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!
Take it to a jewelry store, they have magnifying lenses to see where the parts go but here's a YouTube video showing the proper process for changing the battery,perhaps you will see the offending part you need to locate https://youtu.be/hgeVHrZFUMk
Can't be much help on this one, but if the watch is malfunctioning after you took it for a battery change, then why not take it back and demand that they put it right?
mcdevito75 here, You may have the mechanism off center with the buttons, remove the back, note where buttons touch the mechanism and line every thing up, you could have moved the mechanism away from these buttons while changeing the battery.
You have to open your watch caseback. Undo the battery holding contact, get the battery out and memorise the writings on the battery. Buy exactly the same one and replace it in the backwards way you took it out. Do not forget to rate, please.
there is aspecial tool to replace watch backs if it wont click back on with fingers dont press too hard you might break the glass. walk into a shop that fits batteries and say you got it done and it fell off. maybe a small family jeweller would be best. if this helps please rate
take it to a jewlrey store, like sergios. They know how to fix all watches. I took my fossil blue to 4 watch stores including the fossil store in the mall and none of the stores could fix it. I took it to sergios they changed 2 batterys in like 5 minutes with no charge.
