@@wolfeman1966 Thanks. I actually just used my calipers to gently unscrew the back and held the watch in my palm. Then, used a precision flat head screw driver to pry off the retainer holding the battery. There's actually a part on the side that is clipped over plastic. You won't have to bend that top piece up because it being released from the side allows it to raise without tearing it up. :)

I read an article about watches called '10 things you did it wrong with your watch' and one of these 10 things was that you always should replace your battery at an specialized workshop or by waranty because may occur mist if you try to change by yourself.And the article said that if the workshop is pro they would vacume the air from the watch after replacing the battery and than they would seald it. This is the reason why I asked you :) (sorry for my english if I have some mistakes ) :)))

I understand.. 😊 But with simple instructions like this you can see how easy it is to do it.... I believe in doing things myself. Give it ago and impress urself 👍🏽

Hi there! Firstly , I am not a watch expert. I got a new watch as a gift and it had not battery on it, the battery was in the box and I tried putting it on my own. I somehow opened the wTch but, when I put in the battery , there was this small thing near the battery hole, I think it is called a spring. The one that touches the battery terminals. That part broke and I don't know what to do. This part is really small and is there was way to fix it back to the watch? Thank you!

The tool is cheap enough on amazon and will prevent you from accidentally scratching the back cover with the long nose pliers. You don't want to do that with more expensive watches. But even if just a fossil watch, a scratch is still a scratch.

I opened the back cover, removed the crown, but the blue metal board to which the parts showing the watches are attached looks wider than the sidewall of the watch, I couldn't remove it. Does the glass in front of the watch have to come off for this? In short, what is the way to do this?
