The best thing you can do to keep your watch in good shape is to maintain the battery.
If you have a lot of watches, pull the stems out slightly for the watches you aren’t wearing. The watch will stop running and prolong the life of the battery.
If you have a watch that isn’t working, and you suspect the battery may be dead, get it changed promptly. An old, dead battery can leak and corrode the inside of any watch, regardless of how good the watch is.
If you don’t want to replace the battery, you should still have the old one removed to prevent corrosion. Make sure you write the battery number down in a safe place for when you do want to put a new one back into your watch.
Design One Jewelers no longer does watch repairs, but we do replace batteries. (We can recommend several watch repair shops.)
