Watch Batteries, Crytstal, and Gaskets

Watch Battery Replacement

A dead battery doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong with your watch. Replacing the battery can get many quartz watches running again.

Our battery replacement service includes:

• Battery replacement

• Opening and closing the watch case

• Installing the appropriate battery

• Checking that the watch is running after replacement

• Inspecting the watch for visible issues

If your watch has stopped working, bring it in and we'll determine whether a new battery is all it needs.

​

Signs Your Watch May Need a New Battery

• The watch has stopped

• The second hand is no longer moving

• The watch is losing time

• The watch is running intermittently

• The battery has been in the watch for several years

​

Watch Crystal Replacement

The crystal is the transparent cover that protects the watch dial and hands. Over time, crystals can become scratched, cracked, chipped or damaged.

A damaged crystal can affect both the appearance of your watch and its ability to protect the dial and movement.

​

We Can Help With:

• Scratched crystals

• Cracked crystals

• Chipped crystals

• Broken crystals

• Worn or cloudy crystals

Depending on the watch, the original crystal may be replaced with an appropriate replacement that matches the size and style of the timepiece.

​

Why Replace a Damaged Crystal?

A small crack or chip can become worse with everyday wear and may allow moisture or debris to enter the watch.

If your crystal is damaged, it's best to have it inspected before continuing to wear the watch.

​

Watch Gasket Replacement

Gaskets help create a seal between components of a watch case, helping protect the movement from moisture, dust and other contaminants. Over time, gaskets can become worn, dry or damaged and may no longer provide an effective seal.

​

Gasket Replacement May Be Recommended When:

• The watch gasket has become worn

• The gasket has dried out or deteriorated

• The watch case has been opened for servicing

• The existing gasket is damaged

• The watch requires gasket replacement as part of servicing

When replacing a battery or opening a watch case, we can inspect the existing gasket and let you know if replacement is recommended.
