Re:quartz battery replacement
In Response To: Re:quartz battery replacement - go to a jeweler, its cheap ()

Agreed. Your average store will replace a watch battery for less money than it would cost you to obtain the battery yourself.

: I'd recommend you simply take the watch to a reputable
: jewelry store. A local jewelry store may even have an actual
: watchmaker on site. Call up a few in your area and ask if they
: do. They'll replace the battery for probably $10-$15 (they do it
: at the local "Bands & Batteries" store here for
: approx $8). If you do it yourself you'll probably impair its
: water resistance or perhaps scratch the back of the watch case.
: Not worth the effort to save 10 bucks in my opinion.
