How Much Is A Skagen Watch Battery?

How To Change A Skagen Watch Battery

Skagen watches are high quality inside and out, finely constructed watches with tight tolerances. These watches are beautifully designed to be extremely slim and streamlined. Thinner watches means tighter tolerances and a higher margin of error for mistakes. This means it's best to have a professional change the battery for a number of reasons:

• Press or screw off casebacks. Most Skagens have press backs. This allows thinner watches because the back case doesn't need to have room for screws. Removing press casebacks cleanly without scratching or damaging the Skagen requires the proper tools (between $15 and $30) and training. Improperly removing a case back can result in scratching or even breaking small pieces inside the watch - and we would never want that to happen!
• Fine, battery restraint arm. These watches have a small moveable arm that holds the battery in place and completes the circuit. This arm is rather delicate and sometimes requires the loosening of a small screw to move it out of the way. It's critical to do this carefully to prevent stripping the screw or slipping and damaging the watch coil. Additionally, these screws are tiny and can easily disappear if your not careful!
• Top quality battery. Most Skagen's use a size 364 battery, but it's always critical to double check. Here at WatchGnome, we always make sure to use a top quality battery like Energizer, Renata or Sony. It's also critical to change the battery without touching it with your hands. It's best to avoid getting the oils from your hands on it to reduce corrosion risk. This will keep your watch running accurately for many more years.
• Proper case resealing and screw tensioning. Once the battery has been changed, the next step is to replace the battery arm and gently tighten the retaining screw. Replace the face retainer clip and then snap on the caseback. Putting the caseback on correctly requires care. If done wrong, it can bend or break pieces inside the watch.
