Should I go to the local jewelry store next door or should I send it back the manufacturer? I "found" a luminox dive watch and a polar heart rate monitor in my gear bin. Forgot I had both.

I took my Bulova to a local chain jeweler. bought their lifetime battery replacement plan for $12  used it 3 times so its paid itself off already.

See what kind of battery it takes.

You might be able to find it in the watch/calculator battery rack at Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, etc.

NONONONO! don't try to replace a dive watch battery by yourself, if you fuck it up and you do dive, you could be SOL. like I said, lifetime replacement from Kay $12  watch batteries usually $4 not hard to earn back your investment.

Would the local watch store be able to do a replacement for a dive watch properly?

Luminox has authorized repair facilities in many locations. Check with them to find out where you can take it without having to ship it back

ETA - check here for a start

If it was that critical to my survival, I wouldn't trust anybody else but myself to do it right.

Do these dive watch repairers carry insurance for negligent death as a result of a bad repair?

Any competent jeweler will be able to replace a watch battery for next to nothing.  It's not worth shipping back to the mfg.



I don't fuck with chain jewelers, find the local old guy/store, who has been doing it for years.

Cost me $6.50 to have the battery replaced in my watch at the local jewelry store. Piece of pie and easy as cake.
