[[HIGHLIGHT]]Awesome experience, on vacations I always hunt for watches and this is a great AD to pickup watches from brands like Casio, Citizen, and Seiko.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have been in business for decades and if you want to support a small business with real horological knowledge this is the spot. I had a battery replaced on a vintage watch I found during my trip I wanted to have running and purchased a seiko speed timer in a colorway that is now discontinued. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will definitely return on my next trip to the Bay as there were many special editions on display.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Had an AMAZING watch buying experience at this establishment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After staying in the area and looking through the Chinatown jewelers for watches, I couldn't find a shop with a cohesive and a variety of collections until I stumbled upon Grant Pacific Imports! I bought my very first Seiko watch here: 100% New and Authentic at a reasonable price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Most importantly, I spoke with staff who have a genuine adoration and respect for watches, which provided a meaningful and memorable experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm so glad and will always remember having purchased my first Seiko here. Additionally, the staff also helped my partner get set up with her first Seiko too! They adjusted both our watches already to wear out the door, as well as demonstrated how to maintain and adjust them. Definitely coming back here again on my next visit and will purchase further watches from here. Thank you so much! #watchbroswithmygf read more

I was walking on Grant in Chinatown and stumbled into this small shop that had a wide selection of watches. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The owners were so friendly and the lady helped me try on a few watches to figure out which one I wanted.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ended up getting this cool Seiko watch with the blue face. I really like how the blue and silver go together. They also sized the watch to fit my wrist nicely! Overall, great experience and I highly recommend coming here if you're in the area! read more

I adore this cute little watch store! As a self-proclaimed Seiko fan, I was really happy to stumble across this place on my trip to San Francisco. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was helped out by this lovely lady, that I believe to be the daughter of the shop owner. She was super knowledgeable regarding all the questions I had about the Seikos that they had in stock.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They even had some older 7S26 NOS pieces that I was impressed with. I came in not looking for anything specific, but it was really nice to stumble upon someone who seemed to be as into Seiko as I was. They carry straps too, just in case that's something you're looking for too! I wish I was in the market for a watch, else I would have bought something. They also carry Casio, Citizen, and Tissot! Go find something that catches your eye! That's what it's all about! read more

===TL;DR=== - Change watch battery ===TMI=== They're a family owned business that's been opened for 42 years now - can you believe that! Came here to have a couple of watch batteries changed since I purchased a couple of vintage ones recently. I normally go to Wong Chong Kee on Pacific and Powell but it seems like the owner was either ill or went into retirement so I had to find a new place for watch services. This place is conveniently located on Grant and Pacific. As far as I can recall, this place has been around since I was a little kid but always thought they only sold watches so I never went inside. Glad to know they also service watches here since not many places like these are left. The cost for battery change varies as it depends on the type of watch you have. I bought in 7 watches and the cost varied from $7-$10 for each battery change. On one of the vintage watch I brought in, I noticed the safety chain was missing. Thankfully, they also sold them there so the owner was nice enough to help me pair one back. The chain I believe was gold wrapped and it was $15. My total came out to be $77. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So glad I found them. Now I have someone to go to for any watch problems.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The guy was very knowledgeable and his wife was also very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They only sell new watches at the store now and they carry a great selection. Great store to pop in and check out if you're into watches, clocks, or pocket watches. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Had an amazing experience buying my first Seiko.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Connie is very knowledgeable and helped me pick this out amongst the other cool timepieces she has at the store.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend this establishment if you're looking to buy reasonably priced and amazing watches. Will definitely be coming back again to get more timepieces. They hold a lot more Japanese watches( Seiko, Casio, Citizen etc) than Swiss ones. read more

Grant Pacific is family owned and operated. They are so sweet and such patient people and we are so happy that they worked with us to design our wedding bands. We even got complimentary engravings inside of our bands. They gave us thorough instructions on how to care for our rings. I also purchased pearl earrings to wear on my wedding day and they were so perfect!! We definitely recommend Grant Pacific for their quality and customer service. They are very thoughtful of detail and quality! Check out their instagram for more content: @grantpacific read more

