Watch Repair Shops in Charleston, SC

About Watch Repair Shops in Charleston

Charleston, SC has around 10 watch repair and jewelry shops that handle everything from a simple battery swap to more involved timepiece servicing. Most are independently owned storefronts scattered across downtown Charleston and surrounding neighborhoods like West Ashley and James Island, with hours generally running Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 5 PM — though a few operate on tighter schedules, so it’s worth calling ahead. Services across the directory include battery replacement, band resizing, crystal replacement, and vintage restoration, giving Charleston residents a reasonable range of options depending on the job.

A few shops stand out based on the data. MP Demetre Jewelers carries a perfect 5-star rating across 341 reviews, and customers describe it as “the premier destination for fine timepieces in Charleston” — it also explicitly offers battery replacement and band resizing as listed services, making it a solid first stop for both quick fixes and higher-end watches. Garfield Jewelers, another five-star independent, is notable for being one of the few shops in the directory that lists a warranty on work, which is worth knowing if you’re handing over something valuable. For vintage work specifically, one of the Sohn & McClure Jewelers locations tags both vintage restoration and crystal replacement — and a reviewer mentions successfully restoring a piece that had been incomplete since 1970, which suggests they’re comfortable with older or more delicate jobs.

A practical note: hours vary considerably across Charleston watch repair shops, and several are closed Monday, Tuesday, or both. Garfield, for example, is only open Thursday through Saturday. If you’re walking in without an appointment, mid-week mornings at shops like MP Demetre or Skatell’s Manufacturing Jewelers — which keeps regular Monday–Friday hours — tend to be the safer bet. Most shops in this directory accept walk-ins, and several accept cards.
