Great place, super nice and helpful staff. easy and quick. I recommend this place if you ever need to repair your watches for cheap.

Dude tossed my watch on the table casually and proceed to lose a screw. I asked him to look for it he said no he doesn't know nor guarantee anything. My mistake taking my watch here. read more

Watch out if you don't want the owner hurt your feelings! This is the first time and also the last time I visit Nhat Thanh store. This morning, I walked in with my daughter to show her how Vietnamese culture business, I saw some items interested and told her there were some items we could probably need and would come back if we need it. The woman stepped out and ask: "which one you want to buy?" I replied: "I want to take a look today only". She then said: "Up to now she had not sell any thing, if I buy then stay, if not come back in the afternoon" I was totally sock, said thank you and stepped out. I told my daughter I will never come back to this store and they lost the potential customer. read more

Small mom and pop shop that happen to work with watch battery replacement and link removal. I came in to get my too big watch links removed, and it came out perfect. The owner helped me balance out links so my watch can fit perfectly and loved it. Thank you so much. Will come back soon when I buy more watches. read more

I went to this place based upon the recommendations posted here. I needed my new Seiko steel watch band repaired. Nhat served me right away and fixed the band in less than 5 min. He asked for a small amount to repair the band, that I asked him twice if he was sure about it. He told me this is what his prices are and just to be sure to come back. I surely will the next time I need a watch or clock repaired. He knows what he's doing and does it well. read more

They got it! I always take my car remote batteries here. Great family, super friendly, and they have the Sriracha! I bought a case for a reasonable price. They have a few cases left. I will be going back for a rice cooker, they have the good stuff, and really good prices too. Lastly, I have major shoulder pain and they recommended a Vietnamese oil and it really helped. I love these guys and a lifetime customer. A+ service and friendly people! read more

Henry was very accommodating to me. I had brought in four watches needing battery replacement and with speed and precision he completed the work and returned my watches in pristine condition and set to the proper time and date. read more

I've been coming here for the past 5 years to get my watch battery fixed. It's a nice little family shop on the corner of the plaza and I'm always in and out within 15-20 minutes depending on how busy they are. I've probably needed to get my watch battery replaced about 3 times, each time it's been $12. I also came here when I first got the watch to get the links taken off to fit my wrist so they offer some other watch services too. The owners here are super nice, the same man works on my watch every time I come in and he has remained consistent in the amount of time I've had to wait. I saw another review crying over $12 but honestly I find it very affordable and reasonable because you are paying for a new watch battery, his service, and his time. read more

I have never gotten a watch repaired here yet,but this store also has lots of inexpensive necessities like clothes,belts,toiletries,hats,blankets and other things. They have the wide-brimmed sun visors here--I believe they are made in Vietnam,as well as Vietnamese sun hats. Selection is pretty good for these things. It is located in San Jose's Paloma Plaza. read more

Changed a watch battery for $12.00 in less than 10 minutes. The watch repairman is so skillful and nice. I really enjoyed watching him working on my watch. Strongly recommend. read more

I called and asked for pricing and was told $10-$15 to replace my watch battery. When I came in the next day I was told and charged $18. I've been here every couple years to replace my watch batteries. They take 15-20 minutes so just walk around the plaza and grab a drink or snack to kill some time (there's plenty to eat and drink nearby). Although the price was higher than what I was told, I'll still come back since they are friendly and still a little cheaper than other places for battery replacements. read more

Very homey mom and pop gift store with all kinds of interesting little trinkets. I came in for a watch repair, which sits in the back left corner of the store. It took less than 5 minutes for the actual work on the watch. My watch is a Swiss Army watch and it only cost $10 for a battery replacement. There is no listed pricing but it does depend on what you need to get done and what kind of watch or battery you have. In general, it's very affordable. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. There's really not much seating space but they will offer you whatever seating they have if you need to wait for a bit before they can get to you. When I came, they gave me a little seat and a cookie while I waited for my watch to be worked on. Would recommend for a quick battery replacement! read more

They replaced my Key battery quickly and at a good price. Will come again when I need replacement!

