several focus groups through them, and every time has been smooth, professional, and genuinely enjoyable. The team is organized, respectful, and makes you feel truly valued as a participant. The topics are engaging, the communication is clear, and the payouts are as prompt as possible.
I especially want to shout out Laila, who went above and beyond to help me during a recent study. She was kind, responsive, and incredibly professional—making the whole process seamless and stress-free. It’s rare to find that level of care and attention in research settings, and it made a big difference.
If you’re looking to share your insights and get paid for your perspective, WatchLAB is the gold standard. I recommend them to anyone curious about market research or just wanting to be part of thoughtful conversations that actually make an impact.

Vintage Avia ladies' 9ct gold mechanical watch irreparably damaged by the watch lab.

I sent a vintage Avia ladies' 9ct gold watch and gold link strap for assessment as it had not worked for years. My mother bought the watch for my 18th in 1967 for £22. I was supposed to have the gold strap as well but my father had become unemployed due to illness so I waited a few years for the strap to be added, after my mother had saved the money. A watch of sentimental value. The cost for repair was quoted at £215.
Watch arrived, beautifully packaged. Went to put it on but one hand was rolling around in the glass. Sent it back. Suggestion was that it had been shaken off in transit!
Received watch. Put it on for 24 hours to check it. It fell off my wrist in pieces after a couple of hours. The inside works, all out of the watch case and on the ground. The glass fallen out too.
Decided it must be a fluke. Put it back together. Later it was working fine so...
Put the watch on another time. Fine for several hours then - it all fell off my wrist again in pieces. Began to inspect the watch. The back was no longer tight on the case and rocked back and forth about the spindle. And, I noticed a dent in the back casing which was never there before and is not to be seen in the original photo of the watch which I had been required to supply. The dent could only have come from someone missing the removal groove and hitting the case instead whilst removing the back.
Very crossly sent it back yet again. Received message that the dent had been corrected and the back tightened.
Received watch back. The back appears tight but the dent is still just the same. I haven't yet tried wearing it and have wound it to see if it's still going in 24 hours. (It's the old fashioned mechanical type of watch). Having a dent on the back of a watch affects its value and this is a solid gold watch. I had hoped to leave a perfect behind me. I'm 76 and not in great health now. No compensation or even official apology offered.
I am not happy at all with this company and obviously would never use them again.

They lost a hand off my watch

I shouldn’t really leave this review because they still have my watch! I took my watch into the Liverpool branch 3 weeks ago for a replacement glass. I was charged £79.99 and told it would be ready in a week and I will get a phone call
I didn’t receive a phone call so I called in with my son and they said that it should be done for Monday and she would call me. I was going on holiday on the Tuesday and wanted the watch for then.
I didn’t get a phone call so I phoned them and they said that it wasn’t back
I went on holiday and phoned them the day after I got back
She’s now said that there’s a hand missing! I’m devastated the watch has great sentimental value to me.
She promised me a phone call later that day, once again I didn’t get a phone call.
I’m going to call in the morning and if I have no news, I’m gonna tell her to get my watch back into the shop refund me my money and I will take it elsewhere with the extra expense of buying a new hand for my watch. I’ve never been so disappointed in my life. Why does a simple thing like replacing a glass go so wrong!
Why do companies get away with incompetence like this!!

Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry the price came as a surprise. Some of our battery services include extras like resealing or a lifetime guarantee, which can affect the cost.

If I could give less than 0ne star I would.

Placed two vintage watches with Watch Lab. Both watches were left to me by my father who died in 2002. The first watch just needed the glass reinstated and cost £65. The second watch needed a service, the estimate for this was £550, which I thought was exorbitant so didn't go ahead. I asked for the watch to be returned and I had to wait 3 weeks after Watch Lab had already had it for a month. Recently the first watch for some reason was not keeping good time so I took it to my local Timpson's for a new battery. The technician had great difficulty trying to open the watch to replace the battery. This has not been a problem in the past, so I can only surmise that the problem with the back of the watch has happened since it was with Watch Lab. I wouldn't trust Watch Lab to rectify the problem and would be concerned how long they would keep the watch. I am now left with two watches which have been reliable until Watch Lab had they in their procession

Watch Lab Leicester

I first went to Watch Lab Leicester about 3 weeks ago with a broken metal watch strap. I was served by Cameron who was extremely helpful and thought that he might be able to repair the strap . A few days later he was successful with the repair and called me to collect it. The cost was very reasonable compared to a new strap. Today I went in with another watch that needed a new o-ring seal. I was served by Dominic. He was also very friendly and helpful. He did not have the correct size seal available but fitted me a similar one for no charge . I was very impressed with his helpful attitude.

Poor customer service at The Watch Shop in the Oracle Reading

This is feedback based on my experience today at The Watch Lab in the Oracle Reading.
Having arranged some custom work to a watch via email, I went to their shop in the Oracle and was confronted by an individual whose very rude ways left me with no choice but to leave. This guy, Sebastian is his name, was from the outset bothered to have to leave his personal call because a customer had shown up at the booth.
I cannot express the rudeness of this individual throughout his interaction with me. I do not think he is fit to work in a customer facing environment.
Politeness and kindness to customers is something no company should skimp on.
I was shocked at being treated the way he did and will never approach this company anymore.

Robbers

I have just had a terrible experience at the watch lab at Silverburn Shopping centre, I went to have a battery replaced and ended up with a broken watch, first they removed and replaced the battery charge £34 when I went to get it back they said the crown ( the winder)for anyone who doesn’t knows what that is, as this was ok when I put it in it seems he broke it he said this would cost me a further £49 to fix,as I thought this was ridiculous and I wouldn’t be able to change the time I asked him to remove the battery, when he opened the watch to remove the battery he couldn’t replace the back as he said there was now a seal ring missing from the back that would need replacing, so I ended up with a broken watch that was only needing a new battery when it went in, so I would not advise any one to use this place, disgusting, by the way he said the rotary battery was £34 and the jewlers I took it to after I left him said there is no such thing as a rotary battery, so robbing GET.

I just wanted to give you some feedback…

I just wanted to give you some feedback before I posted a review. I visited your store in Manchester first on the 15th August at around 3pm and found a note on the door saying back in an hour which is fine these things happen. I had a spare couple of house today the 22nd so I went back to the store spoke to your representative and booked my watch in for a battery replacement, pressure test and clean. I was told that it should be ready within the hour but I will get a message if it’s done earlier. Just over an hour I returned to be told it hadn’t even been started because they were too busy. I took my watch as I had only traveled into Manchester for this service so had just wasted an hour. If I had been told they were busy and it might have been 2 hours that would have been fine I would have picked it up another day and not just wasted my time sitting around.

I took my solar watch into the Newcastle branch as it had stopped working. I was quoted £74.95 for a new battery which had to be ordered and they wanted payment up front. I left my watch with them.
Two weeks went by and I heard nothing so I called them. I was then told it wasn't the battery but a movement issue and was quoted over £200 to have it looked at. I declined and went to pick up my watch. Once home, the back fell off the watch as it hadn't been screwed back in place and the o ring seal was also missing. Also, a scratch on the polished case back was evident. Further calls and emails went unanswered. I can't recommend this company.