THE best place to buy a G Shock! As a firefighter Everytime I lose one from the heat and flames, this is where I go to get a replacement! They have all the special editions and at amazing prices. The owner and the daughters that run this place are amazing and it's a pleasure dealing with them every time. Highly recommended for any timepiece purchases. I've also taken my Omega here for service as well. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very good service and great customer care.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lots of eye catching watches. I like the pocket watches with chains. Next time I'll have to check out the chain pocket watches or watch necklaces. Thanks read more

Great selection of Seiko and gshock watches. Also came here to service my watches. Battery replacement on the spot. Got my Bruce Lee Seiko and several GShock watches. Great local mom and pop shop to support in the heart of Chinatown! read more

My watch wasn't working properly and needed a good watchmaker. Upon a recommendation, Paul is nice and courteous. He gave an estimate first, and the professional work was done very quickly. I highly recommend this family business! He works with many different high end watches, too. read more

Grant Pacific Imports, which consists of two stores, a gift shop and a watch/clock shop, is located at the corner of Grant and Pacific in Chinatown. I've been coming here for my last five watch battery changes. The workers have always been courteous and the battery change service is always quick and efficient with the wait no more than 10 minutes. Today, I walked in and in 5 minutes and $5, I was out the door with my watch tickin' away. read more

I've always had great interactions with this store. The only certified Gshock dealer with a wide selection in the area. They get limited edition models as well as the staples of the line-up. I'd guess they have around 50-75 Gshocks in stock. Stop by and have a conversation with the ladies here - they're really warm and funny. You'll find yourself laughing in no time... maybe even walking out with a new watch. There's a low cost parking garage right next to the store on Pacific Avenue. You're going to need to utilize it because finding parking in Chinatown will take you more time than it takes to actually walk there and browse their selection. read more

My gift from my husband on our getaway to SF last September; my first visit to the city. Owner and salesperson very courteous and personable. Was open to negotiation.

Grant Pacific Imports - My black pearl gift from my love sept. 2012 - Jewelry Near Me - San Francisco, California

Back in 2007, my Bulova watch's tuning dial broke and I walked through china town to compare prices. A clerk greets me kindly, looks at my watch, sees the brand, and with greed in her eyes, estimates it will cost $50 to repair. $50! No thanks. Other places charge $15-$25. Overall appearance of the store is somewhat neat, but the window displays are chaotic. Everything is overpriced and many are made poorly. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! They have a huge selection of watches and most importantly G-SHOCKS! I come back here to get my friends g-shock watches because they have all the new models and a million choices. it's also such a steal because of the amazing prices. Besides Casio, I also saw that they carry Seiko, Citizen, Tissot, Swiss Army, Fossil watches. Grant Pacific Imports is a gold mine for all watch lovers. There are so many different styles to choose from. This is definitely my go- to place for watches at a decent price. I found out they have been open for over 20 years and all the ladies who work there are really nice. There is nothing better than finding something you like at a great price in Chinatown! read more

Used old battery for my watch and charged me the price of new. Took my watch there for battery change, costed me $10 but battery only lasted one month before it stopped. Went to Pacific Watch on 702 Kearny Street for battery change again and it works like new since then. read more

I've been here twice to get battery changes for my watch. The last time was approx 1yr ago and the lady changed my battery for about $6. This time, I had 2 watches (including the one from last yr). The man who changed the battery told me the inside parts of my old Mickey Mouse watch was all plastic and uses up the battery faster. Never heard that before but my Seiko watch insides were good parts and he showed me as he was changing both batteries in front of me. Of course, my Seiko watch is an antique at this point, approximately 30 yrs. old or more. But, as long as it keeps on ticking, I'll keep wearing it. People complain that for $12 to change 2 watches is expensive but it's not. I've paid more for battery changes when I've not been able to get down to Chinatown like in West Portal or the Richmond dist. and those shop keepers were not even half as friendly. At least the folks who run this shop are willing to have a conversation with you. If you go to Macy's to change the battery, it will run you $12 or more and that was years ago when I had to do that. Another gentleman who came in with his large faced watch was bargaining with them citing that he was quoted earlier that it would cost $12 but when he showed up, he was told $14 or $15. Lots of watches in the store if you are in the market for a watch. read more

Had the battery on a watch replaced for $6. The people are nice and it was quick. I saw them unwrap a brand new battery and put it in the watch. I think a lot of locals come here for their repairs. I will be back in the future. read more
