I was in desperate need of a new watch and I went in and there was john ready to help me with his excellent prices. I love going to John Sofia jewelers because I've always felt respected by him. he is always reliable in selling me a great piece. Great family too.

Owner refuses to provide a receipt for the cost of a repair. The lady's argument is : "Do you know how many receipt books we would go through!" After a strenuous dialogue the receipt was provided while telling me the price should have been more BUT without a priced work order that discussion was mute. Will never ever go there again! The man who was the original owner on West Side Ave in Jersey City is not being honored by his next generation.

Found this shop on Yelp and it is definitely worthy of all Five Stars. I usually get my watches serviced in NY, and learned that I've been overpaying. I've been trying to support my local businesses and John just happens to be a watch master. This is unsolicited and you should definitely support this shop!

I came here about a year ago to pick out an engagement ring for my now fiancée. The ring came out perfect! John is a genuine guy and was a pleasure to deal with. He gave some good advice and knowledge about different types of diamonds. He was also very fair with the price. I will definitely consider coming back here when looking for our wedding bands.

I attempted to change the battery in my expensive G-Shock watch on my own and ended up accidentally pulling out the watch face and bending the contacts. I thought I just ruiined my wedding gift but brought it to John Sofia Jewelers. The owner was very nice and was able to fix it in a few days. He saved my watch and a lot of money. His pricing was super fair and felt like I was taking advantage. I was so happy I gave him a 25% tip. I highly recommend coming here with repairs for your jewelry.

Good local jewelry store. Specializes in jewelry repairs. Run by brother who does the repairs and sister who handles the counter. Very honest and reliable.

We recently bought our wedding bands here and were very happy with the experience. Mary Ann was so sweet and helpful. She and John helped us get exactly what we were looking for (and on a tight time schedule too). A great family-owned place.

I showed him my leather watch band, which I thought was too thick and cumbersome. I said it had been a gift. The watch needed a new battery. He told me to give the band a chance. He could have tried to sell me a new watch and band. He just put in a new battery. An honest jeweler.

I cannot say enough good things about John's skills as a watchmaker. As an experienced collector I've brought my watches to many different watchmakers over the last 30 years. John is without a doubt among the best. In addition he is a real gentleman, friendly and very easy to work with. His pricing is extremely reasonable. A real find, I don't know what I would do without him!

Went here to have two watches serviced, even thought it was out of my way because I read the Google review from a customer who had a Rolex brought in for service. As you can see by the picture I posted on Yelp, both watches came out spectacular especially with their new bands. John is a master Watch Maker. This was evident by his work area with all of the specialty tools needed to work on watches. I only know of one other Jeweler in NJ that has a Watch Master on premises, most send your watch out. The price to service my watches was extremely reasonable, I highly recommend a visit to have your watches services.
