Watch repair?

May I ask if quartz movements are irreparable when damaged by a leaking battery?

...... I've got several AKA Alba watches (made by Seiko, that I understand), and I used (stupidly) very cheap batteries Frown

They lasted a half year, I didn't think they'd ruin my watches ... but they did .... putting in fresh batteries isn't getting the arms to move.

We're talking 6 watches.

Am I $crewed, or could a watch shop get them going?

I thank you in advance for your time in the kindness of your Reply.

So, Ronda Z60 swiss movement is not good?

What about SHAQ watch with Ronda 8040.N with 13 jewels?

Most likely yes, it's done. Most seiko quartz movements are inexpensive enough that it's more economical to replace than repair. I swap them all the time.

I didn't say they're not good. It's the fact that Invicta has ridiculous inflated MSRP's. Ronda makes decent movements. They're in everything from Fossil to Victorinox. Heck, I've even seen them in some Tag Heuers. Quartz Formula 1's for one.

OK with 20% off, I bought the Joker watch with Ronda z60 for $112 and the SHAQ watch with Ronda 8040.N with 13 jewels for $232. Both Swiss movement. So, they're still not good prices?

Yeah the price isn't terrible. Just don't let the $1000+ MSRP make you think you're getting a $1000 watch for 80% off.

Haha I went a cruise once when I was younger and bought a Guess watch. Today I learned this was a thing!
