Dear Customer:
Help your watch/jewelry retailer protect our environment by properly recycling
the button cell battery in your watch. Professional jewelers and watch retailers
are best equipped to replace the battery in your watch without damage to
the watch case and movement inside. They have the specialized tools and
experience to do the job right. Inexperienced people can scar the case and
damage the water resistant seal – voiding your warranty. It is important to
recycle your watch battery in an environmentally safe way. Watch batteries
contain very small amounts of mercury, which is required to prevent corrosion
of the battery and damage to your watch. There is no danger to you or your
watch from the mercury because it is in the sealed battery. But you need to
recycle your watch battery properly. Your professional watch/jewelry retailer is
the best person to do this for you. These professionals collect used batteries
and recycle them through licensed waste management companies.
Do our environment and your watch a favor. Ask your watch/jewelry professional
to replace your battery when it expires.
