We use state of the art wet and dry testing equipment to test all makes of watches, to check your watch is still water resistant. See our useful guide as to the type of activities your watch can withstand.
Our machines test the water resistance of the watch by way of either vacuum or pressure as per the manufacturers specification. Should your watch not pass the pressure test we can provide an estimate to reseal it back to the manufacturers specification.
WHY CHOOSE MICHLMAYR FOR YOUR WATCH BATTERY REPLACEMENT?
Our watchmakers are all skilled in changing batteries. They use finger cots and industry approved tweezers to carefully remove the existing battery, this is crucial to ensure no residue or marks are made to the watch. We will then replace the old battery with a brand new, high quality, Renata battery. We stock a wide variety of different sized watch batteries to ensure we can replace your watch battery while you wait.*
HOW LONG CAN YOU EXPECT A WATCH BATTERY TO LAST?
Due to the age of the watch this can vary, a newer watch may only need a battery replacement every two years whilst an older watch may require more frequent replacements. Some watches are designed to advise when their battery is low by skipping several seconds at once. We are happy to offer replacement batteries and pressure testing to a wide variety of brands, specialising in Omega, Longines, Rado, Tissot and Tag Heuer.
Should your watch battery run flat, we do recommend having the defunct battery removed even if you do not wish to have a new battery fitted.
HOW MUCH TO REPLACE A WATCH BATTERY?
Our watch battery replacement service is only £15 and to include a pressure test is £45.
Any additional problems we detect with your watch will be quoted separately and will always require your approval before we proceed.
