    Newly release Seiko Speedtimer SSC961. The Watch Connection has the best price.
    Nhut N.

    This review is for online order. I ordered a newly released Seiko from The Watch Connection on Monday and got the item on Wednesday. The watch came nicely and securely packed. I'm very happy with my purchase and service from The Watch Connection.

    I've been getting back into G-Shocks lately and saw a bordeuax special edition on the website and called to check if it was still available and it was. Stopped by and Noah helped out. Nice store, breezy purchase and overall great experience. Highly recommend The Watch Connection

    This Gem is from Heaven! the Aura of Magical Arabian Nights, and the Treasure of Alli Baba await you at the Watch Connection at 3033 Bristol St Corner of Bristol and Paularino st in Costa Mesa. Greeted by Rob Hashem master Jeweler and so glad to see the great repair Mr. Jost mar who mends and bends gold and Silver like a surgeon with the Golden Touch of King Midas touch, make a stop before or after lunch and see a real Frank Sinatra Bulova and other choices for Dad or your best Girl, after all diamonds are a girl's best friend.

    Housing and strap thickness- top is the original

    These are 100% fake watches. I own the original and the fake is not even a good fake. Everything is clumsy from thickness of watch housing to strap, crown and clasp. Do not buy.

    One of my watches needed a battery replacement so I decided to take it in to Watch Connection. Upon entering the building I was greeted by the friendly staff and was in awe of the spectacular display of watches. They carried an impressive collection of high quality and luxurious brands. I've recieved exceptional service and they changed my batteries very quickly. When I revisit the store, I'm definitely going to purchase one of their elegant watches from them. Their staff is very knowledgable and professional. They made a great impression and I look forward to returning.

    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

Let me…read moreexplain, all the batteries sold in Little Saigon were reasonably priced $8 to$10 but they only lasted 6 months instead of 1 year, I even had them dead during my trips so even if I bring 2 watches it was very annoying so here I am at Time center. This store has been in business over 40 years, the owners are from Thailand so I know this is really legitimate not like many fly by night outfits! It's $12 for a regular watch n $20 for the Tagheur watch battery. It took 30 minutes so we went to Sprouts market. We browse around the store they had beautiful designer watches n even cuckoo clocks! We have a dead cuckoo but I'm not sure I want it fixed the bird drove me crazy n it's too expensive to get it fixed. So this is a one stop for all your watches n grandpa clocks need. I'm at lax my flight is 3 hours! Gosh Schumer stop the shutdown already!, it'll be midnight by the time I get to Miami I'm hoboing here! But I'll have time for another review.
