Hi, I have lately been going through several lazy watches. I finally bought a really nice second hand watch. The battery didn't work, so I took the older battery (a couple of months old), removed the backs on both watches. I knew one of the watches was just dead, and the battery had to be o.k. Guess my new/old watch is working really well. Sometimes we can save a bit, by using our heads, and trying to fix things ourselves. Try it, especially if one of the watches isn't working anymore, and you know that the batter should be fine. It was just fine, and I'm less broke from another repair. Good Luck!

No slot or screw to remove watch back
Check the top around the crystal. Some of those watches came apart from the top of the watch. Generally a few screws to remove. If no screws then the back pops off. Not easy but it may be the way in.
Again, if it's a decent piece go to a jeweler to do the work. Should be under $10.00. to do it.

thank you, gabe.

Change the battery
You need to remove the back of the watch to get to the battery. If the watch is a water proof watch then the back is screwed on. After removing the back take care not to damage the gasket.
If you cannot remove the back of the watch then take it to a watch repairer, they can replace the battery and it won't be expensive.

I can't remove back of "my wish" watch.
Maybe he can't, doesn't mean it can't come off. Find a more competent jeweler or watchmaker. If it is true the back can't come off then the watch comes out through the top or crystal. Did you pay $20 for the watch or $20 for shipping?

I have a pocket watch i bought in paris but the battery ranout and i cant get the back off to get the battery out. what should i do?
Hi Josh, I do apologize for the inconvenience.Please try the below steps which should be helpful for you to remove the back of the watch and also replace the battery.
  1. Flip over your pocket watch. Remove the back of your watch. The back of watches are either screwed on by four small Phillips head screws (unscrew them) or the watch has a press inserted back (slide a thin knife blade under the edge of the back of the watch and pry it off).
    (OR)    Find the small groove on the back of the watch right above the hinge,place the tip of the screwdriver (the small kind used for the screws in glasses) into the groove and gently pry off the back of the watch.
  2. Remove the circular watch battery out of the back of the watch.
  3. Take the battery to any department store or watch store and purchase a new replacement battery.
  4. Insert the new battery into the back of the watch.
  5. Screw on or push on the back of the watch. Set the watch to the correct time.
The above should be of help for you to have the battery on the pocket watch replaced and have the watch working once again.Best wishes for your effort and thank you for your time and patience.
