Dakota Watch Company

Whenever I «spring forward» or «fall back» is normally the time I find that some of watches have dead batteries. I not a tech savvy nor do I know the type of battery needed for my watches so I usually end up here to get a new one.
Dakota watch factory not only services watches but they sell them as well along with leather bands depending on choice. Their price range vary but I haven’t actually bought a watch from them yet.
I had two watches needing batteries and the one I had on was starting to slow down. I learned from them that they service certain types of «designer» watches. Tag Heuer being one of the more common.
One of the things I hate is that when a battery goes dead on a better made watch then you have to go to some fine jewelry store and have them send it to the company and back. Since the components of the watch are «pressurized» it is not an easy fix. Here they do those sort of batteries for $ 24.95 which is ¼ the cost you’d pay a jewelry store to have it sent to the company. For regular watches they give you a choice of a 1 or 2 year warranty but most batteries die after 2 years anyways. I thought a regular battery for my one watch of $ 14.95 was a little pricey, however, they told me that my two other ones were designer made so I opted to get them done. They also offer $ 5.00 off cleaning service if you own a better watch and have a battery replaced.
Real high end watches such as Cartier or Rolex they don’t handle but who can afford those anyway? They have a battery rewards card where after 5 replacements you get one free.
You can find Dakota Watch factory in any mall. They are normally a kiosk. I can’t tell you about the quality of their watches haven’t never purchased one from them but will do more research on it.
At least I was grateful having saved $ 200.00 on batteries they had installed in 15 minutes.
