About Galati Jewelers

Galati Jewelers in San Mateo handles watch battery replacement and jewelry repair, filling a genuine gap on the peninsula—finding a local spot willing to swap a watch battery can be surprisingly hard. They’ve earned praise for quick turnarounds on some jobs, like sterling silver chain soldering, though turnaround times vary; other repairs like necklace loop restoration have taken two weeks. Open Tuesday through Saturday (closed Sundays and Mondays), they keep limited afternoon hours, so calling ahead or checking their website before visiting is wise. Not every service is equally speedy, and patience may be needed for more involved work, but if you need a battery swapped locally and want to avoid mail-in hassle, they’re a practical option worth trying.
