I had my Apple Watch battery replaced (my watch was a few years old). Although it was fast,…read morecourteous service while waiting and at a good price ($79), one huge negative soured me -- The non-OEM battery installed was poor quality. The charge only lasted half a day which was worse than the old OEM battery that was below 80% capacity. I then went to Apple to try to try to get it replaced with an OEM battery. I was initially relieved that Apple will still service it. However, the usual Apple $99 battery replacement fee only applies to batteries below 80%, even if it's a third-party (after market) battery! Otherwise it will cost $349 at Apple, so I just decided to upgrade my watch to the newest version (Apple Watch 10 as of the time of this writing). It really sucks that iSquad's cheap battery led me to having to get a new Apple Watch sooner than I wanted to (and having to give up the O2sat sensor feature! (No longer available on newer Apple Watches). You get what you pay for!

I was recently engaged and my Fiancée surprised me with my dream ring from Collins Family Jewelers!…read more I began my hunt for my ring just about a year and a half ago. I discovered Collins from just walking around a plaza I frequented often. I actually had just walked out from a terrible experience at Daniel's just a few doors down and decided to check out Collins, not thinking anything would come from it. Boy, I am so glad I decided to walk through their doors. My first experience was with Chelsea. She was amazing in every way and I can't recommend her enough. Not only did she show me a variety of rings but she also educated me about them in a way that wasn't biased. They are family owned, have amazing prices, and great variety. I have recommended my close friends to this establishment already and can't express how glad I am to have my forever ring from Collins. My Fiancée said the process of getting my ring was smooth and easy. I will definitely recommend everyone I know to come here for years to come. Truly I have no words. Thank you so much Collins family!

I last minute parked in front of this business as I got stressed out from the hustle bustle and traffic. There were signs saying that they tow if you don't go into the few businesses right there, but I was in my car still (never got out) and was in the process of moving. Very trafficky and stressful. I was trying to find other street parking on my map's and then was met with a loud knock on my car window telling me to move if I wasn't coming into the store rudely and honestly really passive aggressively. Almost all of the spots were open there too. Honestly makes me not even want to go into the store now. I understand not being able to park there because it's for the businesses, but I do think it could have been handled better. There was no empathy or questioning just rudely telling me to move if I wasn't shopping there. Just not very kind. She also stood in front of my car until I left.... Very not welcoming and rude.

Jonathan and Robere are both incredibly kind, professional, patient, and meticulous when it comes to every detail. Jonathan worked with us over the course of several weeks to create the perfect engagement ring, and we truly could not be happier with the final result. He took the time to listen to exactly what we wanted, answer all of our questions, and make sure every detail was perfect. The entire experience felt personal and never rushed or pressured, which made such an important purchase even more special. Since then, we've recommended Robere's to friends and family for jewelry repairs and any other jewelry needs, and we'll absolutely continue to do so. We're so grateful to Jonathan and Robere for their incredible work and such a wonderful experience. Five stars all around!

The staff was friendly, communicated clearly about what needed to be done, and the price was fair. I trust them completely with something so sentimental. Highly recommend to anyone needing jewelry repair!

Just realized something I can do is trying to stop some people waste their money here…read more About 3 years ago, my sister in China asked me to shop a Cartier Ballon Bleu for her and she will pay me. I went to C J Charles Jewelers and spent about $5800 got the watch. Unfortunately once my sister had it, it had been problematically not work well. We called the sales and told her the watch is not working well, it either goes too fast or too slow, and of course she wouldn't let us return it or change it. She offered some ideas like wear it more often and shake it etc. We tried but it didn't work out and kept the same issue. We called back again and ask if we can take it back to Cartier for an inspection. She said yes. But the truth is NO! Cartier won't take it because we didn't buy it from any Cartier store but a jewelry dealer! So, we are now trapped and had to wear this problematic watch that not really working all the time and with no help from the seller! It's just one time deal, that's all! They take your money, you got the problem! I hope this will be helpful to anyone that before you buy anything from them.
