Change a watch battery Guess
Your watch Guess stopped or is behind schedule? On these quartz watches, often plated and set with crystals, it is almost always the battery that reaches the end of its life. Here's how to recognize it, what you need to know before opening such a neat case, and how to get the battery replaced by post without moving.
When a Guess quartz stops, it's almost always the battery. Send it to us: we identify the suitable battery, replace it, recalibrate the counters if it is a real chronograph and preserve the plating and crystals, then send it back to you within 3 to 7 working days in France (5 to 14 in Europe). Shipping from €9.90.
Why a watch Guess Does it stop?
Watches Guess are quartz watches powered by a button battery (two to three years of battery life on average). A point specific to the brand: a lot of Guess feature counters that are purely decorative and do not correspond to any function, while other models are true multifunctions or chronographs. This distinction changes what needs to be settled after the battery replacement.
The signs of a battery at the end of its life remain classic: shutdown, persistent delay, or second hand that skips several seconds.
Can you change the battery of a Guess yourself?
It is possible on a simple model, but the finishes Guess call for caution:
- The veneer. Lots of Guess are gold or rose gold plated: the case is easily scratched, and a mark on the back is immediately noticeable.
- The crystals. The crimps that make up the brand's style can become dislodged by shock during clumsy opening.
- The counters. On a real chronograph, the counters must be recalibrated after installing the battery; on models with decorative counters, there is nothing to adjust. You still need to know how to distinguish the two.
For a Guess simple, the operation is accessible with care. For a plated, decorated or multifunction model, it is better to entrust it to an equipped professional.

✓ It's the battery
Watch stopped, persistent delay, second hand that jumps: a simple battery replacement is sufficient in most cases.
✗ Maybe it's not just the battery
A missing crystal is another repair; and a watch that does not start up brand new may have a movement problem. We warn you before any intervention.
The advice ofAzuline
Watches Guess draw their character from their plating and their crystals: a scratch on the back or a dislodged crystal quickly devalues them. Avoid opening with a knife. And if a crystal is already missing, report it: this is a separate repair from the battery replacement, that we can watch at the same time.
