Citizen eco drive battery

fearrchair · 2015-11-07 22:19:54

Just been quoted â‚¬75-90 to change or "overall" a 10yr old Citizen eco drive watch.... Should l attempt to do it myself â‚¬20 or is this too much of a risk. Think the watch was Â£150 when l purchased it. Or is it better to have it repaired correctly

After 10 years it should not really need an overhaul. My eco drive is 18 years old and still running on its first battery.
Anyway, changing a battery is not too big a job, but you could end up with a load of scratches on the case if you dont take good care.

Best advice may be to get a few other quotes.
