Change a watch battery Lotus
Your watch Lotus stopped or is behind schedule? On this Spanish brand of quartz watches, it is almost always the battery that is to blame, and not a breakdown. Here's how to recognize it, what you need to know before opening the case yourself, and how to get the battery replaced by post without moving.
When a Lotus quartz stops, it's almost always the battery. Send it to us: we identify the suitable battery, replace it, recalibrate the chronograph if necessary and check the seal, 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 Lotus Does it stop?
Lotus is a Spanish brand belonging to the same watchmaking group as Festina. Its watches run on quartz, with a button battery whose autonomy ranges from approximately one and a half to three years. The range covers sports models and chronographs, as well as the line Lotus Steel style, dressier. Chronographs, with their counters, consume more and use up the battery a little faster.
The signs of a battery at the end of its life are always the same: shutdown, persistent delay despite a time reset, or second hand that skips several seconds.
Can you change the battery of a Lotus yourself?
This is possible on a simple model, but a few points call for caution:
- Chronographs. After a battery replacement, the counters of a chronograph Lotus must be reset and recalibrated, otherwise the hands remain offset.
- Thewater resistance. Sports models are often waterproof, with a screwed bottom and a gasket that must be put back in place correctly.
- The case and the good battery. The line Lotus Steel style has a neat housing that scratches; and each model uses a precise battery reference.
For a Lotus every day, the operation remains accessible. For a chronograph or a waterproof model, it is better to entrust it to an equipped professional.

✓ It's the battery

If, with a new battery installed, the watch does not start again or remains inaccurate, the movement may be to blame. We will then notify you before any additional intervention.
The advice ofAzuline
Lotus belongs to the same group as Festina : on sports chronographs, resetting the counters after battery replacement follows the same logic. Do not worry if, with a new battery installed, the counters seem to be out of sync: this is normal as long as they have not been recalibrated - do not force the pushers to try to reset them.
