Anaheim Hills Gold Mine (formerly Anaheim Hills Jewelry & Coin)

Anaheim Hills Gold Mine is primarily a jewelry and rare coin shop on Santa Ana Canyon Rd, but it keeps a watchmaker on site for repair work. Battery replacements are turned around in about 20 minutes, making it a straightforward stop if your watch has simply stopped running.

Beyond batteries, the shop is set up to handle general watch repair rather than just jewelry sales. A long-time Yelp reviewer describes using the shop for over a decade for "any and all" watch problems, including band repairs and time adjustments, alongside battery changes. That lines up with the shop's own classification as a jeweler with a watchmaker rather than a dedicated watch specialist, so expect it to cover routine fixes and basic maintenance rather than complex movement servicing.

Other repair work, such as necklace fixes, can take a couple of days, which gives a rough sense of how the shop schedules jobs that aren't quick walk-in fixes. There's no mention of brand specialization or authorized service status on the shop's site, so if you have a specific brand in mind, it's worth calling ahead to ask whether they're equipped for it.

The shop is open seven days a week except Sunday, with consistent hours from 10am to 5:30pm Monday through Friday and a slightly shorter Saturday close at 5pm. Given its location in a retail jewelry setting, it's a convenient option for simple watch issues bundled with other jewelry errands rather than a dedicated horology workshop.
