Battery Replacements
WATCH BATTERY REPLACEMENT
A stopped watch doesn't always mean something is seriously wrong. For quartz watches, a depleted battery is one of the most common causes.
At Totan Jewellers, we offer professional watch battery replacement in Kettering, carefully fitting a suitable replacement and checking that your watch is functioning correctly.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY WATCH NEEDS A NEW BATTERY?
Signs can include:
- The watch stopping completely
- Intermittent stopping
- Loss of normal functions
- Changes in the movement of the second hand on some models
If your watch has stopped, we can assess whether the battery is responsible or whether further attention may be required.
CAN MY WATCH BE RESEALED AFTER A BATTERY CHANGE?
Opening a water-resistant watch can affect its seals. Where appropriate, resealing and pressure-testing options may be recommended following a battery replacement.
We'll advise you on the appropriate option for your particular watch.
