Question
My wife was going to get a battery for my dress watch, Helbros Y481F -90-4, but she like to take the battery with her, not the watch.  I wore another watch for weeks, and when I wa going to wear the watch, she had 3 batteries.
I don't know which fits in my watch or her watches.
Can't find a web site to help, will it harm the watch if I
put the wrong size in it?  Any ideas?
Thank You for your time.


Answer
Bryan,

No, no harm will come to the watch because all of them have the same voltage.  The worst thing that will happen is that the watch won't run.  No different than putting the wrong size battery in a flashlight.

If the batteries are different sizes, assuming one is the correct battery, the correct one will fit the best in the battery compartment.

Kind regards,

Melvin
