Been coming here for years, both buying watches and replacing batteries for my watches. The prices have always been fair, along with what they charge for a battery change and watch repairs. From buying my 1st watch from them about 8 years ago (Citizen Eco Drive) to my latest G-Shock, really great place for all your watch needs. Highly recommend as I will continue to be a loyal customer for their 5-Star service. Hope to buy a GMT from them someday . read more

Took my watch here for what I thought would be a simple battery replacement. Based on reviews, I thought it would be a safe place to replace the batteries. Long story short, one of the buttons on my watch didn't work after the batteries were replaced. I was told "it's just the way it is" and this didn't find any missing parts for the pusher when they disassembled the watch. They keep it for another week to see what could be done. I was told the watch was ready for pick-up when I called to check and I thought they figured out the issue and fixed it. Turns out, nothing was done and my $2,600 watch no longer has a functioning chronograph button. To be fair, this watch is unique and if not careful, something can break during battery replacement. I took my watch to another shop with a watchmaker and was told that it looks like the housing that holds the movement and pusher in broke when the battery replacement was attempted. The only way to fix it would be to send back to the manufacturer to replace the movement. At least I know what happened and what needs to be done if I want to fix my watch. If you have a basic watch, I guess it's okay to take it here, just think twice about bringing anything that may be more complicated. read more

Had an amazing experience here! Joel was the representative assisting when I came and he was honest, transparent, thoughtful and just an overall pleasure to deal with. He offered very reasonable pricing to have my watch polished and did a fantastic job. Additionally, I was in the market for a new watch and he was very knowledgeable. Ended up walking away with a very sleek daily Nixon watch and a sparkling clean Burberry (the watch I brought in to be polished). My Burberry watch is around 3 years old and it looks almost just like the day I got it. Thank you so much Joel! You are amazing to work with. read more

Bought my fiancée a Bulova watch here very reasonably priced and I was very content with the quality of it and the helpfulness of the associate who helped me pick it out I believe her name was Janet. read more

i took two new chain watches i bought because i needed to shorten the band. they charged me $15 for each, so $30 total (very reasonable in my opinion). they were done within 15 minutes. i simply went to get food from the food court and by the time i was back, the watches were ready read more

Called mid day to ask if he can adjust and over the phone he was very helpful. Good customer service and very honest! Also very reasonable with prices 10/10 recommended read more

Normally I would never go to a kiosk type place in the mall to have my watch serviced, but all I needed was a couple of links taken out of a new watch. Hosseim was fantastic! While he was taking out the links in my watch I saw one in the case that I really liked. Tried it on and knew it was the better choice than the one I brought it to have shortened. Hosseim included the size adjustment in the cost of the new watch and did not charge me for taking out and then putting back in the links on the watch I brought in to him. I will definitely go back for all my watch needs! read more

Always greeted with a smile. Gentlemen behind the counter are always super pleasant and always helpful. Helped me pick out a gift watch. I will be back to pick one out for myself ! read more

Purchased a new battery and new Nixon watch, Marta was a great help! She was very friendly, attentive, and replaced my battery very quickly. They have a lot of nice jewelry outside of just watches as well! Definitely will be back for my all repair needs and any new watches In the future! read more

My mom and I came to the Brea Mall Friday night to do some shopping and we found ourselves at Time After Time on our way out. My mom carries around a watch in her purse that needed a new wristband. It was a gift from her sister-in-law, and she misses wearing watches so I suggested she ask the guy about replacing it. He helped us right away, asked my mom what color she wanted, and replaced it within 10 minutes. He seems like a nice guy. Lost one star because my mom put on the watch only to realize that the battery is dead. I was honestly surprised he didn't try adjusting her watch to the correct time of day. Wouldn't you think the guy fixing a watch could have said something about the dead battery while we were still there with him? I guess he missed his chance to sell us a new battery. read more

I met with Chris to repair my battery on my watch. He was clear and concise as to what is wrong with my watch and the hat needed to be fixed and how to care for it. He was also nice enough to give me a discount. I would greatly recommend him for quick fixes at the very least. He also gets a lot of business, which reflects his work read more

Not only do they carry a great selection of G-Shock watches in their inventory, the customer service is great. I enjoy talking watches with people who know watches, watchmaking, and service. Too many times, smaller kiosks are manned by cashiers who can only sell you a watch or change a battery... Martha, Michael, and Chris are much more capable and informed about watches. read more

Went in to have my wife's watch band adjusted and was greeted by the owner. What a pleasant place they all were so very nice. Thank you and we will return again read more

I'm too lazy to read the directions on how to size my new watches as they're always different, so I just come here and they usually get it done for me within 10 minutes. Great prices for new batteries and always friendly. Plus a great little selection of rings and watches. Michael helped me out this last time, really cool guy. Appreciate this business! read more

