Why cheap batteries can wreck your watch

We've seen it happen more times than we'd like: a watch comes in that's stopped working, and when we open it up, there's the culprit — a cheap battery that's leaked and corroded the inside.

The photo above shows exactly what we mean. That yellowish damage inside isn't just cosmetic — it can destroy the delicate circuitry and make a perfectly good watch impossible to repair. It's a false economy, really. Save a few pence on a battery, and you might end up spending a fortune getting the watch fixed... or replacing it altogether.

We stock quality batteries that won't let you down. Pop in and we'll fit the right one for your watch, properly and safely. It's worth the few extra quid for peace of mind.
