Cheapest place for watch battery replacements
There was a time when I assumed everyone owned only one watch. But when the battery needed replacing it took me so long to get around to a replacement that i started buying novelty watches on sale, usually for $50 or less. This works well, because when the batteries go dead,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I switch to a different watch.
When you spend $50 or less on a watch, it hurts a little to pay $8 to $10 for the battery/labor. My editor goes to Kohl's, where the replacement is $5 as long as you purchase the watch from Kohl's. (They sell Armatron,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Casio,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Citizen,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Timex, Pulsar and Seiko.) Even if you didn't buy the watch from Kohl's,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you might still try it if it's one of those brands.
I found an even cheaper spot that replaces batteries--even less than if I went to Target and bought the battery and replaced it myself. (Target's watch battery prices range from about $3.69 to $6.50 at the Lake St. store in Minneapolis.) But at The Watch Shop in St. Louis Park (7724 13th Lane,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], SLP,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 952-542-8685),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I was charged only $10 to have three batteries replaced (price included the batteries and labor). The shop owner replaced them while I waited. Prices may vary depending on the type of watch and battery.
I heard about The Watch Shop several years ago when a friend with an antique Rolex took it to there for a repair,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. My friend commented that the owner seemed a bit gruff but did wonderful work. I love it when I find a small business that charges a fair price for work and doesn't distinguish between the high rollers and the cheapos like me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Some people prefer to replace watch batteries themselves. It's not something I want to do,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but would-be do-it-yourselfers can watch a video on YouTube for battery replacements. Some are generic. Others show how to replace a battery for a specific brand such as Nike,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Fossil, Casio, Swiss Army,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Citizen and Seiko. If you've never tried it before,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], watch the video first.
You can also buy a watch repair kit for less than $15 at Amazon or at Walgreens, which usually includes small tweezers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], screwdrivers and loupes.
The Watch Shop is a home-based business. I assume that's part of the reason why prices are so inexpensive.