For all you Yelpers that love to eat (and I'm sure 99% of you all do), an average person who reaches the age of 70 would have spent about 7 years eating in his or her lifetime. So that doesn't give us much time now, does it? I'm always on a schedule and constantly check the time. That means having a good selection of watches to help me. I'm noticing these days that my watches are out of battery so I need a place where I can get my watches fixed pronto. Nothing like the good old Brea Mall to have a booth located right next to the Food Court, where I can go for repairs during my lunch hour. The two guys behind the counter tell me that it'll take about 10 minutes of my time to replace the battery, which to them is about $15 of my money. I have yet to find any other location where it costs cheaper than what they charge for replacing batteries. Also, I had a small issue with the sweep seconds hand on one of my watches and they advised that I don't repair the watch instead of them trying to fix it for a fortune. This shows they're honest and won't waste your "Time" - Boy George & the Culture Club. Their booth is not that big so don't expect a large selection of watches if you're looking for one. They also don't sell any clocks either. I'm sure you can get better deals with these items elsewhere or on the internet. NOTE, if you need to size your watch, go visit any department store (ie. Macy's) since they will do it for FREE. "So little time and so little to do." - Oscar Levant. read more

I recently purchased a ring from here and was very satisfied with everything they had to offer. I purchased the ring and made a mistake on the ring size. Time After Time went over and beyond the make the situation right when they did nothing wrong. I am very happy with them and so thankful we can still support small business. read more

Great experience every time. Martha helped me today and was very friendly and helpful. I've had them remove links from watches and replace batteries. They're careful each time and care for your items. Thanks! read more

I just got my G-Shock band repaired less than a month ago by Martha and she did a great job. Unfortunately my daughter was using my wrist as a swing set and rebroke my watch band last night. So I came in today and Martha had my back and fixed my watch again at no extra charge. It's hard to find great customer service these days and she went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied. I recommend any and everyone to bring their jewelry, watches or whatever here to time after time at the Brea Mall for theue incredible deals and even more incredible service. read more

Martha was so sweet and swift with replacing the battery on two watches for me! She finished 5 minutes early and gave me a great price! And she even set the tube accurately on both watches for me! It was great service! Thank you Martha! read more

I got to shop right before he was closing up and he still helped me take a few brackets off my watch. Real cool dude and helpful. Great service! read more

My mom's watch recently stopped working so my dad called an Asian store near his work place and they told him that a part of my moms watch is broken and to fix it, it costs $450. We were in the Brea Mall and spoke with George and told him the situation. He took a quick look at my mom's Omega and said that it is most likely the battery. He took it apart and confirmed that it just needed a battery replacement. He was so honest and FAST that my family and I were so truly amazed at his service! Will return to Time After Time as long as George is there. Saved ourselves $450. Definitely recommend! read more

Worst customer service I've ever seen. It clearly states on the receipt, "Exchange only or store credit". They changed the battery in my watch, and it still didn't work. It was only $11, so I would have been okay with returning the battery for store credit to buy a new watch. They refused. I would have been alright, again, had the man been polite. Had he said something along the lines of "Sorry, it's store policy" or "I'm sorry the wording wasn't clear on the receipt", then I wouldn't be writing this. Instead, the man yelled and yelled, getting more and more belligerent. When I asked him to explain why I couldn't get store credit as it says on the receipt, he just kept yelling "All sales final!" repeatedly. When I asked why he was getting so angry, he responded, "Sue me! Just sue me!". Basically, he would prefer to yell over a price inconsequential enough to be sued over, rather than honor the words printed on the receipt. All over $11 of store credit. Keep in mind, the minimum price of any watch there is $75, so he lost a profit for no good reason. My advice; avoid at all costs. Go to Sears for your watches, batteries, and resizing. read more

I was there just browsing and s saw a great selection of watches more then any other place in the area. The guys working there showed me some new styles that just came out. I liked their selection so much I ended up getting 2 Meister watches from them. They were honest and courteous, couldn't have asked for more. I'll definitely be back next time I'm shopping for a watch. I highly recommend to come here if you're in the market for a new watch. read more

See all

I'm extremely grateful for the wonderful customer service. George was very kind. I greatly appreciate them and highly recommend them.

This is the ONLY place I will take my watch collection for service. I have over 15 watches and I trust Time After Time with all of them. One is a 1955 Elgin De Luna 18K White Gold. I have several Michael Kors, Tommy Bahama's, Seikos, Converse, Swiss Army, Envicta. I trust their work implicitly. Not only is their work first rate, their personnel is first rate as well. Michael always has a smile when he greets me. They remember me every single time. They give you an estimate of when your time piece will be ready and it is always ahead of schedule. I had a MK watch with a fogged crystal, I told them I needed a new battery. When I picked it up they said they "I noticed the crystal was foggy so I cleaned it up for you!" I was shocked, my watch looked brand new again! They didn't even charge me. That is the type of service that keeps you coming back! Several of my watches are water rated, they had no issue working on them like some places I'd been to before. I have the utmost confidence in Time After Time, don't take your business anywhere else if you care for your timepiece! They will take great care of you, and your timepiece, you won't be sorry you did! Your timepieces will thank you!! read more

