We used to go to the jewelry stand inside the big Kroger at Northpark and 69 but my wife thinks they're gone. Jewelers Bench is about twice as much as the Kroger place was, if not more. Is there another quick in and out place locally that you all go to?

Batteries Plus in Humble on 1960. They will even install a new one for you. There is one in Valley Ranch too.

Just buy a battery and do it yourself. Save the $10. charge.

Walmart used to replace them but it's been quite a while since I've had them do it.
I usually replace them myself nowadays.

A lot of battery watches you also need a small tool to take the back off.

Jewelers Bench - buy the 5 year one and they have to replace any time it dies in the 5 years. It is worth the upfront $$

I think most people keep watches in a drawer and usually use their phone to tell time.. You can save some bucks by just pulling out the stems on the watches to save the batteries until you wear them.

Ticagro: How much is Jewelers Bench? Seems like I paid $10 last time. That might have been to put on a new band though. I don't remember.

I bought a watch repair kit on Amazon 2 years ago. Works great on all watches. Eventronic watch repair kit. $15.

billcherie2: $23 now. Damn inflation. But thanks. I just ordered one. I had purchased just a simple tool to adjust my watch bands but it was tough to use. I need to take my titanium band apart to clean it.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Jewelers Bench does charge $10, even when I brought my own battery in recently. I couldn't get the back off of the watch for anything, so I brought it in there.
