Replacing the batteries in hours: we repair ourselves or go to the master?

As a rule, all electronic or electronic mechanical watches work from batteries, and at some point they need to be replaced. The quality of the battery depends on how long it will last. So what's the best way to do it when you need to replace the batteries in the clock? There are two options - go to a specialized salon or do repairs yourself.

Advantages of replacement in the cabin

In large cities, there are service centers for repairing watches of famous brands, so it is easier for metropolitan residents to turn to a workshop. There, the customer will be replaced with all the necessary details, without damaging the hull and retaining all the properties, will sell quality parts and will give a guarantee for work. In such centers, the battery is replaced in hours. The cost of the service consists of the price of the battery itself and the payment for the work of the master. On the average in the cabin with you will take 100-400 rubles.

Self- replacement batteries in hours

If you do not want to overpay for the services of a master in the salon, you can change the batteries yourself. Pay only for a new battery. It is necessary to carefully prepare the workplace, where the replacement will be held, so that there is no dust, and the air was sufficiently moistened. Also, take care of good lighting and stock up on tools and tools: a set of miniature screwdrivers, a knife or caliper. All the watches take off the back cover, some models it unscrews, the others just get out. To do this, you need to find a small groove and a sharp object (knife) to pick up and lift the lid. Those who repair the "Casio" watch, the replacement of the battery will require the presence of screwdrivers, because the cover of this watch is kept on small screws that can not be untwisted with other tools. When the lid is open, you need to carefully remove the battery and replace it with a new one. Then, in the reverse order, install all the removed elements and close or screw the cover.

In the case when the watch had the property of repelling water, self-replacement of batteries in the clock can deprive them of this quality. Therefore, if you want to continue to use them in conditions of high humidity, you should entrust repair to the service center employees.

What should I avoid?

If for some reason you can not change the battery yourself, do not go to the salon shops that provide their services in the subway or other places of congestion. There you will not be given a guarantee for the work done, and may even spoil the brand name. Therefore, if you are interested in quality, preservation of properties and long time of operation, let the batteries be replaced in a clock in a specialized center. And if you need to save money, repair yourself. With most hours this will not cause difficulties, the main thing - do not press hard, fastening the lid, otherwise you can damage the front glass. Do not tear off the pasted pieces of paper, because they are impregnated with a special solution for the correct operation of the mechanism.
