Has your wristwatch suddenly stopped or is it running erratically? In many cases, a dead battery is the cause. A professional battery replacement will ensure your watch works reliably again.
How to tell if your watch battery is dead?
The following signs may indicate that the battery needs to be replaced:
- The watch stops.
- The second hand jumps at larger intervals (end-of-life indicator).
- The watch runs inaccurately or stops intermittently.
- The display of a digital watch becomes dim or disappears.
Why should you have the battery replaced by a specialist?
Opening a watch should be done carefully and professionally. In particular, the casing, gaskets, and clasp must be handled correctly.
At Gossauer Bijouterie, you receive:
- Professional battery replacement directly in our shop
- High-quality batteries
- Careful opening and closing of the case
- Inspection of the gaskets
- Water resistance testing by our watchmaker upon request
Water resistance testing is particularly recommended for water-resistant watches. Whether testing is possible depends on the specific watch model.
Battery replacement for many watch brands
We replace batteries for numerous watch brands – from classic quartz watches to high-quality Swiss timepieces.
We also perform battery replacements for designer and luxury watches with great care. Depending on the brand and model, a special procedure may be required.
How often should the battery be changed?
Depending on the watch and battery type, a battery typically lasts between 2 and 5 years.
It is advisable to replace a dead battery as soon as possible. If a dead battery remains in the watch for too long, there is a risk that it will leak and damage the movement.
