Start-to-finish guide including bracelet removal, and battery type. I recommend using a similar tool kit to the one I used because we want to minimize the likelihood of damaging our watch and bracelet.
Below are some suggestions for the kit and batteries. You are welcome to find other alternatives. Let me know if you found this helpful!

Watching from India. People like you do the general public a lot of favour by making such videos and teaching us skills toward self sufficiency. Thanks a ton. You earned a subscriber
Very kind words thank you for taking the time to write ✍️ that

Been looking for a video on how to to change the battery on a PRX for a good while now. Since I couldn’t find a particular notch on the caseback to pry off. But with your demonstration, I now have piece of mind of not needing to send it to Tissot to replace the battery. Thanks, friend!
Here to help! You can find Amazon caseback knives that work to open the caseback as well, but the one in the toolkits works as well, just with a little more caution so we don't scratch anything.
Glad I was able to save you the hassle of having to send it in. I had a local watch repair in my city but it would be $30-$40 every time I would take a few watches to change their batteries. He also retired so I thought I'd teach myself and it's surprisingly easy and fun to do
The bracelet has a quick release. Just squeeze the two pins with your fore finger and thumb and it should pop right off at the lug.
Totally correct. Unfortunately the quick release pins are pointed inward towards the case back making it cumbersome. I myself keep my nails short and would imagine many others do as well. The tapering of the strap is ultimately what makes the pins a challenge to do with regular finger nails in my personal experience
just use a little pusher tool they are 1 dollar

I don’t have a PRX, but I do want to say your idea to use a level as a press was brilliant. I have an old-ass armitron 20/1801 my dad got me back in the 90s, that i’ve been struggling to get the back re-seated after changing the battery. Had it back on in less than a minute after this. Great video!
@@rabbit859 That's an amazing story to hear I'm glad this served of great use
Thanks. You just saved me a few bucks and more importantly the time it would have taken to go to a watch repair store to get this done.
Hell yeah I love to hear it
I just bought a Tissot. So now, I need to go onto Amazon to order a Battery Replacement Kit. The Automatic version was $300 more. A friend told me to be self-sufficient in replacing my own batteries.
@@dapperlygrungy3189 I like automatics but hate the inconvenience
Once I slap a watch on my wrist I'll wear it for a while.
Too much maintenance taking care of a collection of automatics but that's just my opinion
@@Striker50_ What's the maintenance on automatics. I have a Panerai 328. I bought that new, I think, 2008. Its been 18 years. I just wound it up 3-4 days ago. It still works. I hardly ever wear it, but will wind it occasionally..
I scratched the bracelet when I was taking a photo of the interior of a Tesla reaching into a half way rolled-down window. It was the top edge of the window - not the glass itself, but the frosted part, that scratched the bracelet near the clasp. You think I can get it buffed out or do I need to buy new replacement links? It really bothers me, because I spent a lot on that watch.
@@dapperlygrungy3189 I would refer to the manual or a local repair shop on maintenance schedules.
I'd say there's an 85% chance it will buff out with polish
Thx for the video, mine just needed a battery replacement too.
Nice glad I could help ⌚
You should have placed a thin piece of clear plastic film over the case back before prying it open to serve as a protective barrier between the tool and watch itself. There are marks along the area where you used the pry tool!
Great point 👍
It's on the underbelly of the watch so no biggie for me since it's hidden, but Live and learn
Thank you bro!
@@turkdutchyt5266 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Clear bro, thank you very much.
Thanks for taking the time to comment 🤘
2:22 Tissot : Swiss made... in Hong Kong ?
Perhaps the movement or other components
Movement is swiss
Kind of disappointing for this style of watch at this price point to not have a screw down case back. The only negative on this watch.
Pros and cons honestly. Since it's not a dive watch, I don't expect too much on that aspect.
I would like have seen the straps been easier to re attach however. It's a pain
Thanks for taking the time to comment
Honk Kong on the inside :D Might as well just print Honk Kong on the dial I guess :D
Lol so many companies are deceiving people nowadays. I guess technically it's "assembled" in Switzerland but still petty
@@Striker50_ funny enough, on 35mm version back case is too small. So I guess that black thing covers the "Hong Kong" as I found just the numbers. Didn't take the black thing off though.
why the second isn't exactly on the dots ?
Interesting. I'm looking right now and it seems to be almost perfectly aligned with the seconds. Maybe it's the angle
Hi How long does the Renata 371 battery last?
Expect 2-4 years it's pretty good. I didn't have to replace it, just showed how it's done
Tissot Hong Kong i thought these were supposed to be swiss ?
Yup movement is swiss and probably assembled in Hong Kong.
I searched all marketing and couldn't find where they were made.
Sneaky. Probably something like Apple where it says "designed in California"
why not just take the bracelet off first its quick release
Watch the Tissot bracelet removal video I made. It's a pain bc of a poor design
How long the battery last?
It should last at least 2-5 years.
I made this video just to show how to do it. My watch is still good with the original battery
you lost me at "removing the links......... The PRX literally uses a quick release bracelet that comes off in seconds.
Sounds like you lost yourself
Main point of the video is how to change the battery, which this video illustrates VERY well.
P.S. the bracelet is a pain to put on and off. I would know, I have both the strap and bracelet. Taking 1 pin out is faster in my experience. There's more than 1 way to do things
Movement model?
I don't remember the movement tbh
I found out. It is a eta movement, don't know the model. It's swiss made.
@@md.jarifmostafashahittya6352 Thanks for sharing. Yes it is quite accurate so I like that
You could have simply removed the bracelet frok that quick release pins...instead of opening the bracelet
@@syedmohdfasihnaqvi155 The quick release bracelet is actually quite the pain to put on I don't like it whatsoever
Можно поставить ETA F06.412. ?
??
there is a notch, my Tissot digital has one, at 12 o´clock ....
Unfortunately, for the PRX models like the one shown in this video, there are no notches to open the case back from
well, my PRX Digital has 2 notches, at 6 and 12 o´clock...
I just researched a few digital PRXs. The design appears to be the same as the one I have. I do not believe the cutouts at the 6, and 12, are reserved for caseback opening. That design appears to be for compressing the pins on the quick release. In addition, the band tapers upward which can result in an awkward opening when trying to open the case back. If that is the way you choose to open yours by all means. 👍
Just like a 20 dollar Timex
Pros and cons to them alllll
Hong Kong? 😒
@@darkolazarevski4434 That's what I said
No where in the marketing or on their website could I find that it says it's made in Switzerland. But it also doesn't say anywhere that it's made an Hong Kong. However inside the watch it says Hong Kong so that's my guess
@@Striker50_ save my 300$ Thanks!
