Moved from the downtown location, the new location has easy parking and the same enthusiastic, skilled service. I have had several watches serviced and always have great service.
I just went there with my girlfriend! The onwers (man and lady) are very friendly and boss fixed my watch in 5 mins:) I really liked the quick service, thank you I'll tell all my friends to go and fix their watches
Watch was repaired on time and at the price quoted. Kong knows his stuff! Quick and friendly service. Will definitely take my watches there in the future.
Really pleasant. Didn't try to tell me I needed a big watch fix.let's start with this and see how it goes. Definitely would take my business there again
Amazing experience with Kong. He was extremely honest and I didn't end up getting my watch battery changed because he very honestly told me it wasn't waterproof for the ocean and the water would leak inside and damage the watch so I was very impressed with his honesty and integrity.
I recently got a new watch as a gift, but upon opening it the battery was dead (or so I hoped). After a bunch of Google work, I came across Kong's - much as you have. The reviews were great, so I stopped by his home with my watch. He greeted me at the door, brought me to the work area, swapped the battery, and I was back in my car in under 5 minutes. I timed it (pun intended), and it took me longer to get my kid in and out of the car than the entire battery swap. Crazy, and for only $10 I am beyond pleased. Friendly, efficient, and thorough.
Mr. Kong is a genuinely great guy and I would come back for all of my watch repair needs. His prices are very good, he took the time to explain the issues I was having, did a great job with the repair, and went out of his way to ensure I was happy with the service. I had a Swiss automatic watch with a hand-winding issue that needed attention and a general service. Very happy.
Has the most affordable cost for battery replacements in Calgary. Although he had relocated his shop from downtown to his basement, his service is remarkable. He replaced the batteries of my watch so fast and fixed a bracelet on another. I commuted for an hour, only to be done in 15 minutes for 4 watches!
Kong is a professional watchmaker and friendly. He fixed the broken bracelet of my vintage Tag Heuer Kirium which those bracelet is hard to find and expensive.
Excellent and friendly service! It doesn’t get better than that! If you need quick turnaround on watch repairs this is the place to go. Got battery replaced and it took less than 5 minutes. A+
Park in front of the house and walk on the driveway to the back door.
As an out of town client, I contacted Kong via email and arranged a date and time to stop by and have the batteries replaced on some watches. One could add these brands (Fossil, Toy, Gucci) to the list of watches he's familiar with. He had a process for ensuring the job request was noted and ticketed, texted me when watches were ready, and recorded item conditions via photo upon drop-off and pick-up. Kong is able to keep his charges most affordable given that he's no longer paying overhead downtown since the pandemic. He was friendly, diligent, and most gracious when I tipped him for a service over and above what I've had in the past from other 'big stores'. His house was easy to find, had appropriate signage and a place to park, and was organized and clean. More importantly, I felt safe, and was welcomed - like a new member of the family. This experience was worth the drive/pit-stop. I will let everyone I know about what Kong has to offer:) #SupportLocal
Kong is now operating in the basement of his home. He is very friendly and provides expert service as always. If you need watch batteries changed or repairs, he can help you. Fast and reasonably priced service
Looks like Kong recently moved locations and is working out of a house now. Once I found the house I was able to walk to the back and knock on the door. I’m not aware of any places in the city who will do battery replacements for cheaper than over here. Thanks again Kong!
I was both impressed and very pleased with the courteous, prompt, professional service I received at Kong's. He replaced the crystal and resurfaced the dial of my '64 Rolex, a watch very dear to my heart. The picture doesn't do the transformation he did justice, I'd fully recommend Kong for very well priced and efficient work!
Went to change battery for a few watches. Absolutely great and friendly service, with one of the best prices for battery change in the city. Totally recommended.
I have been here twice now and I would absolutely recommend this place. He is so quick and always does a great job. He is way more affordable than I thought and it's appreciated along with his great craftsmanship. This is place you want to go to get your watch repaired.
Reliable watch repair people. Fast, cost efficient, and good work. I took my watch to another place while they were closed and regretted it. Luckily Kong was able to repair it afterwards.
Brought in a watch for a battery replacement, and received fast and friendly service. Reasonably priced too. Will definitely come back for any future clockwork needs.
Kong is highly knowledgeable and a very kind man. I have been coming here for sometime now, dating back to when his shop was on 4th Avenue. His services have been a godsend. Whether it was fixing my watch with water damage, a much needed service of watches, battery replacements and now assisting with new straps and bracelets, he is the man! Don't hesitate to bring your timepieces here!
Had Kong change my watch battery and adjust the mechanism. Work was done promptly and professionally. Kong's workshop is easy to find, near 28 St and Memorial Drive SE
On my grandsons Christmas list he wanted is pocket watch fixed. I went to Kong's watch and clock repair. It was conveniently close to home. He had it repaired in no time and a very nice and friendly person. I would recommend him.
Mr. Kong is accomodating, personable and professional. I've just had numerous battery replacements and a crystal replacement. And I am extremely satisfied with his work and he is reasonably priced as well.
I wish I knew about Kong long ago. He only charges $10 for a battery change. Up til now, I've been paying $15, and one guy wanted $17. No lie. For any kind of watch repair, I will only see Kong from now on. Keep up the good work!
After taking my watch to several jewellers around town, I was referred here. After being told no one had the tools to open the back of my watch and that it was too complicated to put a new battery in it, Kong did it in 5 mins! Love this guy. His business is very clean and organized and he’s very pleasant to deal with. I’m bringing all my watches here in future.
I just came to Kongs place, he has a wonderful sleek set up downstairs in the home. You can just walk to the back door and he did my battery replacement super fast for a good price too.
Probably the only true Horologist in the city. As a timepiece collector, Kong will always receive my business! He's a wonderful person that does excellent work
Great service from Kong. Very friendly and he's very knowledgeable about what he does. Quick turnaround time and everything performed as outlined. Watch is running just fine since he fixed it. Thanks!
Kong did a superb job of restoring my inherited watch that is about 100 years old. He was extremely knowledgeable and is clearly a master of his craft. Pricing was fair, support was easy to get, and he was very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend Kong as a watchmaker. You can find him working out of his house in Radisson/Forest Heights now, which is easy to find and get to.
Thrilled to have found Kong's. He managed to tinker with my Grandmother's anniversary clock and get it working for first time in 40 years. This clock has huge sentimental value, and now my wife of 33 years finally sees it run. Kong is a wonderful gentleman, now working at his basement. Worth going to his locations for any of your problem clock/watch needs.
I go to no other watchmakers when it comes to repair my watch, I had my Omega planet ocean watch repaired and serviced by Kong the watchmaker very lately and my watch works smooth and precise in good shape. I highly recommend this gentleman whom I know him many years for any type of watches and clocks repairs or services no matter what make or brands or how complicated they are, you will never get disappointed or regretful.
Scratched the heck out of my watch bracelet and deformed the pin heads. Should have ordered the right screwdriver and done it myself. Check out his workspace and display. How you do one thing is how you do everything.
This hole in the hall is such a gem to downtown Calgary. Had my watch back within 2-3 hrs and the quote he gave me ending up being a lower cost since he finished it quicker.
Absolutely the best place to go for any watch related needs. They are super friendly and knowledgeable. Its always important to support local businesses!
Truly such a local gem, I've come here twice over the years to replace a watch band and get a battery replaced and service has always been quick and friendly. This is a 'mom and pop' establishment and the prices are so affordable! I recommend anyone who still wears a watch to come here and support a very wholesome small business.
