It might be tempting to try and replace a watch battery at home, but opening a watch case without the proper horological tools can lead to costly damage. Here is why our community relies on our expert technicians:

• Protecting Your Case: Specialized case-back openers are required to safely access the battery. Using improper tools like household screwdrivers or knives will easily slip, leaving deep, permanent scratches on the metal case.
• Preserving Water Resistance: When a watch is opened, the delicate rubber gasket that seals out moisture is exposed. We ensure the gasket is properly seated and the case back is correctly re-sealed to protect the internal movement from dust and water damage.
• Preventing Internal Damage: The internal coils and gears of a watch movement are microscopic and incredibly fragile. Our professionals know exactly how to handle the battery and movement without disrupting the delicate mechanics.
• Premium Quality Batteries: We only use high-quality, long-lasting silver oxide and lithium button-cell batteries to ensure maximum lifespan and reliable performance.
