How often do quartz watch batteries need to be replaced?

Although quartz watches do not need to worry about power failure every day like mechanical watches, because quartz watches rely on battery energy as kinetic energy, the batteries need to be replaced every once in a while, and they are not permanently durable. If the battery is not replaced in time, it may cause battery leakage to corrode the movement. So how often should a quartz watch battery be replaced? As a quartz watch manufacturer, we have more than 10 years of manufacturing experience, let's talk about it together.

Quartz watches with three needles or a second hand basically have a battery life indicator function. When the battery capacity is about to run out and the voltage begins to drop, the second hand will pause for 4 seconds and then jump rapidly for 4 seconds. This phenomenon occurs immediately. It is necessary to replace the battery in time, during which the watch can last for about one week to half a month.

When the battery power drops and the capacity is insufficient, the internal resistance of the battery will also increase, and the voltage will drop, especially when there is a relatively large current output or the external temperature is relatively low, the watch will stop or suddenly slow down or time The stop-and-go phenomenon. At this time, it is not necessarily a problem with the quality of the watch, but a reminder that the battery needs to be replaced. Therefore, when the quartz watch suddenly slows down or stops from time to time, it is likely to be a battery problem.

There is even a situation where some friends pull out the crown to stop the watch in order to save power. It looks like the watch has stopped, but the battery is still discharging. If it is not replaced in time, it will cause excessive discharge of the battery and cause the battery to leak. It will corrode the movement, and the repair cost will far exceed the cost of replacing the battery.

Although the size of the watch is small, the internal structure is very complicated and precise. A little dust or clothing fibers will affect the travel time of the watch. It is best not to do it yourself when replacing the battery. After all, you have to remove the back cover of the watch and touch the internal parts. If you are not careful, it will easily cause damage to other aspects of the watch. It is recommended to go to a professional watch repair shop for repair and replacement. However, because the state of each watch movement is different, there is no guarantee that any movement can achieve a long battery life after replacing the battery. At the same time, it is also recommended to maintain and restore watches with poor movement conditions.

Most quartz watches need to replace the battery every 2-3 years. The specific replacement time needs to be verified according to the above-mentioned methods. We are a quartz watch manufacturer, if you need to customize and wholesale quartz watches, please contact us.
