![]() ![]() Other Precautions: If your watch is equipped with a screw-down crown or pushers, be sure to screw it/them back down in the case after every operation.

The gaskets and crown which seal the case are subject to wear and deterioration under normal use. To maintain water resistance, yearly maintenance is required. Note: The Movado Watch Company will not be responsible for any damage caused by or related to leakage originating from improper handling or damage to the case, crown, gaskets or crystal. Important: Do no operate the watch crown, push-buttons on a chronograph model, or any other pushers/buttons when the timepiece is wet or under water. Most styles are resistant to 30 meters (3 ATM/3 bar/99 feet) certain models are water resistant to even greater pressures/depths, as marked on the dial or case back.Ĭaution: If the water resistance limit is not marked on your watch, do not subject it to a pressure/depth greater than 30 meters (3 ATM/3 bar/99 feet), or your watch could be damaged and your warranty will be voided. Water ResistanceĪll Movado watches are tested to meet international standards for water resistance. A quartz watch should resume working with its original accuracy when removed from the magnetic field a mechanical timepiece may require demagnetization before it will operate again. The exposure of a timepiece to strong magnetic fields will affect its time-keeping, and may cause it to stop.

Some equivalent sizes have a way to tell you the difference. ![]() You can look below at various numerical sizes of each watch cell, all of our listings should tell you if it's Silver Oxide or Alkaline. How to tell the difference between Silver Oxide and Alkaline when shopping They are cheaper to make (hence the smaller cost), the only problem with alkaline watch cells would be that they could potentially leak and could cause corrosion and damage your watch (or other devices that use these batteries). They have a shorter shelf life compared to silver oxide batteries, but they still last pretty long regardless. These should never be used on a battery charger, ever.Īs for alkaline batteries, they are often used for most kinds of batteries, and watch batteries are no exception. These batteries typically last longer than their alkaline counterparts. So what's the difference between the two (outside of cost)? Well, Silver Oxide batteries often have a higher energy density and have the ability to put out a high current for their size. Replace your watch battery today! What's the difference between a silver oxide battery vs an alkaline watch battery?įor several of our battery sizes, we carry both Silver Oxide and Alkaline chemistry batteries. All of these batteries fit in Citizen, Timex, Casio, Seiko watches, simply just look at the battery finder and you are done. We carry top brands such as Exell Battery, Energizer, Maxell and Vinnic. Watch batteries come in many sizes, if you don't know what size battery is equivalent to yours, then check out our extensive watch battery cross reference guide. Here at Batteries In A Flash, we have a great selection of watch batteries to choose from. ![]()
