My battery died and my watch has stopped (wonder what time that happened?? etc etc...)
last time i took a watch to the local repairs shop it ended up more broke.
is there a company that specialises in watch repairs? i dont just want a repair shop and postage isnt a problem.
all help appreciated!

If its a decent wathc the place will probably repair it out of courtesy.
If not buy a battery from ebay.

Depends i gave one of my watch to my nan to get a battery as i was busy she took it to some bloke who replaced batterys for a fiver instead of the 20+ i normal pay, took no notice of it, until i noticed water in the screen turns out he did not represure it and was no longer water proof and did not have the tools to do it, so cost me 25 for it to be repressued and another new battery.

Jessops sounds good as they're a high street chain shop. its an animal watch and the last one i had that got knackered was also animal so its either a shite botched job or a hard watch to mend.
cheers for the help, i might be able to find the warranty booklet for their uk repairs department.
bloody annoying though... i was thinking it was 'coming up to 3 o'clock' for 2 hours!
