Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓For this project, we are going to talk about how to replace a battery in a traditional watch. These instructions will only work for a traditional screw-off-back watch. To complete this task, you do not need any prior experience, but you will need to have a basic understanding of tools. By doing this yourself, you will save money and gain basic knowledge about watch repair. Make sure you are in a well-lit area with plenty of space.

Next, you will have to adjust the dimensions of the watch back remover tool you will use to take the watch back off. The dimensions should be set so the tool properly fits the three connection points on the back of the watch. You can do this by screwing or unscrewing the adjustment screws on the tool.
