How long will a Shinola battery last?

Shinola doesn’t specifically tell us or advertise the life of batteries in their watches, but based on our experience changing hundreds of Shinola watch batteries our customers are getting between 18-30 months of Shinola Battery Life on a high quality battery like an Energizer or Sony.

What is the usual Shinola battery life?

Shinola battery life is about 18 – 30 months.

The range is due to the variations in movement type, battery type, temperatures and overall wearing conditions. Frequently changing temperatures from very hot to very cold can shorten battery life – although this isn’t something you should worry about on a regular basis.
