What to expect
What to expect from a watch battery replacement
- What happens
- The case back is opened, the old cell is swapped for the matching battery type, and the watch is checked to make sure it runs before the back is closed.
- Usually the same day
- A standard quartz battery swap is a short job, and same-day or while-you-wait service is common, though it depends on the shop and the watch.
- Water resistance after opening
- Opening the case disturbs the gasket. Ask whether the seal is checked or replaced, and whether a pressure test is offered if you swim with the watch.
- When to go to a watchmaker
- Screw-down case backs, dive watches and luxury quartz pieces are best handled by a watchmaker rather than a kiosk, which may lack the right tools or seals.
- Signs the battery is dying
- On many quartz watches the second hand starts jumping in 4-second steps when the battery is nearly flat; replace it soon, because a leaking cell can damage the movement.
