They always do fast and precision work. The best in the south bay for repairs and the latest and greatest new items !!

If you're looking for watch battery replacement shop in the South Bay, Mr. Time is the place to go. As people in the area may know, the watch dealers in Delamo Mall have all raised their prices for watch battery replacement. Making it quite an expensive process. I don't know why they've done this, they've driven away a lot of customers, but that's just the way it has been. Since they've raised their prices, I've been looking around for another shop that could replace the batteries in my watches for a reasonable price. Mr. Time is just that location. I took two Luminox watches in today. The proprietor looked at them and quoted the price $25. 00 for the first one, and a discounted price of $20. 00 for the second one. Sounded good to me. They got right to work. I walked around the shop looking at their watches and their other items for a little bit, ten minutes later I was out the door. Great deal! This shop is located in the strip mall on the corner of Crenshaw and Sepulveda. Thus, it's really easy to find. Plus, there's tons of parking in their lot, so that should never be a problem. Overall, great experience. read more

I had a disappointing experience getting a battery replacement on my Casio watch. What should have been a simple job ended up damaging the watch, which was both frustrating and unexpected. It was returned in worse condition than when I brought it in, suggesting a lack of care during the process. To make matters worse, the person assisting me was rude and even accusatory when I raised concerns about the damage, which made the situation even more unpleasant. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend bringing any valuable or expensive watches here for repair. It may be fine for very basic items, but I would be very cautious trusting them with anything you care about. read more

Solid, fast and reasonably priced. Will return. Half the price as the mall . The lady who helped was fast

Mr. Time is a great local spot for a battery replacement when you need it done quick. I called around to several jewelry stores in the South Bay, and every single one said they have to send the watch out. My job requires me to have a working watch, and no pun intended, I literally had no time to sit around and wait 3 to 5 days for a simple battery replacement. Upon arriving, I was greeted right away, and was out within 10 minutes. I also got a quote for repairing my Bulova that broke years ago. When I explained what the issue is with that watch, they instantly knew what is most likely the cause, and gave me a quote for that repair. Also affordable considering the watch brand. Mr. Time sells all sorts of brands, collectibles and tchotchkes, so if you're into classic pieces, or need a simple fix, be sure to check them out. read more

This is my go to place for new watch batteries!!! I love my smart watch but I can't always wear it to specific places so I have to rely on my regular watch. When the battery dies, I'm completely lost!! Mr Time to the rescue!! I can always count on them to replace the battery - quickly, efficiently and painlessly. $8 cash or $9 credit card; only took a few minutes. Ok, bye. read more

This place is only good for changing batteries. Shouldn't advertise itself as a watch repair.

Over the past few months have purchased quite a bit of watches needing bracelet resizing to new leather straps. They are always very pleasant and quick to get the task completed. Will keep coming back for more watch needs. read more

My go-to spot for watch battery replacement ever since my usual go-to guy at Morgan Jewelers left (they directed me to Mr Time. Even if the place is busy, they get the battery replaced very quickly. Usually they are able to take care of my watches right there and then, but once the watch I had needed to be sent out because of a particular tool that was needed. The family staff are not brusque per-se, but just there to get the job done. I definitely trust them. Unclear why the sign outside does not actually say Mr. Time, but rather just Seiko lol read more

Finally a place we could trust that will fix any company watches without you being worried about anything being stolen Amazing customer service amazing prices This is my favorite watch and I'm happy that I was able to get it fixed. They also have a nice selection of jewelry, purses, and watches for you to shop around. read more

This place is the best for watch repair. My Michael Kors watch wasn't working so I brought it in. It was the battery so they replaced it. Fast, efficient, professional, and reasonable! read more

