Q: I have a Swatch that is not working. What can I do?
A: First of all check the battery as it might need to be replaced. The normal life expectancy of a battery is two/three years although use of a Chrono/Loomi function will shorten this depending on use. A replacement battery may be obtained via the contact details below and replacement instructions are also outlined within these FAQs If it is not the battery, you can either take it to a Swatch Store or send it directly to us with either a copy of your receipt or a stamped guarantee.
The watch can be sent to us at:

The Swatch Group (Nordic)
SGEC 
P.O. Box 47325 
S-10074 Stockholm

We would recommend sending the watch to us using either Swedish Post "rekommenderat brev" service or "Special Delivery" (insured service). For security reasons we recommend that you do not mark the outside of your parcel with the Swatch brand name.

Please remember to enclose a covering letter stating exactly what you would like done. You should also include your contact details.
