Why Your Watch Needs Professional Battery Replacement
When your watch stops working, a dead battery is often the culprit. But replacing a watch battery is not a DIY job. The wrong tools can damage the case, crack the crystal, or compromise the watch’s waterproofing. At Oxnard Jewelry Repair, our certified jewelers have replaced thousands of watch batteries using professional tools and proper technique.
We specialize in battery replacement for all types of watches: luxury brands (Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer), sports watches (Seiko, Citizen), fashion watches (Fossil, Michael Kors), smartwatches (Apple Watch, Garmin), and vintage timepieces.
Watch Battery Replacement — How It Works
Step 1: Inspect Your Watch
You bring your watch to our shop during business hours (Monday–Saturday, 10am–6pm). Our jeweler examines it, tests the battery, and confirms that is the issue. We check the case condition, crystal, and band to ensure the watch is safe to open.
No charge for inspection.
Step 2: Open the Watch Case
Using professional case-opening tools, we carefully open the watch back without damaging the case or waterproofing gasket. Different watch models require different techniques — we know them all.
Step 3: Replace the Battery
We remove the old battery and replace it with a new one matched to your watch model (common sizes: CR2032, SR626, AG10, and others). We verify the new battery works before reassembling.
Step 4: Test and Reseal
We test the watch to confirm it keeps time accurately. We replace the waterproofing gasket and reseal the case, restoring the watch’s water resistance.
Step 5: Ready for Pickup
Your watch is cleaned, tested, and ready to wear. You pay, and you leave with a working watch.

FAQ — Watch Battery Replacement
How do I know if my watch battery is dead?
Signs of a dead battery: the watch stops running, the second hand stops or jerks, the display (if digital) goes blank, or the watch runs only briefly after shaking it. Bring it in for a free test.
Can I replace my watch battery myself?
Not recommended. Without proper tools and training, you risk damaging the case, scratching the crystal, or compromising the waterproofing. Professional replacement is safer and costs $20–$45.
How long does watch battery replacement take?
Most replacements take 15 minutes. You can wait in our shop. If your watch needs additional service (cleaning, repair), we will let you know upfront.
Will replacing the battery damage my watch?
No. Our certified jewelers use professional case-opening tools designed for watches. The process is safe when done correctly. Your watch is fully tested and resealed before you leave.
Do you replace smartwatch batteries?
Yes. Apple Watch battery replacement is a specialized service. Bring it in, and we will assess. Some smartwatches can be serviced same-day; others may need 3–5 days for battery sourcing.
What is your warranty on battery replacement?
We guarantee the battery will function for at least one year from replacement. If the battery fails within one year due to defect, we replace it free.
