I've been here a couple times...mostly to remove a link from a watch for a better fit. Both times Mo was a true professional and I instantly knew that if I needed any work done, he'd be the go to guy. I brought a jacked up Tag for service and repair. Moreover, the crystal was scratched and I wanted it replaced. Mo, the honest and meticulous business owner he is didn't recomend the latter because it would interfere with the aesthetics of the watch. I went through with inspection and repair and declined replacing the crystal based on his recomendation. The watch came back in perfect functional capacity. Ironically, I bought my grail shortly thereafter so I don't even wear the Tag anymore, but I will have it serviced with Mo and not at Rolex in the future. read more

I came in to the shop for the first time yesterday to get a battery replacement and to get a couple of straps adjusted and was a great and expedited experience all around. Mo is a personable guy and he did the battery switch out in barely anytime at all and he adjusted the size of another band I had for no charge so was much appreciated. read more

Fast, efficient, friendly and reasonable. It was extremely easy. A good central location. read more

I visited About Time with the intention of buying an entry-level dive watch with a black dial and rubber strap. Like clockwork, Mo summoned a Seiko and the deal was done. He was gracious enough to show me the ropes and I left feeling a bit wiser than before. Will you pay a premium for buying in-store? Of course, but you also walk away having supported a small business and garnering a unique experience read more

Charged me $20 to remove links. Other places charge way less. I was new to watches so I didn't know I was getting ripped off. Would not go back. Go to different place where they don't try to rip you off. I even tried my watch on and i thought the watch still didn't fit me well, it needed another link removed and he said "it was good". My watch is still loose on me. read more

They wanted to charge me $28 for a new watch battery. Instead I went to Kim My Jewelry and had my battery replaced for $15!

I've been coming here for a decade. He's welcoming, professional, and offers a quick turnaround!

had a great experience for 2 watch repairs . the owner i assume was very pleasant/ great sense of humor. fixed my watches in less than an hour at an excellent value read more

Fast, affordable, and excellent customer service. Gives great warranty on battery replacements and link adjustments.

Came here to see what experiences people had with this business. It came highly recommended, but my experiences echo other one star reviews of the guy who works there. I found him sarcastic and condescending with a rude attitude. At least I wasn't the only one who felt this way. Very off putting and unprofessional. Customer Beware: You may love him, or you may hate him. read more

Stopped into About Time to get two watch batteries changed and one resized--super friendly and super fast! He had me in and out in no time, and everything was done perfectly. Highly recommend to anyone needing quick, reliable watch service--I'll definitely be back! read more

Mo is an exceptionally skilled and honest person. He carefully repaired my vintage watch with great attention to detail, and he declined any extra payment as a sign of appreciation. read more

My Tag H watch is in nice shape but when I put it on last week it wasn't working. Time for a new battery (I hoped). Found this place About Time on line, when I walked in I felt like I had definitely come to the right place. The owner (Mo?) was engaged and friendly, mentioned the price (Tag batteries are expensive) but it was the same as on their site. Had me up and running in 10 minutes or so, I will definitely keep this shop on my list for the future. read more

Went in to get a watch strap change and they were super friendly and knowledgeable. He didn't even charge me so I'll be back in the future... read more

Came in to take some links off of a new watch to make it fit. This shop is a nice little hidden gem that's been around for a long time. Mo, the owner, was super efficient and provided excellent customer service! Definitely recommend this business to all. read more

The last time I needed a watch battery replaced I came here. Was reasonably priced. Now their prices are ridiculous - $70 for a battery replacement?! I had it replaced elsewhere (also top rated watch dealer) for $20. Edit - it's unfortunate that a business owner has to resort to condescending and rude comments to deflect from the fact that they are grossly overcharging for a service. I do understand the process involved in replacing a Tag Heuer dive watch battery. The place I went for the service took the time to explain it, and I assure you they have the correct equipment as they are a Swiss watch dealer. Furthermore, most of my reviews are very positive. However, when I experience a business overcharging for a service, or not providing a quality of service commensurate with what they are charging, I'm going to call it out as a warning. Just consider that before taking your business to About Time read more

About Time - $20 is what I paid for a high quality watch battery replacement. About Time quoted $70 for the same service! - Watches Near Me - San Diego, California

