    Chaps,

    Where's the best place to purchase watch batteries online, in the U.K.? I'm leary of buying from Amazon marketplace or eBay, due to fake / cheap items being passed of as the real deal. I've been stung on things like camera and gopro betteries in the past.

    Also, both the batteries are Renata branded... doing a bit of research, these seem to be good quality. Any other brands I should consider?

    Ta,

    Jason.

    Cousinsuk.com is the place to try. Personally, I go for the Seizaiken batteries - Renata aren't the quality they once were.

    Renata have a reputation for leaking. Many people have their own preferences, but I use Maxell and have never had an issue.

    Make sure you buy from a seller that has high turnover of stock.

    Every quartz watch in the house is now running again (Wife's 3 Gucci fashion watches, her Tag 1500, my Tag 2000 and the old Casio analog/digital I used to wear in college) :eek::cool:

    Thanks again for the recommendations guys.
