Repair Prices 2025



Batteries:  $15 including tax

When it comes to replacing the battery in your watch there are three very important questions to ask.

  • Are the batteries fresh?
  • Is there a warranty?
  • Do these people know what they are doing?


We install over 800 brand name watch batteries every month and order new ones every week. Our batteries are very fresh.

We warranty our batteries for 2 years because we know they will last.

We have been changing batteries for over 31 years and even our part time employees have changed more batteries than the average jewelry store manager. We know what we’re doing!

With over 1/2 million watch repairs to our credit, we have the experience and expertise needed to properly repair your watch.