I honestly don't know where all these 5 star reviews come from. Bought a Citizen watch from them approximately 4 years ago. One of the reasons why I bought the watch was it came with a 5 year warranty. It didn't make it. After 4 years the watch broke, and when I brought the watch back for repair, surprisingly it wasn't covered under the warranty. The young lady behind the counter was so extremely rude. That alone made me think I wasn't going to come back. As I tried to explain to her what was going on with the watch, she explained I can see that, I work in a watch store. As you can probably guess the problem wasn't covered. They blamed it on citizen and said that they would love to have me look at new watches for sale. NO THANKS. I'm still looking for a store that sells decent watches at a reasonable price. read more

Amazing service! Just now, the day before New Year 2025, I needed my gold watch adjusted. Not only were they open, but they did it in less time than it took for me to browse their watch catalog. They are also super friendly and an absolute pleasure to do business with. Amazing place! Check it out some time. read more

Watch batteries installed for $11 - $18. $54 for four watches. The Movado cost the most. Super nice family business that's been here for 32 years. The daughter runs the business now, but the mom was the one there when I went on a Friday afternoon. It just shows that if you do the work, well people will keep coming. They're even open on Saturdays! read more

I have used this place to repair/and or replace batteries for all of our watches both (analog and digital). The staff are always friendly and greet you as soon as you walk in. They have extensive background knowledge on most time pieces and are very helpful. They also sell new and used brand-name watches. I have yet to purchase a watch, but I plan to the next time I go in. There are some gems that you can't find anymore. Please support this family owned and operated local business. read more

Went there to get my watch band pins replace friendly and helpful staff I just had to come back to pick it up later that afternoon

Easy access, easy parking , next to cocoichibanya (so have lunch while you are there). Came for a battery change: they were great. Inexpensive, super fast. Gave insight into the watch and what to do, not to do with it. Of course, they sell watches also: Casio, seiko and timex were the obvious ones I saw. Small selection but they chose the models wisely as they are the best of their respective brands. They speak Chinese should you need it. read more

Very helpful and friendly! I had batteries replaced in a couple of watches and I replaced the band on one watch. I needed a larger band, so they ordered it and called me when it came in. They replaced the batteries and watch band while I waited. Prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend. read more

My son bought his 90-year old grandpa a Seiko watch for Christmas and Mr. Time adjusted the band to fit my father-in-law's wrist. Thank you Mr Time. read more

I like this little shop for watch repairs. They are fast and friendly and they have great prices. They have some selections of Seiko and Casio watches as well as other watches. It's in the neighborhood and they are a local business, support your local business. read more

So I walked in here with two watches that I needed to get the batteries replaced. They quoted me a fair price. As I was waiting for my batteries to be replaced, I took a look around. I found two nice watches I wanted. I asked for a quote on the citizen watch and They gave me a decent discount. I then asked how much the g shock one and it was at a fair price. So I asked them if I bought both watches will they give me another discount and they did! I walked out there getting both at a great price. Here's the kicker, the Swiss army watch I brought in was kind of difficult and they said they'd need some more time to change it out. Originally they quoted me $25 and when I came back to pick it up, they gave me a $10 discount! I'm definitely coming back. read more

Located in the plaza on the corner of Crenshaw and Sepulveda in Torrance. Parking lot shared with the other businesses. Also notice the color and notice of time limit on certain spots. This place has been in busy for 30 yrs. The staff is friendly. The prices are definitely reasonable. I came to get a watch battery replaced for my mom's watch. Service was fast and affordable. They sell watches as well some brands like Seiko, Casio, and others. I recommend and I'll be back for any other watch needs. read more

