Frank is a master watch tech with over 30 years of experience who has worked on several of my watches including TAG-Heuer 2000 and 6000 chronographs and various Seiko models I've owned since new. All of them are working great and I will continue to bring all my watches here for any service needed because I know the work will be done properly and with care. Pricing is not cheap but if you want the work done right, this is the place to go. read more

This shop really helped me out with a discontinued Seiko. I have a Seiko Kinetic which is no longer made and needed a battery (capacitor?) change. Other shops said that I needed to change the whole movement at a cost exceeding the initial cost of the watch. This shop said no problems and promptly replaced the battery. They were helpful and courteous! Thanks! read more

Super friendly and helpful staff, awesome collection of watches and clocks. I will be bringing all of my repairs here!

I called, was greeted politely by the man on the phone. He gave me a quote on my watch and was able to fix it almost immediately. The sweetest lady and man welcomed me when I went in for the repair of my watch. The interior is very clean and represents numerous brands with watches of many styles. I highly recommend this store for any watch repairs or purchases. read more

I literally copied this review from another Yelper. It's 100% true and reflects my experience EXACTLY: "I called, was greeted politely by the man on the phone. He gave me a quote on my watch and was able to fix it almost immediately. The sweetest lady and man welcomed me when I went in for the repair of my watch." "The interior is very clean and represents numerous brands with watches of many styles. I highly recommend this store for any watch repairs or purchases." I don't know what else to say. This business is professional, clean and welcoming. I will be back soon for some purchases for an event! read more

I had a Japan domestic Seiko Marinemaster that needed a new battery. I emailed Seiko service and was told that they could no longer service my watch. I was referred to Time Zone by a fellow watch nerd. The experience was 10/10. Got an accurate quote over the phone. I priority mailed the watch and got it back in 9 days. New battery, pressure tested and the case cleaned. The staff were friendly, prompt and communicated well. The service wasn't cheap, but I was confident that my watch was in good hands. I'm very happy that someone turned me on to this excellent shop. read more

Time Zone is the place to go for Seiko watch enthusiasts . The staff was very knowledgeable, acknowledged me as soon as I had both feet in the door. I needed their help adjusting the bracelet. They took a quick measure explained the options of removing links and making micro adjustments. The watch was taking to the workbench and a few minutes later, less than 5 minutes , my new watch fit perfectly. Thank you so much! read more

I highly recommend this watch store! Frank was helpful and went above and beyond in terms of service and product knowledge. He fixed the crown and stem of my solar Seiko chronograph that I've had for years. It has a lot of sentimental value. He was informative and patient with my questions. He let me try on a G-Shock too and explained the subtle differences in G-Shock Watch models. When you go to Seiko Watch Time, ask for Frank. He'll take care of you. read more

I wish I had found Frank's business earlier before I bought my Seiko 5 SRPD55K3 at a corporate retail store because I love to support a small business that truly has a passion for watches and holds a higher standard for their work ethics. Also I love the first name basis clientele greetings on my second visit. Always good to build a great relationship amongst clientele. My first visit I was greeted with a friendly smile from Frank and his wife. Frank also sized my oyster bracelet on my Orient Helios and I was also interested in a leather strap for it so Frank and his son swapped it for me and I was thrilled. My second visit I came after I did a little early Christmas gift shopping spree at Fashion Island and I wanted to see if Frank had gotten the Seiko 5 SSK003 GMT in stock and fortunately he did and I purchased it. He sized the bracelet for me and I was ecstatic. Thank you again Frank! Although I am fairly new to the watch world, Frank was more than pleased to educate me on certain watch movements, how a particular watch functions, type of parts on a watch, and watches in general. That's something I will appreciate especially from an expert and veteran watch enthusiast like himself. I definitely plan on coming back shortly for more pieces and for future services. Nothing but good vibes and friendly interactions from both Frank's family and customers. A well established business that now has a forever client for life. read more

I have been coming to Time Zone now for a couple of decades. This store has consistently been here on the corner of Adams and Harbor Blvd for over 30 years!! I regularly buy my watch batteries and watch bands here, have cleaning and maintenance on my watches done here by Frank, Sally and their son. This last time I came in and they sized up and removed a few links from my newest watch gifted to me by my uncle. They took care of it while I waited not much more than about 10 minutes. While I was waiting I witnessed Frank assisting an elderly couple and his kindness and attention to detail while making sure that the woman's watch was cleaned and maintained to her liking. It's this very personal service that keeps me and so many other folks coming back year after year after year. If you are looking for watch repair, cleaning, or something to buy for a loved one or someone special then I highly recommend coming by Time Zone. They're an official Seiko seller and have an incredible selection of new and gently used watched. They can also do repairs on your various wall clocks and mantle time pieces. If you're looking for something to spruce up your dorm room Time Zone also has those wonderful old school Kitty wall clocks with the eyes that move side to side!! Enjoy the pictures and stop by Time Zone today!! They're right on the corner of Adams and Harbor Blvd next door to the newest dispensary in Costa Mesa, Off The Charts. You can find my review of that place in my other "dispensary" reviews section. Enjoy!! read more

Not helpful at all. I have never feil more unwelcome anywhere. Go to the watch store on Adams and Brookhurst they are knowledgeable and friendly. The selection is better also. read more

Omg. I came here to have 1 link taken out of an old family vintage heirloom watch. Frank greeted me with a smile and examined the band very carefully. He had his doubts because the band was very old and the don't make bands like this anymore. Long story short he was able to fix it for me and charged me only $35 to do so, when some other repair place that does high end repairs wanted $500+. And he was able to do it in less than 1 hr. Honesty, hard-work and integrity. These qualities are sorely lacking in today's retail world but not here at Time Zone. Thank you Frank! You are a true blessing to all who visit your store. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. read more

Stopped in here after being referred by a jewelry store that doesn't do watch repair. My watch was too loose on my wrist and without missing a beat I was met by Frank the owner and he fixed my watch in less than a minute and didn't charge a thing. I love supporting small businesses like these who greet you with a smile and take care of their customers. If you're in need of a watch repair or just shopping for one, stop by and visit Frank. He'll take good care of you. read more

Great vibes at this shop. The inside is so clean and nice. I needed to cut some bands for a new watch to fit my wrist and the service was super friendly and quick. I was in and out probably 5 minutes. Would definitely come back for future watch repairs. Seemed like it is family owned. Please support small businesses like this when you can. read more

Staff is always so pleasant to deal with! The service is outstanding, the wait time is reasonable!

This place is amazing. Frank and Kevin have been nothing short of awesome. They have been extremely helpful and kind. The customer service is OUTSTANDING. If you are into watches (especially seiko), I suggest highly recommend visiting Time Zone. read more

My father has been a regular here for quite some time, and I've been going frequently over the last few months since I moved here. Frank and his wife and son are all fantastic people, and Frank and Kevin in particular are both incredibly knowledgeable and capable. I've given them some tough jobs recently, and am always blown away by the results. I have yet to run into a watch related issue that this place can't fix. Even beyond just the service, the selection is great too. Plenty of Seiko, Citizen, and other brands. Lots of variety, from dressy to sporty, and very reasonable prices. Quite honestly, I can't say enough good things, and this review is long overdue. read more

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

I have been a watch collector for many years, and I have always looked for the best watch repair store, and I've find the spot with Frank and his staff at the Watch Time Zone on HARBOR BLVD in Costa Mesa.

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

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
