Battery replacement
 
Hello, I need to replace the battery in my watch...just retired two weeks ago, moved here and it stopped (is this a sign?). Also, the battery in our car lock/unlock/trunk thingy stopped....where can I go? Thanks.

For the watch battery, just go to the square on Market Night. There is a vendor there that sells watches. They will replace your watch battery even if you didn't buy the watch from them. They are very reasonably priced. I think it was $3.

And yes, it might be a sign that you are retired and don't need a watch anymore. LOL

They replace batteries and do watch repair. Right next to the theater at LSL across the street from the IZOD Store.

John, is that your car?

Most of the jewelers around here (including Ardens) charge $10 to change a watch battery. I've heard that Gold in Art in the Best Buy shopping area near Verizon and Longhorn will change batteries for free. I understand they do have a donation jar but I can't recall the charity.

I go to Walmart and they change the battery as well as sell you the new one.

Gold in Art will change it for free on 441 near Starbucks to right of Rolling Acres Rd.

Like someone said - the square on Market night.

Had three watch batteries changed and links taken out of a watch band for $12.00 at Marian Market. Sounds pretty fair to me.

I just had a watch battery replaced by Arden Jewelers - that cost me $25! I also asked them to polish my watch, which they didn't do. I don't recommend Arden Jewelers at Lake Sumter - poor customer service and they charge high prices.
