Time is the most precious thing we possess – and yet we treat it as if it were endless. Seneca
Many people replace their watch battery quickly and cheaply somewhere, but what many don't know is: The water resistance must be retested after every battery change.
Opening the case puts stress on the seal. Even the smallest leaks can allow moisture to penetrate the movement – causing corrosion, which often necessitates an expensive complete repair.
👉 Our tip from Gossau jewelry:
Have the battery replacement done always by a watchmaker with a water resistance test We will perform this service. After replacing the battery, we will test your watch in a pressure washer, renew seals if necessary, and guarantee that it is once again safely protected against water and dust.
💬 This check is especially important for sports or diving watches. It protects you from expensive surprises.
