AmFix Jewelry & Watch Repair

Had a dead battery in my watch and Amfix is right across the street from my work. Price was reasonable and I had a working watch a few hours later.

I needed to get a battery replaced for one watch, have the crown repaired on another and also pick up a new battery for my FitBit Zip. This place is close to my work and had good reviews so I finally stopped in and I’m so glad I did! The gentleman that greeted me was very courteous and knowledgeable. He quickly told me what I needed and quoted me a price. I was only charged $ 61 to replace a battery, fix a crown and get an additional battery.
He told me he would text me when everything was done. I assumed I would pick the items up the following week. I was pleasantly surprised when a few hours later my phone was buzzing. I stopped in and all my items were ready to go and looking good the same day! Can’t ask for more.
The shop just moved to Suite 2100 so check them out in their new location upstairs. My boyfriend is a watch aficionado and was impressed by the pricing, speed and craftsmanship.

Took links out of my watch and ready to wear in less than 10 minutes. Cost $ 12.

Lost a prospective customer. Hours posted on the door as 10:00 — 5:30. I visited at 5:23 and found the shop closed and dark.

I needed a place near my office to get two watch batteries replaced before I left on vacation the next day. I stopped into AmFix at 12:15pm, they took my number down and by 12:45pm I had a text that said my watches were ready to pick up! Can’t beat that! My one watch seemed a bit pricey at $ 35 to replace the battery but now considering in how convenient and fast they were replacing it, its a great deal!

Unfortunately I’m done with these guys — they’re nice but never there. They come and go as they please without regard to their posted hours. 5 out of the last 5 times I’ve tried to come in during their posted open hours and they’ve been closed or had a «will return» sign up. Just go out of business if you’re only going to give it 50%.

I needed a couple links taken out of my new watch. I walked in on a random weekday and the nice guy quickly helped me out. He did a couple fittings to get it right and even showed me how to expand the band in the summer if I needed. Great service. If you are in downtown Chicago and need anything done with a watch, I recommend this place.

I came in needing to adjust my watchband. The owner was extremely pleasant and friendly, considering this wasn’t a big procedure. I thought he was great and I’ll definitely come back to get my watch serviced or the next time I need a new band.

Are you kidding??? $ 27.38 for a battery replacement and small adjustment to tighten the flap that closes the band? This place is a RIP OFF. I recently moved from LA, and my jeweler back at home does this in front of me for 5 dollars. I was beside myself when i was told the price of the battery. The guy looked at me and said «well, it’s a nice watch, it’s more expensive». That’s a B. S excuse, most watches use the same battery. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!!

Great and fast service. They are super friendly and knowledgeable. I got 5 batteries replaced in some watches for about $ 10-​$ 12 each. Pretty good deal and they were all ready the next day.

The prices this place charges are WAY out of line with the service they provide. They wanted to charge me $ 32 just to *change the battery* in my watch. With a battery I provided. Even if I didn’t already have a replacement battery, the specific battery that my watch needs costs $ 1.50. It would take 2 minutes to change the battery. So they’re charging essentially $ 900 an hour for service. What a joke.
(called another watch repair place in the Loop, they quoted me $ 6 to $ 7 to change the battery. which sounds more like it)

Zia helped me dry out and fix my Seiko, Kenetic watch. I’ve always understood labor to cost 3 times materials, in general. Zia understood my arguement and gave me a fair price. His work seams to be good and I apreciate his business.

At first I was excited to recieve a call from them saying my jewelry was engraved and ready for pick-​up. So I clocked out of work, hopped in a cab to catch them before they closed. When I took a closer look, I seen they had engraved ‘ski’ instead of ‘sky.’ They promised to fix it within a couple days. Two days later, they call, and once again I clock out of work and head over there. They fixed all right, and it was very obvious. Keep in mind this was not a cheap piece of jewelry and had bought it while on vacation. They could see I was not happy, so they offered to give me a whopping $ 5 off — wow thanks!
–Do yourself a favor and never go to this place. On top of the poor work they do, they also barely speak english.

The shop is located inside the 203 LaSalle Office building. My swiss watch battery ran out and so I visited AmFix because I had walked by it dozens of times. Single young man in there working was courteous and professional if not a little quiet. I didn’t feel nervous and he stopped what he was doing and got up to help me. He inspected the watch and when I asked how much for the battery replacement, he replied $ 22 and give him half an hour.
I felt $ 22 + tax for a standard watch battery replacement seemed high. I guess I had different expectations for the price. I haven’t had a battery replaced in a while, but I also feel I could have gone to Sears and gotten it taken care of for cheaper. It’s a pretty standard procedure and the service, while good, wasn’t anything special.
The watch was fixed on time with no visible damage. Good to know it’s here, but I’ll look somewhere else next time.

The chain on the necklace I wear daily broke and couldn’t find anyplace that would fix it since it is a very fine chain. I brought it here and the man who I believe owns/​runs the place was very helpful, courteous and was able to fix my chain in 3 business days. It was $ 32, which I thought was a reasonable price considering it would be much more to buy a new gold chain. He soldered it and you can’t even tell where it broke. Great and friendly service. Will be back if I ever need jewelery fixed.

For a mere 15 minutes of my time and $ 15, my watch had 2 links taken out and fit perfectly. The store clerk was super friendly and ensured that I was in and out. Conveniently located near the Thompson Center and all subway lines, along with major buses. There are also some great pieces of jewelry in the store if you need a last minute gift that won’t send you broke!

Running out the door to work and realizing that your watch battery died isn’t a good start to the morning… search Unilocal for watch repair in the loop, call AmFix to see if the could fix my Michele watch and 20 minutes and $ 20 later, I’m out the door with the a working watch!

Today was the second time I’ve come here for my boss’ watch repair needs. The man working today was extremely pleasant and attentive and when I told him this particular watch needed a new battery he pointed out that the hands were moving. I told him that it had stopped and then started again a few times. He said that it’d be ready in half an hour. Very nice to deal with. The cost seemed a bit high ($ 29+tax), but since he is servicing the watch himself rather than me just buying a battery and doing it myself, that makes sense.
