Answers from our certified watchmakers on cost, turnaround, and what to expect.
Over 80 years of certified watchmaking in Rhode Island — one of New England's most credentialed authorized service centers.
From everyday to luxury — our certified watchmakers service them all.
Movado watch battery replacement is our most common Movado service — and one where correct procedure matters most.
Our Movado watch battery replacement service covers every collection — Museum Classic, Museum Sport, Bold, Bold Evolution, Heritage Series, Edge, and vintage Movado references. Every swap uses the correct Renata or Energizer cell for your specific Movado movement, installed with proper case tools to avoid scratching the polished case.
Every Movado battery replacement includes a full gasket inspection and case reseal, restoring your watch's water resistance to factory specification. This step is routinely skipped at kiosks and in DIY attempts — at Saltzman's it's standard on every swap.
Most Movado models are completed while you wait. Stop into either our Cranston or Newport location — no appointment needed.
The Museum dial is one of the most recognizable designs in watchmaking — it deserves expert handling.
After servicing thousands of Movado watches over 80 years, here's what our watchmakers actually think.
Movado watches offer excellent Swiss quartz and automatic movements in distinctive, design-forward cases. The Museum line in particular has remained a benchmark of elegant minimalism since 1947 — and for good reason. The design is timeless, the construction is solid, and a well-maintained Movado will last for decades.
From a serviceability standpoint, Movado quartz movements are reliable and parts are readily available. The key is regular battery replacement every 2–3 years and occasional gasket replacement to maintain water resistance. Movado automatic movements are similarly durable and serviceable with standard techniques.
The Museum dial's simplicity can actually be a maintenance advantage — fewer complications means less to go wrong. Our honest assessment: Movado watches represent excellent value at their price point, particularly the Museum and Heritage collections. We'd confidently recommend them to customers looking for Swiss-made elegance without the entry price of TAG Heuer or Longines.
A family legacy since 1940. The Providence Watch Hospital was founded by Joseph Saltzman in 1940. Richard took the helm in 1976, and in 2004 he reopened alongside his son Evan as Saltzman's Watches — now one of New England's most trusted authorized service centers. Read our full story →
