I need to replace the OH watch battery (size 321).
Any recommendations where I should buy it from.

    I've seen cards of small batteries (watch, hearing aid etc) in Netto for around a quid (probably a couple of dozen assorted batts per card) - anyone else tried them?
  • Take it to a place to swap it for you, removing the back etc can be a pain in the butt. I know asda and tesco have a selection of specialaity batteries nowI have been looking for a C2032 for my sisters cay key the last week and got one from asda.
  • I've used Battery Force in the past, very cheap with sensible delivery prices that you can see before you register/check out. 89p for a 321 watch battery, plus 99p for delivery.

    With the batteries they also gave me a voucher for 5% off my next purchase, and strangely enough, a small after-dinner chocolate!

    If you're lucky enough to have a local hardware store they'll probably replace it for you pretty cheap. Timpsons also do battery replacements, shouldn't think they are the cheapest but probably better than taking it to a high street jewellers. Sometimes markets have stalls that do watch repairs/shoe repairs/key cutting and they would probably be cheapest.
  • There is a guy on our market that does batteries, maybe there is one near to you. The other option is a jewellers shop butin my opinion they can work out to be quite expensive .I have had the cards of batteries mentioned above, they have lots of choice on them but are are only any good if the one that you want is on it. (Luckily the one, I wanted was so it worked out a bargain for me, there were actually 4 so I will be ok for a while)
