Need to change battery on TImex Expedition. How
The timex has a press fit back with an O ring to seal it. You really need a special tool which is like a large coin with a thin but strong edge that doesn't bend, or you can use a flat screwdriver with a 1mm end but thinner than the usual electrical screwdriver. You can grind down a cheap screwdriver, but I have had them snap on me in the past. If you look at the back with a magnifying glass you will see a bit at about five past the hour (with the "crown" button at a quarter past the hour) where you insert the edge of the lever tool/screwdriver. The arrow should be pointing to the crown button (the "winder button"). Replacing is a matter of pressing the back on. If your fingers haven't enough strength, find someone who has the strength - don't use pliers, hammers, G clamps etc. If you are careful you can place it face down on a thin carpeted floor, having removed any metal bracelet, and "tread" the back on. But no guarantees for this last method....

TIMEX EXPEDITION DIVE WATCH,T49803. THE TOP
Here is a link to the ONLINE USER"S MANUAL for your model:

If it is just the rotating bezel that is loose or turning then it is not a problem.
If the glass crystal lens is loose from the body of the watch then it is certainly no longer waterproof to the specified depth. It would likely still be water resistant against rain and splashes but it would no longer be a viable dive watch.
Replacement of the crystal is possible by a jeweller / timex technician but you will have to weigh the cost of repair versus the purchase price of a whole new watch.
Good luck, and if you found this at all helpful, please click on the 4 Thumbs Up helpfulness rating icon seen above on this page.
Thank you very much.

DATE WONT CHANGE
If you have the crown in the first click position (date set position) the date set wheel is most likely damaged. Otherwise, if it does not change in 24 hours, it is the date wheel itself that is damaged.
This happens in all watches over time, as even quartz watches must technically be serviced every 3-5 years. 90% of manufacturers quote this as the standard service rate for quartz and mechanical watches.
If this watch has sentimental value, and you will want to contact a local Certified Master Horologist or Certified Quartz Technician about replacing the movement. Replacing Timex movements is generally more expensive than purchasing a new watch.
If the watch is still in warranty, you may consider contacting Timex about replacing the watch free of charge at:
