Watch Battery Replacement
It has become harder and harder to find a reliable, inexpensive place to replace a watch battery. Many large jewelers and retail stores with jewelry departments no longer offer watch battery replacement services. In fact, they usually refer their customers to The Jewelry Center! We work on any brand (except smart watches) and any battery, and all of our replacements start at just $3.99 each!

We will receive your shipment, test all general functions, and let you know if there are other repairs necessary.

How Long Does The Battery Replacement Service Take?
If you bring your watches in store, we replace them while you wait! If you mail in your watches, the entire process takes about a week.

We aim to provide the fastest turnaround time you’ll find, both in-store or online!
