Seiko watch battery replacement
Seiko watch battery replacement
Mrs Blah asked a stall holder at Accrington market if he could replace her watch battery. But apparently a special tool is required to remove the back panel.
Does anyone know any trader who can do this work in Burnley? I was hoping to avoid the big high street jewellers who tend to fleece the customer for a simple piece of work.

Billy, I've no idea if this place still exists, but if you walk down Yorkshire street away from the Turf, before you hit Plumbe Street, there was a jewellers on your left. They replaced a battery in my watch perfectly, but we're going back a few years so it might not be there now.

Pretty sure it is. They have sorted a few of my watches out. However always seems to be spontaneous opening times now.FactualFrank wrote:Billy, I've no idea if this place still exists, but if you walk down Yorkshire street away from the Turf, before you hit Plumbe Street, there was a jewellers on your left.

It’s called Reimans and is still operating but has restricted opening hours. I think it’s closed Monday and Tuesday and opens Wednesday at 1100.

Re: Seiko watch battery replacement
Not sure if it's still open but a few months since I got a replacement watch battery at a jewellers close to the Bootleggers pubBillyblah wrote:Thanks for the tips guys. Will give these a go.
the jewellers at Accy market couldn't do it due to not having the tool to take the back off my watch
Was cheap as well only about £3
Re: Seiko watch battery replacement
Seems a bit surprising they couldn't do it. What model is it? Vast majority are easy to do yourself unless it needs pressure testing for waterproofness.

Re: Seiko watch battery replacement
I really like Seiko watches and went for a Kinetic last time I bought one, activated by movement so no battery needed.
