Frequently asked questions

How much does a watch battery replacement cost?

Battery replacement starts from HUF 2,900. The price depends on the category of the watch: HUF 2,900 for basic quartz watches, HUF 5,900 for mid-range watches (e.g. G-Shock, Seiko, Tissot) and HUF 9,900 for premium watches (e.g. Longines, TAG Heuer, Rado). The latter two also include a pressure test and a 3-month warranty.

Why is a pressure test needed after a battery replacement?

When a watch is opened, the gasket can shift or may already be worn. The pressure test checks that the watch is still water-resistant after the replacement. For basic quartz watches with 5 or 10 bar water resistance, it is available for an extra HUF 1,000.

Is strap sizing free?

Yes, if you bought the watch from us. For watches bought elsewhere, strap sizing costs HUF 2,500.

What does “price on request” mean?

For polishing, a full service or ordering an original strap, the work depends on the type and condition of the watch. We inspect the watch and give you an exact quote before starting any work.

What should I do if my watch is still under warranty?

For a fault covered by the warranty, we arrange the repair through the brand’s official service centre. Bring in the watch together with your proof of purchase.
