It is a trend that people DIY things nowadays. In this website I have written several posts about watch DIY. It is true that there are more than you can imagine when it comes to watch DIY. And it is fun to DIY watch for watch lovers. Today I will tell how to change watch batter by yourself. Now let’s enjoy the do-it-yourself fun.
Turn over the watch
Turn your watch over and place it on soft pad. The purpose of this is to prevent scratching the crystal of the watch. A towel or dish cloth can serve as good pad here.
Remove the case back
Look closely around the edges of the back in order to find a small notch or opening. And you need a thin piece of metal like small knife. Then Carefully insert the prying tool into the small notch area, and pry the back off of the watch. Be careful to get a good grip in the notch, because if you don't, the tool could slip and scratch the back of the watch.
Remove the battery
The battery is recognizable as a small round metal disk inside the watch. use your fingernail or a pair of tweezers to remove the battery. When you remove the battery, be careful not to move any of the other watch parts. If the battery is held in with a small screw, use a tiny screwdriver to carefully remove the screw before you take the battery out.
Locate your Battery Number
When you have removed the battery, look closely at the top of it for a number. That number is the identifier of the type of battery you will need to buy to replace it. An example would be "CR2032." You can find these batteries, also called "button cells" at many drug stores and super stores such as Walmart. This type of battery is also used in hearing aids, laser pointers, and other small devices.
Replace the Battery
Once you have purchased your new battery, carefully place it into the spot where your old battery came out. If it was screwed in, use a tiny screwdriver to replace any parts you removed.
Check for operation
Turn the watch over and check to see that the second hand is advancing or that the seconds digital display is advancing, depending on the type of watch.
