WANT TO CHANGE YOUR WATCH BATTERY?

Looks easy, doesn't it!

Your watch died and it stopped ticking. Or maybe the time is only correct twice a day after you just reset it again. A battery supplies the simple juice needed for the hands, date, alarm, lights, music to work. Changing the battery is normally a simple procedure but more often than not it can become a complex project.

To start off, most watches have backs that are hard to get off. Some twist, some pop off, and most require special tools that clamp into the grooves on the back of your watch to give it leverage so you can rotate the back off. Then, if you can pop or rotate the back off, you're now looking into the guts of the watch.

Watches are unique little machines. Almost all watch Brands and inside movements are similar, but are laid out completely different from each other. The size of the battery, the position of the battery (Cell), the clamps are all different from watch line to watch line. Plus some watches have very tiny screws holding things down.

Our store offers the very best service available anywhere when it comes to battery replacement. We will treat your fine watch with utmost care; replacing the cell quickly, properly, and professionally. We will clean the bracelet (when requested), check the movement for proper running condition, and subject the watch to a vacuum and pressure to assure water-resistance.

5 great reasons to bring your watch in for a battery replacement.

1. To maintain your watches warranty.  If you’ve read the Manufacturer's Replacement Battery Manual you will find that most warranties require you to send your watch out to an Authorized Dealer or repair center to prevent voiding the warranty. We are your authorized repair center.

2. To protect your watches abilities.  If your watch is supposed to be water resistant or water proof then opening the back of the watch up will always break your seal and gasket, and your watch will no longer be air-tight. If not properly done your watch from then on will leak, get wet and corrode the insides with rust.

3. Some watches need to be Jump-started! Yep, some watches need to get re-started by taking narrow-pointed tweezers and connecting Point A inside your watch with Point B.
