Watch Batteries.

How  much does it cost to replace a Seiko watch battery in Pattaya. I've been quoted 250 baht in the country, is that about right.

Doesn't sound out of line especially if it includes installation.

Silly price it's 80 baht in Bkk

Yes the battery was installed too. I'd say it was a high-end battery because the shop was a Seiko franchise.

600 baht in Hua Hin for Casio bling with dual batteries, installed with exterior cleaning.

That's why it cost so much.  At just a regular clock/watch shop it should cost less than 100 for the battery and installation.
