Why a Proper Battery Replacement Matters
Cheap, rushed, or DIY watch battery replacements can cause serious damage. Here’s what can go wrong and how we prevent it.
The Risks of Cheap or DIY Battery Replacements
Watch batteries may seem straightforward to replace, but the process requires precision and care. High-street kiosks and DIY attempts often overlook critical steps like gasket replacement and water-resistance testing. Using inferior batteries or mishandling delicate components can result in moisture damage, movement failure, or costly repairs. Here’s what can go wrong:
- Inferior Batteries
- No Gasket Replacements
- No Water-Resistance Testing
- Scratched Case Backs

Luxury watches are extremely intricate with delicate components that require expert handling.

This is why choosing a professional service like ours makes all the difference.
Is It Just A Battery, Or Could It Be Something Else?
Just because your watch has stopped, doesn’t mean it’s definitely the battery that has drained. Your quartz watch contains electronic circuitry and wheels, cogs, springs and coils meaning that a stopped watch could be the result of a failure on any of these parts.
Common Signs it May Only Need a New Battery
- Your watch is fairly new - If this is the first battery change your watch is going to have, the movement is probably fine.
- Jumping seconds hand - Some watches have a low-power indicator which suggests the movement is fine but the battery needs changing.
- Slowing down - If timekeeping is a bit slow but seems to be functioning fine otherwise, it may just be the battery has low power.
Signs It Might Be Time for a Full Service
- Inconsistent timekeeping - If your watch is running but the timing is erratic, there could be damage to the circuitry or other internal parts.
- Moisture ingress - If your watch has signs that water has entered this needs to be addressed immediately and will need to be serviced.
- Battery replaced within the last 2-years - batteries should last a minimum of 2-years, if the last one hasn't lasted, it indicated the movement may be drawing too much power and needs a service.
- Hasn't been serviced in the last 4-years - All brands recommend servicing your watch every 3-4 years, just like a car this ensures there aren't any major internal problems.