This place is trying to riped me off for replacing my father in-law pocket watch. The guy want to charge me $12. He told me it will take 15 minutes to go get a drink and come back, I said okay and step outside. I called my father in-law and he told me just to take the pocket watch back. I don't recommend coming here unless you want to over pay to get your battery replace on your watch. read more

Located directly across the street from Skips Tire Center. Great service and knowledgeable. Prices are cheaper than a typical jeweler or watch repair shop. There's plenty of parking in the private lot. read more

A+++ Excellent, fast service for my Rolex watches that needed link repair and latch adjustment. I thought I would need to leave watches but he fixed in 10 minutes! WOW! The cost was only $15, blew my mind because high end watches are costly to repair. I will return again for Watch batteries or repair. Open during Covid following safety & hygiene practices. Thank You Sir :) read more

Fast and easy to replace the battery in my Movado watch for 15 dollars. I almost turn away when I look at the gift shop store front but decided to go in and check it out. This is not a watch store by any means but his repair station was located in the corner of the shop and he had the necessary tools to replace a battery. Will come back again read more

This is a great place to buy all kinds of Vietnamese knick knacks! They can change your watch batteries or car key fob batteries (not all). You can also buy Lunar New Year red envelopes here or small body pillows. Parking is a bit difficult since there's so many restaurants in that shopping center but it's a good go-to place. read more

If you want to get your watch replace come here it is quick fix in and out. Takes under 5 minutes for me. Be aware the husband and wife sometime argue in front of customers(family own). Other than that convenient place if you need to replace your watch batteries read more

Henry was super helpful and kind with two watch battery replacements. I paid $18 for two new batteries and it was so worth the time I would've spent trying to do it myself. He was swift, professional and even wrote inside the watch so we can track how long the battery life is. The store is conveniently in the corner of the shopping center and they also change car key batteries. They have a cute little shop inside. Thank you so much for the great customer service! read more

I had ordered a watch for my boyfriend on-line and needed to get the battery replaced. I came to this location because I read the reviews and for $6.00 who can beat that? I called at 945am on a Sunday and the guy answered. I didn't assume they were open since he answered so I asked what time they opened and he said 10am. Pretty nice he still answered even when still closed. When I arrived half of the store was catered to a Vietnamese audience. Mainly fashion and such. The watch repair was in the back in a corner but still labeled watch center. The guy fixed the repair in under 5 min. very quick! They also replace car key batteries. I paid cash. I would go back! read more

The shop is inside a larger clothing store. It's in the back corner. Took my DKNY watch here to replace the battery. He changed it quickly for $8 and dated it with 3 year warranty. He mentioned he can also change car remote key batteries. Perfect! My Subaru WRX car key battery was slowly dying. He promptly opened, cleaned, and replaced the battery for $12 (with a 5 year warranty). I didn't even know it had a red light on the remote! Goes to show how desperate it was for a change of batteries. He was quick and nice and no frills. Would definitely recommend this place to my friends or whomever else needs to change their batteries for good service and an affordable price. I paid cash. read more

The best service ever. I highly recommend this guy. Cash only so bring cash. There's also plenty of parking

I got an Invicta model 12829 off amazon for $52. When I brought it in, I saw from his signs that he's experienced in fixing many other watches; I didn't see Invicta so it made me a bit nervous...He had a bit of trouble putting the back, back on the watch. And another customer came in for her car key battery to be replaced. He told me to leave my information and come back later, so I trusted him with the watch, walked home and took a 2 hour nap. I was a bit upset that he did not give me a receipt. But he did call me and I did get my watch. It works perfectly. $8 for the battery and $6 for reducing the links of the watch. The only scratch I saw, was on the back of the watch, which happened when he was trying to open it. Its barely noticeable, and no one is going to look at the back of the watch. I highly recommend this family-owned store read more

I've been coming here on occasions over the years and this older gentleman (I still don't know his name ) is very efficient and reliable in fixing and replacing all things related to watch and car key remotes. I've had him changed my watch batteries, shorten my watch bands, replaced my car remote, and didn't have any issues with his work. Since he is the only one there that does what he does, sometimes you have to wait for awhile, but then again if you're in the mood for boba drinks and good Vietnamese foods, you can always go for a quick bite (or long meal ‍) and indulge in some goodies while waiting. Oh and btw his pricing is reasonable too. read more

10/10 and would recommend to EVERYBODY! The owners are very kind and I believe the husband is the one who fixes watches. He's replaced batteries on watches and car keys for me before but he really helped me out when I came in for a clock (not a watch) that he couldn't help me with. He recommended somebody nearby that was able to help. Genuine kind people! Thank you read more

Came in this afternoon to have my watch battery replaced. For just $10 the battery was replaced lickety-split. As others have said, the shop is in a back corner of the store. Easily found. No problems. I'll be back in a coupla years for another battery! read more

