Changing Watch Batteries
Lots of posters ask "what is the battery in my (name of watch)" with a view to changing it yourself. This is a bad idea for many reasons. You don't have the tools or knowledge to remove a rotary screw on back, or the gasket sealant for a waterproof watch. Some fashion watches have 4 traditional screw and need professional grade jeweler screwdrivers. Also, there are about 20 batteries commonly used in watches, in various sizes and internal technology, Lithium Ion, Silver Oxide and Manganese Alkaline. If you buy them, you generally have to buy 10!
Don't sweat the details. Just take the watch to your local jeweler. They have all the batteries at hand and the tools to remove the back. It is done whilst you wait for $8 to $15!

Had battery changed on my Nixon and the second hand doesn’t move ?
The person who changed the battery has probably disturbed the hands and disconnected it. Take it back and make them fix it or have it fixed. Same thing happened to my Swiss-made Tissot. Spent $7 to have the battery changed, cost me $1,000 watch. They don't have the parts for my Tissot any more.
