How can I find the right battery for my Swatch?

The battery number can be found on the battery itself.  In the event that you no longer have your battery, you may refer to the back of your watch case.  For more information, please see our battery list.

How do I change my battery?

To change the battery of your Swatch, you can take your watch to any Swatch corporate retail store and a store representative will assist you. The list of stores is available under here

Why does the battery cover have 3 holes instead of the slot?

Our watches are now equipped with a new battery hatch to ensure we are compliant with the Australian Government safety regulations surrounding batteries and battery hatches ("Consumer goods containing button/coin batteries intended to be replaced by consumers have a secure battery compartment that is resistant to being opened by young children").

What do I do if my metal strap/bracelet needs adjusting?

You have three options: You can take your watch back to your local retail jeweler, but you may be charged. You can take the watch to a Swatch Store. Find the list here.
