What type of battery does the Bulovia s2894338 require?

Take it to a watch specialist who will open the case and be able to measure the battery compartments dimensions to specify the required battery and replace it for you.

most watches take a 2032 buttoncell

The Casio Forester FT500WVB watch has an EL (Electroluminescent) backlight and requires one silver oxide button battery. The SR621W battery (also known as type 363) is recommended by the instruction manual for the watch. Note the suffix "W" means this battery is a high drain type which is suitable for powering a watch mechanism and the EL light as well for 2 to 3 years, depending on use of the light. "SW" suffix batteries are low drain and are intended only to power a watch mechanism, and not a light. Note also the "SR" prefix indicates the battery is silver oxide and not lithium. The SR type batteries do not use mercury and are therefore safer to dispose of when they are discharged. I have found the type SR626W (also known as type 377) battery is also suitable for the FT500WVB watch and it has more stored power and should therefore last longer.

Last, the Casio Forrester FT500WC looks exactly like the FT500WVB, but it is a different watch internally. The FT500WC has an LED light and requires two batteries- the SR920SW low drain silver oxide battery which powers the watch mechanism and the CR1616 lithium battery which powers the LED. The LED is brighter than an EL light and stays on longer than the EL light when activated. But the LED has a bright dot light source that some might find annoying.

You won't know what battery it takes until you pop the back off and see what battery is in there. I've opened two identical watches and on the inside they had different movements that required two completely different size batteries. The trickiest part with Disney watches I've done is if it's musical, getting that to reset. Be careful, a lot of people don't realize how easy it is to mess up those tiny little parts, get dust in there, put the back back on wrong etc...

Requires an A23 type battery. Can be purchsed on Amazon.

Have you had the battery replaced?

Hi,

Please visit above link for your Fossil battery requirement. Kindly contact Customer Service Team for further details.

Thank you.

Did you have any luck with this? I have the same watch and am trying to remove the battery. Once i have i can let you know the type

If you take the watch to any jeweller they will be able to identify the battery type required - also they should be able to replace the seals, which are always worth replacing when a battery goes. Here is the link for contact with Skagen if you need it; http://www.skagen.com/service.asp Hope this helps :)