I have been going to Time After Time for a while now to buy Christmas gifts and gifts for my nephews and nieces. I recently went over to change some batteries and the gentleman working was so helpful and honest! One of my watches had problem with the movement, and he opened it up and explained to me. He said that he will not change a battery just to change it. He even cleaned the inside of my watch!! It was pretty awesome to know that i brought my watches somewhere I can trust. If you have any issues with your watches, Chris is the watch doctor and he will make sure to take care of you!!! read more

Worst customer service ever! GEORGE was rude! Not helpful at all! They replaced a battery in my husbands watch and broke it! Would never recommend to go there! read more

From high end time piece to regular priced watches, he knows all the mechanisms that should be inside a watch. battery changes is usually super fast at a very reasonable price. Five stars watch Shop! read more

I love this place. I always go there to get new batteries for my watches. On my last visit, I had a watch needing repair. They told me it would be about two weeks and $30 to repair. However it turned out that the whole inside of the watch needed to be replaced. They only charged me their original quote of $30.! I couldn't believe it! So professional. I will always be a returning customer. read more

I took my watch in for service. George was the salesperson that helped me. He was very professional and took his time to ensure everything was properly working on my watch. Would highly recommend!!!! read more

Past by here today and saw a watch I like, I don't care if the watches are overpriced, but employee was so rude, it was a white, maybe a Hispanic man, he was the only one there at that time. He was serving 2 women next to me, get the watch for them to try, and I was waiting for him to finish, after these woman left I was just asking him how much is this watch? He answered 350 and tend to ignore me to do his own stuff, i feel like his eyes expression was pissing me off. I stood there thinking that hey maybe this man is preparing come to serve me, ended up with nothing. I'm a Asian that was dressed up athletic today, he probably thing I'm a poor kid that could not afford the watch. Thanks for your racism and judging here, I'm actually a watch collector and wearing a 7k tudor watch today, this man obviously doesn't know about watch industry . And I just found out that your 350 pieces of shit cost 120 bucks on Amazon and Macy's . Everyone! SAVE your money and go to the MACY's nearby instead. read more

DO NOT BUY A WATCH HERE!!!!! Wanted to buy my boyfriend a Nixon watch for his birthday so I headed here and saw what I liked. The watch is usually $500 but he gave it to me for $470. Obviously this deal was too good to be true. As he was boxing up my purchase I asked him, "We're boxing up the Nixon 51-30 right? Just to be sure" and he said "yes" well, when I got home to look at it out of excitement, turns out he sold me the Nixon 48-20. SOLD ME THE WRONG WATCH! I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt thinking he made a mistake so I went back and told him and he apologized and said that he can order the right one. I said okay and that I needed it by Tuesday (my bfs birthday and a good week ahead of time) and he said "I can make it happen" he said he would give me a call "the second it came in" Tuesday came and no call from him so I called and no one answered. Called again and the phone kept ringing. I had to drive over just to talk to this guy and see if my watch came in. He said he was just waiting for ups and that he would call right away. No call. It's now Thursday and no call. So I tried calling and again no answer! I called later and another guy picked up the phone so I KNOW that it is just that guy who doesn't pick up the phone. I went back Thursday and said where is my watch? He said oh for sure Friday or Saturday. So I said I'm leaving for the weekend and I can't get it til Monday so he said he would leave a message when I came. Still no call over the weekend. It's now Tuesday 2 WEEKS LATER!!!! Finally I get a call saying that it will be in tomorrow. I went over there and asked for my money back and walked away. Do not want him to have my business and he shouldn't have anyone else's either!!! Don't buy a watch here if you like to be treated with respect because you definitely won't find any here. Doesn't even get out of his seat to talk to you and is on his cell most of the time. TERRIBLE SERVICE AND VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. read more

Hands-down this place is amazing! The staff knows what they're doing whether it's a high and watch or just in every day watch..

Will highly recommend to all my friends, and let me not forget they carry good quality watches better quality then watch stores in the mall. Thank you read more

I came in needing a new spring pin and battery for a watch. At first I only asked if he had any replacement pins and he kindly took my watch, replaced the missing pin and handed it back to me. I asked how much and he said don't worry about it, just come back when you need something done. So then I let him know I also needed a battery replacement and he said it would only be 10-15 minutes and $10 for my model watch. I talked to him a little bit after the service, turns out its a family business and they've been at it for 20 years. Very nice guy and a great shop to work with. read more

Awesome watch boutique! Took my battery in and got it changed in 15 minutes, they also had some crazy G shocks!! Would recommended this place to all of you guys! read more

One of the best most experienced watch shops I've been to. They have every kind of watch you need. The battery they changes just cost me $10.00 bucks!! Glad I found them, oh and family owned. read more
