text: So i am new to the area and i need batteries for watches tags and a citizen I found a coupon for a free regular watch battery at Friej jewelers online Well we all know most of the time there is a catch and free might actually mean just tax just labor whatever but still i had three watches and maybe I would get one for battery free So i get there and the man who i assume is the owner sees the coupon and immediatley gives me the stink eye I show him the watches a he says well these need a tag batteries whaaat i ask Tag makes special batteries NO he says but you do not put cheap batteries in such quality watchesUnless you want to ruin them and thenhe said I do not care what you do their not my watchesn Ok so wait how much are these special better batteries He says each but since i have a coupon he will do it for each gee thanks i figuire ok i am here fine whatever he looks at my other watch the less impressive citizen and tells me it will have to go to the factory for service to replace the battery as it is a Ecodrive Ok these are my watches and i should know more about them or at least at a minimum what they are or do i admit i may not work to care enough about certain things as he is putting the battery in the first tag he stops and says that its not working and there is water in the casebut not to worry he can fix it for if its just the gears i ask if its not just the gears he says DO NOT WORRY ILL HELP YOU OUT later on these words will paint a much different definition of the word HELP I ask him to just put a battery in the other TAG watch and ill talk to my wife about what she wants to do about the first watch they are both hers he insists the first watch is not working and he does not even want to put the back cap back onbeacause it will rust and ruin it ultimately He kindly offers to do the work and i can pick it up when i have the money Now i was raised if you can pay for it then do it but i am not going to risk losing the watch in case he comes up with some crazy amount that the work costNope not goanna do it I ask him to put the watch in a bag he does and he puts the battery in the other watch and charges me that is the deal with the FREE coupon So i leave Now I also found a coupon for GABRIEL JEWELERS down the street for a watch battery I take the other two watches the now uncapped tag and the citizen thinking maybe they will have a better price for ALL the WORK these broken watches need I hand the lady the Tag and the coupon she takes it and says one minute takes it to the tech comes back takes my other watch and asks are you sure it brokeni answer well no i need a battery from the factory rightshe then informs me to just leave it in the light and that recharges the batteryhuh wait i thought it needed to go to the factory she says if you keep it in the dark in a drawer box etc it runs down its a good idea to put it in the light for hours beforeyou use or wear it and presto it works in fact it started working while i was standing there but wait how can that be it does not workat least that is what the man at FREIJ or Mr Freij had said she leaves then returns and shows me the TAG watchholy smokes its working i ask about the special batteries that for sure this watch needsthe look on her face answered that questionand the water it not a big deal it will be okay so about minutes before i walked through the door of GABRIELs i was thinking it would cost to maybe dollars to ever see these watches working again and that was with the HELP of Mr FRIEJlucky for me he was so cool to HELP me out Right but some how some way both watches worked and it cost me a whooping For some business or some people times have been tough with the economy or whatever but you know when the business states its been around since i really thought i would not have to worry about being Helped which in this case was not helping me but trying to get me to spend money on work that wasnt nessessary and ill say it that way beacause for a business that has been around as long as they have i am sure or at least i hopeit wasnt always possible for this kind of thing to happen I will not be going back to this store and felt that i should share what happend Now i must say he did put the battery in the second watch and it works I just got lured in to this store with a coupon for a free service that ended up costing more than what is usally charged in fact double I could have said forget it and not bought anything but i did that is on me but its a watch battery i did not think i would need a second opinion That Is what happend to me with regard to needing to buy batteries for some watches and that is all i can speak to
