How To Change A Bulova Watch Battery

Bulova’s are ultra-high quality, hand constructed watches with closely machined tolerances. Because of the ultra-high precision of these watches, it’s recommended that you do not attempt to change the battery yourself for a number of reasons:

Watertight fitting and caseback precision.

Bulova casebacks come in a few forms, screw down, screw and popback. It’s very important to know which type of watch caseback you have and make sure that all the proper tools are used. Loose fitting or poorly constructed tools can strip screws, and damage watches. Professional grade tools should be used at all times.

Dust warnings from manufacturers.

When working to change a Bulova watch battery, you must make sure you are working it a low dust environment and that you take special care to protect the inside of your watch once the caseback is removed. Change a Bulova watch battery improperly and risk permanently damaging the movement of your watch.

Battery adjustment swing arm.

Bulova watches have a tiny screw holding a delicate battery wing arm in place. The small moveable arm secures the watch battery in place, manages power drain and completes the electrical circuit. Adjusting and moving the arm is extremely critical to the working of the watch. Additional tension or flexing of the arm can cause battery issues or worse watch movement malfunctions.

Using the best battery.

Many people opt for “any” battery when changing a watch battery. This has never made sense to us. When investing the time, money and energy into this delicate process, why skimp the $1 on a cheaper battery? Buy the best that is available and keep your watch running for longer. We prefer to use American-made Energizer batteries in all of our watch battery servicing.
