Step 2

              Open the back cover               
  • Place the watch back opening tool into the indentation and use leverage to open the back case. Note! Some are stuck on the pretty hard, but if you feel like you’re using too much force, you probably are!
  • Do not use the back opening tool other places than the indentation, because that will likely create scratches and not work well!
  • Having successfully opened the back cover, pull the crown (marked with red in picture 2) out one click, but not using force!
  • Locate the small pin / lever identified by the red mark in picture 3, and using a watch tool or a thin tweezers apply gentle pressure downwards whilst carefully pulling the crown all the way out.

Step 3

              Remove watch movement and battery               
  • After successfully removing the crown, remove the plastic alignment case and the movement (with the dial attached in this case) from the body.
  • Using a thin tweezers, remove the battery and identify it for a replacement.
  • This movement uses a LR626 or equivalent (in this case an equivalent would be 377).

  • Insert a new battery into movement.
  • Place movement and dial back into body taking care to correctly align everything up.