Two of my black watches were out of commission due to problems with the bands. (On one, the retaining strap had ripped off; on the other one, the bands were bleeding color). My wife took both of them to Mo and he had them as good as new in no time! Mo is awesome and we should continue supporting small businesses like this. Will definitely return. read more

I sent an inquiry for an estimate about getting the face fixed and possibly a battery replacement for an old watch in our family. I don't wear watches and intend to give the watch away as a gift. The watch is also a Rolex. I figured a price inquiry isn't a lot to ask for. I did get a response the same night by someone named "~Mo" but was essentially told that "most Rolex watches don't take batteries" so I may have a replica and they don't work on replicas. So.. MOST don't take batteries, meaning some do. But my watch is definitely a counterfeit and you don't want my business. Got it. But wait, benefit of the doubt. Maybe I'm misjudging this exemplary customer service. Here, I'll send pictures of said watch. And the response? We need to see it. Yeah, that makes sense! Man, that probably would have been great to suggest before implying that the watch is fake. Without having ever seen it! Who would have thought! read more

I walk in and am immediately greeted by the owner. He gives me straight up answers to my questions and says he can replace my battery in "just a minute. " He tells me my wife's eco drive Citizen doesn't run on batteries which I forgot and reminds me I could try setting it in the sun for three days to see if it resets. Battery replacement for my watch was half the price I was paying at the place a few blocks from my house. As he handed me my watch which literally took him one minute as he said it would, he shook my hand and thanked me for coming in. This will be my new watch place, I will recommend to my friends and by the way, my wife's Citizen reset and works fine. ( She had not used it for over 5 years.) Thanks Mo, great customer service! read more

What an absolutely pleasant experience! It took me a second to find because it's nestled between a block of restaurants but it was an inviting atmosphere upon walking in. I wish I would have caught the name of the owner but I came in to get a quick check on my husbands watch and get a repair (if needed) Turned out it was just the battery! My sleeping toddler slung over my shoulder, the watch had its battery replaced in probably 3 minutes flat. The owner was easy and friendly to chat with and we were on our way! Price was much less than I expected and very fair Would absolutely go back for any future needs and would highly recommend read more

So happy to have found About Time and Mo! Just needed a battery replacement and Mo was able to do it while I waited a few short minutes. The last place I used had me come back in an hour! Needless to say, Mo was beyond friendly, super efficient, highly cacpable and very reasonably priced. He noticed the watch I was wearing needed to be resized and did it lightning fast and on the house! Can't ask for better or friendlier customer service! Mo, you have earned all my future watch and clock business plus any referrals I will be sending your way! read more

Extremely friendly and knowledgeable business owner. He knows his watches and changes the batteries quickly!!

Such an easy place to get watches fixed!! So quick and great customer service. Definitely my new go to watch place.

Always friendly and patient. Highly recommend. Great neighborhood spot for fixing watches.

Mo is amazing. I walked in and within minutes he tightened, cleaned, and replaced the batteries in both my Tag Huer and Armani watches. He also helped tighten my Chopard when he noticed it was loose. The price was far lower than I expected / paid in the past! Thank You - @iggylovesky read more

This guy is legit and probably the best shop owner I've ever encountered. He will not skip a beat to tell you his honest truth about his expertise. A couple years ago I was inquiring about 2 types of watches and he swayed me to the cheaper one cause he said better quality. That is not something you would ever get from a vendor. So he has my business for life. He is a straight to the point and seems to look out for the customers best interest which is refreshing. He's the Best!! read more

I brought in my wife's family Arlo clock. It wasn't working at all and had not worked for years. Mo gave a very fair estimate and actually completed the job quicker than the estimated time. The clock now works perfectly and keeps great time. He returned it all cleaned up and looking like new. I would definitely recommend this clock repair shop. read more

Mo has helped me tremendously with my watch repairs and has been honest and upfront in giving me fair deals in overhauling my Seiko quartz divers watch. When is came time to replace my 40 year old quartz Seiko he gave me expert recommendations on a great Seiko replacement. I wear that watch everywhere and am completely satisfied with it. The latest challenge I have given Mo is repair of Gramma's mantel clock. I have 100% confidence that Gram's clock is going to be running soon just like new. Go see Mo; you won't be disappointed. Mo knows his stuff as I've adopted him as my 'go to' watch and clock guy. read more
