In this guide, we will explain how to replace an Invicta watch battery. Be sure your watch is not an automatic movement, only Invicta timepieces with a quartz movement utilize batteries. Work very carefully to prevent additional damage to your watch.
If you’d prefer to leave the battery replacement to the experts, many opt to use our Invicta mail-in watch battery replacement service. You can request a free, printable shipping label to mail your watch to our service center.
If you feel comfortable performing the process on your own, follow the steps below to learn how to change an Invicta watch battery.
First, we will need to remove the back of your Invicta. Most Invicta watches generally have a back case with multiple indentations. You’ll want to use an adjustable watch case opener to safely open your watch.
Adjust the size of the watch opener to fit around the back shell of the watch. Line up the nobs with the indentations of the case, and twist the cover off.
Now you’ll be able to view the inner components of the watch. With a magnifying glass, see what type of battery powers your Invicta. An Invicta watch battery size is usually a 371 (SR920SW) or a 362.
We recommend using a quality brand such as Duracell or Renata for replacement batteries for Invicta watches. At our repair center, we stock all Invicta battery sizes – as well as dozens of other sizes.
Inside certain Invicta watch models, there is a clip over the battery that holds the cell in place. The clip may be screwed or pinned over the top. If there is a clip, carefully remove or loosen it.
Once the battery is accessible, insert your tool of choice into the opening. Slowly ease the old battery from the casing. Unpackage your new battery and replace.
Gently press the new battery into position, and reclip if necessary. Make sure not to nick any other mechanisms inside the watch, as this can cause more serious, auxiliary damage.
Before closing the back cover, make sure the watch is functional. If it is not, you may have installed the battery incorrectly, or there may be additional damage to the watch. If you cannot get the watch working properly, you can mail it to our service center for a complete inspection.
Now that your watch is functioning properly, you can close the case with the same adjustable tool. Make sure to tighten it securely, especially if your watch is water resistant. If you’re not sure, you can look up your model on the Invicta website or contact the watch company.