An awful experience with mentally ill employees. 10 days ago I had a new band put in my watch there. Today a pin came out of the band. I have regularly worn a watch for many years and this is the first time a pin holding the watch band came out. Today I went there to have the pin put back. Shortly after giving my watch, pin, and band to the older crazy and mean employee, she asked me if the pin was mine. The question is moronic and nutty. I told her the pin came with the watch. She then said the pin was too small. I asked her to use an appropriate pin and I would pay for a new one, if necessary. When they were close to finishing, I asked the younger mean psycho why she didn't replace the too small pin when she put on the new band 10 days ago. She said she couldn't tell then. This was a pathetic answer and possibly a lie. She replaces bands and deals with pins daily. My question upset younger crazy. She said that because of the way I had talked to them she could stop helping me. On two separate visits including this one I heard her criticize the older psycho. When I told her the older psycho said the pin was too small she criticized her again by dismissively saying, "She says a lot of things." I had been direct with my answers and never criticized them or used foul language. Right after the older crazy gave me my watch and old pin and I had paid, she patted the sign that said they can refuse service to anyone and said something like, "We're done." I take that to mean I am no longer welcome there. These people were out of control mean and crazy. I deeply regret ever going there. I was a regular customer for at least 12 years. I bought at least one watch and numerous replacement bands and batteries there. It's gone way bad. read more

2/5/21 Located at the small strip mall along Crenshaw and Sepulveda. Plenty of parking spaces during this weekend visit. Came here to have a wristwatch battery replacement. At the entrance, there was a small table with a hand sanitizer and bell...the teacher's bell type. Rang the bell, a lady came out and got the watch from hubs. We waited inside the care and after around 10 minutes, lady was at the entrance waved at us and hubs went to get his watch. That was quick and it cost $24 as the watch needed 2 batteries. Quick service and we were out! read more

I have recently bough a new watch. It needed the band adjusted, and I I wanted the battery replaced. I found this place sitting along my commute, and stopped in to inquire on their services. The quote was decent, so I had them work on my watch. They were able to take care of both requests, and in a reasonable amount of time. The workers here were nice, and they went the extra mile to take care of me. They also had a guarantee to their work, meaning that I would be able to come back and get the battery changed if it went out within the next three years. This was a nice cherry on top. This place is located in a sizable shopping plaza, on Crenshaw and Sepulveda. Parking is usually not an issue, and the surrounding area is decent. This watch repair place in Old Town Torrance is a good find. I recommend them. read more

Walked in almost at closing time (which I always feel bad about...) to drop off my watch which needed a battery. I expected I'd have to come back the next day, but the proprietor changed it out right there and then! what a pleasant experience! Very reasonable cost - Thank you! read more

The worst customer service experience I've had in a while. I left my seiko watch there for cleaning and service. I was quoted by the manager $150 and if parts are needed then the price would change, understandably. I call a week later about my watch and I'm told the price is $160 now for starting price before any type of service was even done. My ticket had $150 written down on it. I asked about the increase in price and they called me untrustworthy. I went in to pick up my watch and again the manager called me untrustworthy for asking about the increase in price before any work was even done to my watch. If that's how they do business I can only imagine what the cost might come out to for "repairs". My father had this watch since new and I took it to the wrong business to take care of it. read more

very knowledgable and excellent service! Will definitely be back for watch repairs and batteries

Sad. Wanted to like these people. They tell one thing and do another. I was here with 2 other people waiting for our watches. Either we all have a bad string of luck or they don't know what they're doing. One by one we were told that it would be around 200 bucks for more "in depth" repairs. Why did you call to say it was ready if there's other issues? Joke of a business. read more

I've been treasuring this shop for last 28 years (since 1995 when Christina's father was still the owner)! Very honorable and trusted people! They have always repaired or replaced batteries for my watch right away with the most reasonable price. SO HAPPY they are still there as I've seen many of the wonderful local stores have disappeared due to the fact many people buying "online" nowadays, sadly. We need to seriously support a local store like this, otherwise, where would you go if you need to replace a battery or repair your watch? read more

Super quick customer service, I just went in to change the battery for my watches and came out quick. Friendly people!

I recently found a 32 year old Seiko Quartz dress watch which had been sitting in storage the entire time. It was brand new and had never been used. I took it here and the nice lady had a new battery installed for $12 in less than 5 minutes! The watch worked perfectly and I highly recommend this place! read more
