Tag Heuer Replacement Battery

Murray

I need to get a replacement battery for a Tag Heuer watch. I understand that they have to be replaced by a Tag and that it costs £33ish (for new battery, pressure testing etc).

Does anybody know of a cheaper way of getting this done without damaging the watch?

I know that I could get it done at the market for a few £'s but my previous watches have been scratched by this.

I used this independant guy for my wifes Tissot watch, Battery Replacement and Pressure Testing was £15 and a full service was £35, went for the full service as it was 9 years old.

We were very pleased with the results, I will be sending him my Tag when it's battery gives up.

Mr Green did not wish to go ahead with the repair , this was his choice and as it was not repaired then he is not in a position to criticize our repair service , Chris Heal FBHI watchmaker

Hi, I was originally paying £30+ for a new battery in my Tag and then asked in my local market and was told that they re-seal too as that is what I was told I was basically paying £30+ for at Watches of Switzerland, Manchester. I now pay around £5. and my watch works just fine and is sealed so is still waterproof too.

Seals should always be replaced once disturbed. How are you going to check the watch is still waterproof after fitting a battery, put it in the sink? Why gamble a £1,000 watch to save a few quid on a battery replacement?

If you're that worried about saving money why did you buy a TAG in the first place? Get a Casio G Shock for £50, it will outlive you!
