Watch Repair and Battery Replacement?

[88CRX]

Was just about to swing by Swiss Watch Repair, who I've always used to get a battery replaced but Google says they're permanently closed. Where the heck is everyone getting batteries replaced these days?

I take all our watches to the guy on the main level of 5th ave place, $15/watch for battery replacement. There is another place in the BMO building on the +15 level near the mall that is similar. This is all assuming you work downtown. The Bay does it too but they're more expensive and it takes longer.

I went to The Bay in Chinook since Kong's in Chinatown is now WFH permanently. City Time is good too according to @Asian_defender

I DIY them now. Tools are cheap on Amazon.

I bought this off Amazon to do some of my cheaper watches

If you don't need big water resistance then DIY is fine, just order your battery off Amazon.
For higher end watches bring it to City Time. They have a pressurizer in house to test if you're picky about that stuff

I’ve had Justin at Gem by Carati do my servicing on my watches.

Chinook Bay fixed me up in 5 minutes. He even reminded me LumTec does it for free, which I knew but wanted it done quickly.
