| - I got lucky...
This place is very close to my house, and it's in the same strip mall as my bank, my ice cream place and one of my grocery stores.
I know that the heat out here drains car batteries quicker than out east, but I've noticed that it drains my watch battery quickly as well.
Whenever my watch stops, I go to this place and they are more than happy to replace the battery within 2 or 3 minutes.
They charge me for the cost of the battery and I'm on my way.
I go through my watch straps pretty fast as well, due to sweat, so I go there and they have a huge selection of watch straps (and they do the replacement right on the spot.
And if I have to wait more than 3 minutes, I peruse all of their jewelry.
They have regular jewelry and vintage stuff.
I dare not bring my wife in there (when her watch strap breaks, I take it in by myself.)
The sales people are polite and they let people look around without smothering them with sales pitches.
The jewelers sit in the back but they are in plain sight, with their headband-magnifying-glasses, and they are quite expedient.
If I were to buy my significant other an anniversary gift or something, I will go there.
