I let them run down and just wind them and set them when I'm ready to wear it. I'm not one that changes watches daily...I normally go a week or so before I'm ready for a change. If I changed each day, I'd get a winder.

Where can I get a battery changed for less than $50?

I don't bother with the winders. It takes about 15 seconds to set the things.

I paid $60 last time at the independent place in Baybrook cause the jewelry store that sells Tissots recommended him. Another one of my watches is dead now.quote:Any auto mechanic should be able to do it fairly cheaply. Most batteries will run you up towards $100. Not sure what this has to do with this thread.

Thinking of maybe buying my wife a new watch as all of hers are cheap garbage. Was chatting with a coworker today and he mentioned Hudson River watches. I didn't see anything particularly feminine. Anyone have any ideas of places to look for a couple hundred dollars watch for a girl?

Looks like something the large henchman of a bond villain would wear.
In a good way.

ah, i see. i was casually looking for a leather nato style band that was nicely made as another option for the seiko i just got.
Just went by there and they said it was going to be $20 because the back was held on my screws or something but the old guy knocked $5 off cause of my A&M shirt. Thanks for the rec.TP Ag '87 said:
Memorial Watch Repair does it for ~$10.
It depends on the watch. If it's something like a Timex Ironman where you can open the back with a screwdriver, you, then you just need to make sure you get the seal back correctly so it stays water resistant. Most watches require a special tool to remove the back, which 99.999% of people won't have. Also, if its a higher end quartz, you'd want to have it pressure tested as well before hopping back into the pool.beefiedoubleoh said:
OMG - unscrew it and replace battery. Batteries are like $6. No need to take them in if the back is easy enough to remove.