I brought two of my old watches here to get the batteries replaced along with replacing 1 watches glass. He finished everything for me in a days. Decent price in a timely manner. read more

Took my mom's watch in to get repaired because her old shop relocated. This place is tucked in the corner of another shop, but the owner is extremely friendly. He has other watches lined up to work on, but since we were the only ones waiting, he decided to fix ours right away. While waiting, he kept making jokes, which made the 5 minutes pass by fast haha. Minus a star because I wasn't sure what the standard price was for the type of watch fix we needed. It wasn't listed on the wall, but it seemed somewhat reasonable depending how long the battery lasts. Definitely worth checking out if you need a repair! read more

Awesome watch battery replacement place. They changed my watch battery and took out a few links on my band so the watch can fit my wrist battery. Total charge for both service was only $15. I went to buy a drink at tapioca express in the same shopping plaza, came back and my watch was done. Total time was about 10 minutes. The old guy said he has been a watch repair man for over 30 years now. Very nice Vietnamese man. Thumbs up to these mom and pop shops. The shop is inside a clothing store. The owner told me they also replace batteries for cars remote as well. read more

This guy right here is officially my "watch guy." I work for a company (IG @maclyfe_store) that collects and sells a variety of vintage luxury merchandise, which includes lots of designer brand names like Gucci, MCM, etc. I was looking for a spot where I can go whenever I need watch adjustments and battery changes and called a few different shops up beforehand. The moment I told them the brand of the watch, the price jumped from starting $15 to a whopping $50 for just a battery change. I like to believe that they jack up the price due to the brand of the watch and well, its owner would probably have an ego and wouldn't dare admit that price is too steep. But hey, I'm a collector (and secretly a bargain hunter), so I could care less, I just want to pay as little as possible lol! But anyway, I thought to myself: "Hey..I should go to an asian guy. They always do a great job and don't usually rob people for their service." Long story short, found this place on Yelp, gave him a shot and paid roughly $12-14 for a battery change and size adjustment. Went to him 3 times already and his work has been flawless! Thanks watch guy. You da man. read more

I was recently gifted a leather strap Bulova watch and as classy and timeless as it is, my tiny, calcium deficit wrist did not agree and every time I wore it, the watch would slide around as if it wanted to be a Dali painting. Two weeks of this, I decided to take it for a size adjustment. Apparently, many places *cough Macy's cough* do not resize leather straps, reasons I am unsure of. So with that, came my visit to Nhat Thanh. It is in a convenient location with many restaurants nearby, so if you have the time *hah* you can catch a meal. Anyhow, the store is cash only and I came in saying I needed an adjustment, I had called in earlier so I feel he recognized me. Once I showed him my leather strap, he said that it was free!!!! Free resizing when other places quoted me $5-8. Which isn't much money, but you can't ever go wrong with free. So about a minute later, I had two new holes in my strap and I no longer have to worry about looking malnourished. I ended up tipping him a solid $10 for the wonderful service and will probably go here if I have any other watch problems. read more

I definitely would recommend this place to anyone. They replaced my Movado and Omega watches battery and charged me only $24 total for both watches. They did it in 10 minutes as well and I did not have to wait at all. Bottom line: awesome place and very fast service. read more

Highly recommend! They are quick, efficient, friendly and honest. The shop owner Henry is such an honest man!!!! I brought my (very dead) car key remote (Honda) to them for battery replacement. It took him 5 minutes and he only charged me $10. I gave him another car key remote (Toyota Prius) and he replaced the battery as well. I went out and tried the remote and it did not work for the Toyota Prius, so Henry spent 30 minutes troubleshooting with me and the car and double check the batter replacement. He eventually ended up refunding the cost for the remote that didn't work (even though it seems likely to be a problem with the remote and not the battery). Great customer service and he didn't charge me NOTHING after spending 30 minutes helping me. I also found out that he is a Vietnam Veteran. Needless to say, I will be bringing my future business to this honest man! read more

CASH ONLY! Located in the Vietnamese restaurant plaza next to Target, inside a gift shop a couple of shops down from Cool Tea Bar. I had the batteries for a Marc Jacobs and GUESS watch done in under 30 minutes for $8 each. The price for battery changes ranges from $5 - $15 depending on the brand, I believe. read more

This review is for the watch battery replacement and adjustment. $6 for the battery replacement, and another $6 for the strap adjustment. The service was super friendly and pleasant, definitely coming back next time. It would be great if they accepted credit. read more
