We are delighted to offer Asics watches at 50% off RRP as a special introductory offer. They are currently available only through our online channels Amazon and Ebay.

The latest watch brand that we have been invited to distribute is Asics range of sports watches and heart rate monitors

ASICS is the brand name of ASICS Corporation, a Japanese sports equipment manufacturer and seller widely known for professional athletic shoes, sneakers and athletic wear.

Shoes for marathons, track and field, basketball and volleyball are highly popular and readily identified with the ASICS brand.

The name ASICS is an acronym derived from Anima Sana in Corpore Sano – A, S, I, C, S – which translates as "Sound Mind in a Sound Body." The original Latin phrase by the Roman writer Decimus Junius Juvenalis was Anima Sana in Corpore Sano. Originally, anima ( soul ) is described as mens ( intelligence ), but mens has been changed to anima for ASICS to suggest a more active approach.

ASICS sports watches are designed in the tradition of the technologically advanced, high-quality ASICS shoes that have earned the allegiance of many of the world's top athletes. 

With their inspirational form signifying positive energy under the themes "Challenge" and "Confidence," these watches employ an advanced shape – case offset well to the left – minimizing interference by the right side with free movement of the wrist. The result is easy wearing, easy viewing and easy operation, all achieved at a high level.

These are watches with all of the functions and convenience of use needed by runners, including buttons laid out for easy operation and the widest possible liquid crystal display.

All you need to know about watch batteries

The only battery made by a watch
manufacturer specifically for watches

In response to questions as to why our batteries are more expensive than in other Jersey jewellery shops, the answer is simply that we are not, we are by far the most cost effective.

Prices in Jersey for watch batteries vary from between £1.50 (us for Alkaline batteries) and £50 (Ernest Jones) but it is important that you understand what you are paying for.

The next cheapest is TJ Hutchings who will supply alkaline batteries for £2.00.

We are the sole stockists of Seiko watch batteries and with a fitted charge of just £4.50 or £2.00 for the battery we invite you to compare our prices on any internet site.

We also will supply inferior batteries at prices which are lower than other jewellers in Jersey, the standard silver oxide battery we will fit for £3.00 or if you really want an alkaline battery then these are fitted for just £1.50 but they will damage your watch.

The Seiko Battery

Seiko's Micro-Energy Division has commercialized a highly reliable silver oxide battery in response to quartz watches. Since then the company has expanded its micro-battery business. With rapid progress in LSI technologies, highly advanced micro-batteries are now being strongly demanded for sophisticated electronic instruments and equipment. The company continues its best efforts to develop high performance micro-batteries which meet any users' needs and requirements. 

The unique feature of these batteries is that they are guaranteed not to leak due to the double walled design, similar to that of an ocean going ship so even if one wall fails, there is another to protect the workings of your watch.

Silver Oxide Battery

Silver oxide batteries are noted for their high energy density and ability to put out high current for their size. But they are extremely expensive because of the cost of the silver. To produce them in large sizes is not cost effective, except for some military applications. But for miniature devices where space is severely limited, like watches, hearing aids, calculators and some photographic equipment, they are ideal and will last much longer than their 'cheaper' counterparts. A silver oxide battery should never be placed in a charger.

Alkaline Battery

Alkaline batteries are the most common choice where economy is important. They have a tendency to leak, making them less attractive than silver oxide because they can cause corrosion and damage equipment. Alkaline batteries may come in rechargeable versions.

Additional Services

Once your watch battery has been changed then the watch is no longer water resistant, the watch will need to be tested and if necessary the seals will need to be replaced in order to retain its water resistance. This service is not included in the prices quoted above and you will need to request this service if it is required.

Product History

Well over a hundred years ago – in the early 1890s when life was lived at a more leisurely pace – a certain Mr Pexton, an enterprising English gentleman from Lancashire, developed a number of ingenious ways of cleaning and polishing Victorian silver and silverware.

Blessed with an endless supply of pure, soft Pennine water and an abundance of cleverly woven material from the local cotton mills, this quick-witted fellow was able to perfect one particular item – an impregnated silver polishing cloth – that employed a novel combination of an already successful silver polishing liquid and the high quality cotton material so readily to hand.

Such were the benefits of Mr Pexton’s ingenious product, it brought amazement and delight to the many people who used it. Indeed, such a treat were its ease of use and a wonder its anti-tarnish qualities, it very quickly became the ‘talk of the town’.

It was thus no surprise that, in 1895, a manufacturing company was founded which – to this very day – trades as ‘The Town Talk Polish Company’.

As the Victorian era passed, the company flourished and, with the coming of a more light-hearted and glamorous age, the artist Austin Knight was commissioned to develop a symbol for the growing business.

Drawing on the annals of history and the elegant style of the day, this accomplished fellow developed the animated image we now know as Mr Town Talk, the Polished Gentleman.

Today, many years later and in his own inimitable way, this knowledgeable and practical fellow continues to epitomise our lasting commitment to the utmost in quality and service and all accomplished with polished flair.
