Go to the pound shop and buy a pack of differant size batteries and do it yourself.

I've a Seiko Chronograph, the watch was about £380, took it to a pretty reputable high street jeweller who proceeded to virtually destroy it, had to post it off to Seiko who ended up having to swap the movement for £80.

Live n learn.

Not of use to the original poster as it is in Rotherham but may be of use to someone else looking at the thread...

 

I had a new battery put in my Gucci watch yesterday at Lionels in Rotherham and it cost me £3.30.

 

It is a small shop in the courtyard area between Wilkinsons and Tescos. I think he does repairs as well.

Watch Doctor in Medowhall

Prices vary according to type of battery required but they saved me £10 on another shop in Medowhall,near the fishy feet shop, who also damaged the back of my friends watch when they repaired his watch

TJ HUghes on ground floor - £2.50 for a Sekonda one. Year's guarantee given with it as well.

If you decide to do it yourself- don't be tempted to go for the batteries that have all different types on a card, they're Ultra cheap Chinese rubbish and will invariably leak the alkaline solution into your watch and rot the contacts away rendering it useless

 

I've changed thousands of batteries, it's a false economy not to buy decent ones;)

Seconded. Everyone else were quoting 60 quid for a new battery in mine, but Watch Doctor did it for 12 quid which included drop testing the watch to make sure it was still waterproof.
