    Theres a shop round the corner to you in Lurgan that does watch batteries and traveling up to Belfast for the sake of a couple of quid is not worth it unless your up there anyway !
  • Why waste a lot of money!! You can buy a whole pack of watch batteries in pound shops & fit them yourself like I do:jJust be careful not to actually touch the battery with your hands-use tweezers!

    Take it to Timpsons or any other shoe repair/key cutting kiosk style service. They'll do it in minutes, don't charge an arm an a leg and give you a guarantee with it. I'm sure there's one in the Rushmore Centre in Craigavon.

    BTW: I took my own advice. Mine was changed in Timpsons last April and I've had no problems.

    Ah right. I went along with it. I thought maybe he knew you. You ok with it now?

    There were a couple of other places like Newtownabbey etc but I thought I'd make sure I stuck a city centre one in for you.
