Changing the battery of an Ice-Watch
Changing the battery of an Ice-Watch
Has your Ice-Watch stopped or is running late? On these colored quartz watches, it is almost always the battery that is at the end of its life, not a breakdown. Here's how to recognize it, what you need to know before opening a silicone case like an Ice-Watch, and how to get the battery replaced by post without moving.
When an Ice-Watch stops, it's almost always the battery. Send it to us: we identify the correct battery, replace it, check the seal and handle the flexible case with care, then return it to you within 3 to 7 working days in France (5 to 14 in Europe). Shipping from €9.90.
Why does an Ice-Watch stop?
Ice-Watches are quartz watches powered by a button battery, whose lifespan is around two to three years. The brand focuses on simple models with three hands and varied colors, with a few chronographs. Nothing very energy intensive, therefore: when the watch stops, it is most often the battery.
The usual signs: complete stop, persistent delay despite a time reset, or second hand that jumps several seconds.
Can you change the battery of an Ice-Watch yourself?
This is possible on a simple model, but the Ice-Watch case requires delicacy:
- A flexible case with a clipped bottom. Ice-Watches often have a silicone or plastic case and a back that opens when pressed. Without a suitable tool, the material is easily marked or deformed, and it is sometimes necessary to remove the bracelet integrated for access to the back.
- Thewater resistance. Several models are waterproof and equipped with a seal: if incorrectly placed, it allows humidity to pass through.
- The right battery. Each model uses a precise silver oxide battery reference.
For a simple Ice-Watch, the operation remains accessible with caution. For a waterproof model, it is better to entrust it to an equipped professional.

The advice ofAzuline
On an Ice-Watch, the bracelet silicone is often attached to the case: do not force the bottom with a knife, you risk marking the material or distorting the seal. And if mist appears under the glass, this is a sign that thewater resistance must be reviewed at the same time as the battery.
