Had a great first time buying experience with Chris, gave me great information and consultation. Would definitely recommend.

Battery card
Ivy R.

I couldn't believe that this shop has been at Irvine Spectrum Center forever. Now I know where to go when I need batteries not only for my watch but for my car key. What's more is they have a sort of a reward program- you get a stamp on the card every time you purchase a battery; after few visits you get a free battery replacement. People here are ready to help and answer questions about watch battery replacement.

Receipt had an extra $10 for each battery

They up charged me by $20 after giving a false quote and we had to return twice to get our money back. I came here to adjust my two watches my mother gave me recently and they up charged me. The quote we were given was $45 for new batteries and $20 for adjustments. But when we received the receipt, they charged us an extra $20 and feigned ignorance. At first they only gave us $10 back but eventually gave us the other $10 after our repeated explanation. The employees did not seem apologetic at all and acted exasperated once we came back. Edit: This store is completely unprofessional. There are multiple reviews with similar experiences to mine. The business manager responded to my review minutes later because they knew what they did was wrong.

Beautiful workmanship on replacing 6 new prongs with my new diamond over the previous old stone.
Ming C.

I lost my hope trying to find a right jeweller to replace a better quality diamond over an old stone on this ring, every jeweller I asked for quote charging an arm and leg to do the setting. My friend recommended Just In Time at Spectrum, I was skeptical at first since their specialty seems to be for watches more than other jewellery, but after discussion with Kevin, his knowledge convinced me that this is the right guy! Boy my ring is gorgeous and the labor charge for the job is the best in town. I've seen many top notch world class workmanship on diamond rings, Kevin didn't disappoint me even a bit. Thanks!

My fiancé began his ring search knowing almost nothing about diamonds but was willing to explore…read moreand learn. He visited several jewelers across OC, from large retailers to family owned stores and even some that were recommended by other friends/family but none compared to the genuine care and honest customer service he received from Kathy and Jenny here! I came with my fiancé on his first visit here to get sized and choose some shapes that I preferred. Kathy patiently walked us through sizing and explored different shapes with zero pressure and so much patience. We loved how relatable she was and how natural and genuine our convos went! When he returned on his own, Jenny took her time to educate him fully and showcased her expertise (being in the business for 30+ years) and made sure he truly understood every detail, not just the 4 C's, but things other stores never even mentioned so he could feel confident making such an important decision. They actually encouraged him to even take his time and check out other places to make sure he was confident in his decision. This kind of customer care made all the difference! I didn't see the ring until the proposal, and it was absolutely perfect! But what makes it even more meaningful is knowing how much thought, care, and intention went into choosing it and how much of that came from the guidance he received there. I really can't thank both Jenny and Kathy enough for making his experience so smooth and seamless! If you're starting your ring journey and feel overwhelmed, go to South Coast Jewelers. They don't just sell you a ring, they make you feel confident, excited, and taken care of which makes this kind of experience so much more priceless.

My boyfriend initially went in on his own to look for engagement rings, and unfortunately, the…read moreexperience was not welcoming at all. He felt judged right away, as if they didn't really want him as a customer. He was genuinely interested in finding a ring and doing business with a local jeweler, but it felt like he was underestimated from the start, which was disappointing. What made it more upsetting was that this is an Asian-owned establishment, yet the environment felt very judgmental and uninviting. During that first visit, they offered to email him the paperwork with ring details and sizing information--but we never received anything. At that point, we were still actively shopping around. When I later went back with him, the staff seemed slightly friendlier once I was there (I'm Asian), but the overall vibe was still the same--very cold and not particularly interested in helping us or earning our business. Again, we asked for follow-up emails, including the GIA paperwork and details we discussed in person, and once again, nothing was ever sent. In the end, we decided to skip this jeweler altogether and take our business elsewhere. Honestly, I'm glad we did. A big purchase like an engagement ring should feel exciting and welcoming, and unfortunately, that just wasn't the experience here
