After finding this place online and reading the reviews I decided to go down and shop for a new Seiko and my 1st btw. I was more than satisfied as the owners exceeded my expectations and they were extremely knowledgeable about the seiko watch I purchased... i will only be returning to this store for any and all of my watch needs... read more

Absolutely exceptional experience with Frank and his family at Time Zone. I've dropped off two vintage Seiko Turtles, 6309 and 6306 which both very much needed new gaskets, service and a water resistance test. I couldn't speak higher of their team for servicing the two vintage pieces under a very short timeframe. Service is exceptional and the two watches are keeping exceptional time with solid power reserves. If you are passionate about your vintage pieces, this is the place that will take great care of your watches and pay attention to every detail. I am very OCD when it comes down to craftsmanship and care and these guys excelled in every department. I drove all the way from Pasadena to visit these guys and will come back again for any service needs. Thank you for such an exceptional work and most importantly a truly welcoming, warm and professional experience. These guys are truly passionate about what they do! Absolutely lovely people to do business with! read more

I have been desiring to visit this business. My watch needed some TLC and this is the right location for this. Time pieces are treasures!

Been going for a couple decades. Hard working, honest and friendly owner. He will explain to you what's wrong. I like how he gives you options and is more conservative in taking watch repairs step by step vs pushing the customer to spend all kinds of unnecessary money. read more

Very helpful. They told me where to buy my sapphire crystal (Crystal times). I was so confident that I had the crystal shipped directly to Time Zone. The crystal was installed and I use the water weekly for scuba diving. Thanks for excellent service and friendly advice read more

Fast service. They fixed my watch quickly and for an affordable price. Also had a great collection of Nixon watches on display.

Great customer service from this family owned shop. They have a wide selection of watches and do repairs. I came to get a watch sized and they were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend them and prices are reasonable too! read more

The guy took my seiko watch for battery change and it worked just few weeks. I went back to ask why it doesn't move, and the owner guy told me that it must be because my watch is old and he may have to clean it up. I asked how much that would be and told me extra $30+ if I remember correctly. I was like forget it, as he said even that may not guarantee of my watch to be working. I felt like he stole my money for changing the watch battery as he charged me to change the battery and I still can't use the watch. If the owner is indeed skilled and honest worker, he could easily identify the problem from the first visit and told me that perhaps the battery change is not what I needed. I definitely do not recommend this place. Look for another. read more

So I have called Frank on Two occasions and he is a watch maker/Repairman and grader and has helped me a bunch with advice and can show you if your watch is Authentic or a real good impostor, counterfeit, or genuine. American Seiko (Psycho) for their watches and business. They are an Authorized SEIKO Watch Dealer. Also Casio too. read more

Time zone has an amazing selection, the prices are very fair, and Frank is helpful and honest. I never felt like I was being over sold or pushed into anything, all in all, a good experience. read more

This watch maker knows his stuff. I think his wife also works there helping customers, she's very friendly. I brought in an older seiko new turtle to have mods parts from DLW put in. His prices were very reasonable, and he turned the watch around very quickly. The quality of the work is excellent and I will certainly be back. read more

Brought my Fossil watch in for a replacement battery. The woman who serviced the watch told me to be careful about getting the watch wet or near moisture, which I thought a bit strange. A few days later, I found that after watering some outdoor plants, that my watch was full of moisture that was visible through the glass piece. I brought my watch to Fossil at South Coast Plaza, they examined the watch and informed me that the rubber seal that sat inside the watch had been removed. When I asked why, Fossil informed me that it was probably done because the seal is not always easy to put in place properly, after the battery has been replaced. Very DISHONEST that "Time Zone" did this without my permission, knowledge, and thereby placing my watch in jeopardy! read more

This is a family owned business to start off with! And I love it more because of that. My boyfriend and I were helped by a father-son duo and to say they were sweet is an understatement. They were so meticulous answering our questions and showing us watch options based on our original desires. They even played with my dog to free up our hands. We ended up walking out with a watch for each of our mom and one for my boyfriend. They were super quick with the adjustments and gave us tips if we need more adjustments at home. I will definitely be back when I want more watches! read more

I have come here multiple times to purchase Seiko, G-shock and Citizen watches. Very pleased every time I come in. Great stock. If they don't have a watch your looking for they can get it. read more

Helpful employees, reasonable replacement watch batteries. Good location with easy access.

