I'm trying to change out the battery on my Michael Kors watch and I can't find a battery size online, and there's like 6 different model numbers on the back so I dk which one is for the battery.
They tried to charge me $45 to change it out at the store, I'm not paying $45 for a fricking battery

45 bucks is a fair price

You need a watch that doesn't have a battery.

I'm trying to replace 3 MK batteries, 2 of them are my gf's and 1 is mine. No way I'm paying $140 for watch batteries.

And Michael Kors makes some sweet watches for men dude

I've been getting mine replaced for $12.00 for the last 15 years but the little store closed . I went to another jewelry store and it was $50.00 . They said , sir you have a very high end watch and it needs to be pressurized and such . It's a Tag professional. I was in the mall in Austin and got it replaced for $20.00 .

If you are in BR, go to Watch Repair on Florida Blvd. Their prices are very reasonable.

Walmart will not replace the battery unless it's a brand of watch they sell.

Go to the Batteries + Bulbs store. They sell and replace all kinds of batteries. It should be a little less than $9.

Don't do it yourself. You will end up scratching up the casing. Call a few more jewelers. I Just took two to Moody's jewelers here in Tulsa for $10 each.

On the Tag, you can get it changed without getting it sealed if you don't swim or dive with it on. Should cost the same as a normal watch.

Batteries + Bulbs by my house said they don't do MK watched anymore. Too expensive

They won't replace the battery on a $200 watch?

That's what I said, my watch wasn't that expensive, plus it's 3-4 years old. They must have a really low cutoff

Mail it to me. I'll change the battery and send it back.

Ask the store what model it takes and then order on Amazon. /thread
