battery?

[pete g]

hi forum members, i have a quartz watch but lost the battery. is there any way to determine what battery it needs. there appears to be dozens of watch batteries for some odd reason.

Google...???

I am sure that any jeweler or quick fix will be able to determine what you need,,,,

Good Luck

If the watch is a "brand" name/model, the fitted battery will be listed on the manufacturers web site.

If it is a "no name" see if you can see the movement fitted...brand- model, and we will be able to work out what is needed.

If all else fails, and you have a set of calipers, measure the diameter and approx depth of battery needed, and we may be able to sort out what is needed.

And/Or post a photo of the movement.

firstly, thanks for the replies. it is a Miyota quartz its a non-chrono, just date. the brand is a Technos sport 2000. could it be, that if the battery fits, it will work?

This one?

If so, it uses a Miyota 2105, and therefore requires a SR626SW or 377 series battery.

If not, check the exact watch and ref the movement it uses.
