text: So im new to the area and i need batteries for 3 watches 2 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 see's 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 dont put \"cheap\" batteries in such quality watches.Unless you want to ruin them and thenhe said \"I dont care what you do their not my watches\"\n. Ok so wait.. how much are these special better batteries.. He says $25.00 each but since i have a coupon he'll do it for $20 each {gee thanks} i figuire ok im 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 Eco-drive. 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 case...but not to worry he can fix it for $180.00 if its just the gears ..i ask \"if its not just the gears\"??? he says\" DONT 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 isnt working , and he doesnt even want to put the back cap back on..beacause 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 im not going to risk losing the watch in case he comes up with some crazy amount that the work cost..Nope 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 $20. thats the deal with the FREE coupon. So i leave. Now I also found a coupon for GABRIEL JEWELERS, down the street, $3.99 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 2 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 broken.\".i answer \"well no i need a battery from the factory right??\"..she then informs me to just leave it in the light and that recharges the battery...huh??? wait i thought it needed to go to the factory. she says \" if you keep it in the dark9 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 doesnt work.....at least thats what the man at FREIJ or Mr. Freij had said. she leaves then returns and shows me the TAG watch...holy smokes its working. i ask about the special batteries that for sure this watch needs...the look on her face answered that question.and the water?? it not a big deal it will be okay. so about 20 minutes before i walked through the door of GABRIELs i was thinking it would cost $300.00 to maybe $400.00 dollars to ever see these 2 watches working again and that was with the \"HELP\" of Mr FRIEJ..lucky 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 $4.00. 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 1940 i really thought i wouldnt have to worry about being Helped which in this case wasnt helping me but trying to get me to spend money on work that was'nt nessessary. and ill say it that way beacause for a business that has been around as long as they have,  im sure or at least i hope..it was'nt 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 thats on me. but its a watch battery. i didnt think i would need a second opinion. Thats what happend to me with regard to needing to buy batteries for some watches and thats all i can speak to.