My Seiko Shogun (Ref. SBDC029) was running -25 seconds slow per day. Frank was able to regulate it to +4 seconds per day. Simply amazing! Frank took great care when working with my watch- he didn't scratch the case back (I was worried about this), or leave any other unwanted signs of entry. Frank is an honest guy who provides great service, and they have a pretty good selection of Seiko divers, Citizen and G-Shock watches in store. I'll definitely be bringing my other Seiko dive watches in to him, if they need any upkeep, or mod work. read more

I usually don't leave reviews, but the service and quality that I received here was so great, I had to say something. And it's always great to support local small businesses. I dropped off my Seiko SKX007 diver to get it's Crystal replaced. I also had issues with the bezel being locked up. I was quoted a reasonable price by Frank. I dropped it off Saturday morning. I called Monday morning to get an update and Frank told me it was already finished! When I picked it up, the watch looked amazing! He was even able to fix my mistake of trying to replace the bezel insert myself. I accidentally installed it crooked, but Frank was able to level it out. Great service, and reasonably priced. His showroom also has tons of watches! read more

Highly recommend, great watches and even better people. That says something. It's important to help local businesses. I will be back. Btw, this is my first watch ever and I'm obsessed. read more

I was looking for a place close to home and found this place on yelp. After waiting for another customer ahead of me, the woman behind the counter took my watch to replace the battery and within 2 to 3 minutes was finished! I was amazed and she said they changed batteries every day. I highly recommend this store for replacing batteries as I have not used any of their other services. The charge was minimal, and they are friendly and very patient with their customers as noted while I was waiting. read more

Yes! Get in Frank's Zone! After seeking certain Seiko watch for a about two years and checking every option to save money - I purchased it for the retail price from Time Zone. I could have saved money on Ebay but time being money and not knowing what you are REALLY getting on Ebay I now have peace of mind. I know that Frank and team will be there IF i ever need them. Smooth, easy and helpful. Frank will forever by my watch guy. read more

My wife and I bought a pair of matching Seiko Presage watches for our wedding. The staff at Time zone are one of the most generous, patient, flexible people to work with. It is also very assuring knowing that they will take care of your watches after the purchase whether it would be dealing with warranty, repairs or other services. There is a lot of great looking selections of watches too. When budget allows, I am definitely coming back here for my future purchase. read more

I like honest people, and this place is straight to the point, I'm happy with the service

This is an absolutely wonderful place to buy a watch. I bought a seiko and a g shock there. The owners are very nice. I recommend people checking them out if you're in the market for any of the brands they carry. read more

Great product selection, great prices, and great service. The owners are so helpful and informative. Just got a seiko at a good price thanks to their sale! read more

I can't say how excited I was to pick up my watch. I have an older 60's era Seiko that I inherited from my grandfather. It was beat, scratch crystal, no crown left to turn and the bracelet needed help. They were able to find all the vintage parts to fix it and bring some really nice vintage look back to the watch! Everything they found was perfect and I can't say how happy I am with it!!! read more

Amazing customer service and a great price. Everyone was very helpful and their work is just as good. Was able to fix my Sekio sbdc053 which had a movement running extremely fast. My watch now runs at +2 seconds a day!! Seriously amazing and it was only $50 bucks and took only 2 days to get it all done. read more

Really great experience here. I was looking for a replacement business watch for the rolex I recently sold as working from home has made it an infrequently required tool. Had seen some of the nice new seikos on the internet, but no where other than this shop had a good selection. They had all of the seikos i was seeing online available to check out in person and try on (and several other competitive brands). Was one new one in particular I was looking for and they were the only shop I could find anywhere around to have it. Really nice, helpful, and patient even though the shop was busy. They seemed to be juggling serving multiple customers at once while giving us all enough personal attention. Can't speak enough of how impressive that was. On top of all this, they also had a price better than i was seeing online (and very few shops even had stock). They helped fit the link sizing, saving the frustration of doing it myself. And i got to walk out of the shop same day wearing my new watch. We all have gotten so used to buying stuff online, that it's easy to forget the value of a really good old fashioned family owned small business. A million times better than buying a watch online. read more

They were super friendly, fast and competitively priced. Will definitely come again.

I brought my newly purchased secondhand Kate Spade watch in to get a new battery. I peeled the protective plastic off the backing minutes before taking my watch into the shop and it was returned to me scratched and crooked. The battery replacement cost $10 so I suppose I got what I paid for but the scratches are pretty deep. Thankfully they are only on the back... this is probably a great option for less expensive watches but I'm a bit distraught since mine was fairly expensive. The service was very fast (probably a bit to fast considering the damage) but the employees were very kind. read more

I have a Seiko Solar watch that needed a rechargeable battery and I could not find anyone to replace it. After searching on the Internet I found the Time Zone and called them to give them my movement ID and they ordered a battery and the next day they called me to say the battery is ready. I immediately drove to their beautiful store and this place is spectacular. I identified myself and was told it would be $45 to replace the battery. I was told that over the phone and within 15 minutes it was done. They set the time, day and date and my watch was back on my wrist. This watch travelled the world with me and it was only $200 when I bought it 17 years ago. I was told the movement was in great shape, they blew air on it to further clean it and I was told to leave it in the sun for a few hours. I want you to know this family business is so great, honest, kind and very knowledgeable. I took several of their business cards and will be back with several of my friends who have similar problems with their watches. The selection of new watches is set up so perfectly I spent my time looking around. Thank you for saving my watch! read more
