Introduction
This guide is designed to help you replace the battery of a screw-less rubber watch. With this guide, we hope that this will help preserve the life of a watch designed to be disposable. You will need to use an X-acto knife, a very sharp knife that should be handled with caution. You will also need a spudger or something flat and non-metal, something like the wooden coffee stick we use here, to take out the battery.
What you need
-

-
Gently pull the top of the watch's back until the cap detaches, in a peeling motion.

Pull out the white cap and green chip once it is free.

-
Carefully puncture the plastic casing next to the battery on top of the green chip with the X-Acto knife and stop.
-
-
-

Flip the chip around to the front.
-
In a chiseling motion, make an incision on the front side above the battery to cut out a plastic casing.
-
Remove the cut plastic casing over the battery.
-
-
-
Gently remove the battery with a spudger or a wooden coffee stick.
-
Once free, remove the dead battery.

Insert the new battery.

Place the cut plastic cap casing over the chip and battery.
-

Place the white cap over the green chip.
