Any watch shop should be able to change, including those watch chain ones

I am afraid of being overcharged. One shop I went to refused to quote a fee. Said need to look at the watch etc. Another shop said minimum $10.

I do not know the normal rate for battery change. These watches are not expensive - normal Quartz. One is ESPIRIT brand and the other is GUESS.

So looking for a place that is confirmed reasonable.

Yes but from local 2k shld be able to get around 2k or abit more. Any advise on the model or other model i can look at for a 2k budget?

Well if u go by currency rate just 2.2k
If u like tag sure, other model from tag no diff imho
Inside a tag it’s running either Eta 2824 or Sellita 200 entry level movement. Spend more you get a 2892. Many watch companies used same thing, brand marketing it’s where it gets u

Other brands different story. Go google

I rather go with a classic https://www.stowa.de/en/Flieger/

Standard price is around there and up to $12 (if they claim to use Japanese battery) hahah

Of course, you can order the batteries from taobao and DIY - the batteries just cost less than $1 or so each hahah
