    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

    This is my go to shop for anything watch related. I always get the best price and extremely fast service when I stop by. I've bought many watches here and get my batteries replaced here. The owner is super knowledgeable about watches. I HIGHLY recommend.

    Shout out to Mo! Got my BapeX watch ticking & adjusted in about 10min 1 stop shop!!! Highly recommend Mo for any watch needs!

    $20 is what I paid for a high quality watch battery replacement. About Time quoted $70 for the same service!

    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

    Mo changed out all the bands, now they are as good as new!

    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!

This ring is deeply sentimental to me. I bought it as a teenager and wore (and fidgeted with) it for years. After it was initially damaged and that repair failed, Magic Touch not only fixed the re-break, but made it stronger without adding bulk, perfectly straightened the bands, and finished it with a beautiful polish. I know this ring inside and out, and I'm hard pressed to find the fracture point. They had my ring repaired in under 24 hours and treated it and myself with genuine care.

Overall I'm very satisfied with how my rings fit, the easy transaction and the friendly service. The place itself looks like a hurricane lives there though, there are piles and piles of knickknacks all over the place at the entrance and behind the counter but I took a look at some of the rings they have there and they are definitely one of a kind and at reasonable prices too so I guess this hot mess comes with a big side of charm. I would definitely recommend this place for any jewelry alterations you might need.

My ring came from a local but semi-big jewelry company, and I wanted to share my concern first with a local and reputable jeweler. Liz went above and beyond to take multiple steps to make sure that my concerns were heard. As someone who doesn't know that much about fine jewelry, I had complete trust in Liz's expertise and her suggestions for following up on my concern (e.g. looking up the GIA certificate number, connecting with the individual who wrote my appraisal, connecting with my original jeweler with specific guided questions). For about two months of this journey, she was alongside me during many of these steps and precautions, including connecting multiple times on the phone to make sure that I was comfortable with each step we were taking. By the end, I was satisfied with the information we cleared up, and the steps we took to confirm that the 'crack' was a natural inclusion that came with the stone before it was placed in the ring setting. Liz's thorough commitment and generosity to help me, despite me not being an official client, speaks volumes to her level of service and dedication as a local jeweler. When it was time to design our wedding bands, there was honestly no one else I had in mind after how generous Liz was with my initial concerns with my engagement ring. Liz worked with my fiance and I to design our pieces. Something that sets Liz apart is that she will be upfront with you about a piece, telling you its longevity and practicality for your daily living, while also giving her professional opinion about how it looks. We never felt pressured to get a certain piece or go a certain direction, and she worked with us to better understand what we were looking for and narrow down the final vision. In the end, we both created custom pieces with complete confidence in Presley and Co. For any future brides, this was easily one of the most enjoyable and straightforward tasks of wedding planning. We love our pieces, and I couldn't be happier.
