Professional Battery Replacement
Fast, reliable battery service with genuine batteries and water resistance testing
Expert Battery Service
When your quartz watch stops working, a professional battery replacement is often the simplest solution—but it requires the right expertise. At Southgate Jewelers, we understand that proper battery service goes far beyond simply replacing a battery. Every timepiece has unique requirements for battery type, water resistance maintenance, and sealing.
Our certified technicians use only genuine manufacturer batteries and follow strict protocols to ensure your watch continues to function reliably while maintaining its water resistance rating. We service all major watch brands and handle everything from simple three-hand watches to complex chronographs and smartwatches.
"Proper battery service is about maintaining your watch's integrity, not just changing a battery. We ensure every timepiece leaves our workshop in perfect working order."
