Thank you so much! I had a watch that was my moms and I want to wear it! Since she been gone for a long time! Today I got the back open thanks to your video! Hopefully soon I will get the batteries! Blessings to you and your channel!
The Needle nose (with tape across my case cover) worked like a charm. My local Watch/Jeweler has been closed for 2 years. Thank you for making the video
Brilliant! My cheapo watch stopped working after taking it into the ocean. A simple kitchen knife showed all the problem was, was a drop of water between the battery and the contact, and now it's back working again, so simple! Very well explained!
I know nothing about watches but got one gifted to me long ago. This video and some of the comments taught me how to open it with no damage at all to it, thanks! What I used was masking tape and thick scissors
I have an alternative which is by using cleaning rubber gloves. Rubber gloves have excellent grip and I managed to spin the back case of my watch and tough ceiling lamp lid as well.
Thanks for the tip it worked for me lol after trying scissors I didn't have a needle nose pliers was getting frustrated but saw this comment and tried it with the kitchen glove's and it totally worked good looking out.
You can always use masking tape to keep from scratching the back or front of the watch, just leaving the removal part exposed enough to use the pliers on,works good.
Yes but when you fix watches die a living and are changing batteries on 50+ watches a day, it’s just not practical. You’re better off learning to do it without the tape. Thank god I don’t change batteries no more. If you’re a watch maker starting out, try to get the fuck away from changing batteries.
Thank you very much sir. I will try. The guy of the jewlery told me that I have to pay him 25 euros. My watch is very old but I need to keep it with me because it's a present from my dad, and he passed away a few years ago and that's why my watch is very special for me. Regards and God bless you.
Simplest method is to open even the tightest screw-down watch back without any risks is to superglue a large nut to the back of the case. Allow the superglue a full 24 hours to fully cure. Once the superglue is cured, you can apply a spanner to give you the leverage needed to remove even the tightest watch back. Once the back is removed, simply soak it in acetone (nail varnish remover) for 6 hours or so, and the nut will drop off.
Hope do notice me because i have a steel back watch also' it fell down on the wood but surprisingly; there's no scratch and dents etc but the watch stopped working' any tips?
Well i fixed my problem of my watch the battery didn't finish instead the parts had gotten stuck in the gears but now the second hand is 4X more faster now how do i fix that? Like if the normal clock is 12:30 and i wait for 5 mins exactly it becomes 12:35 obviously but in my watch if it's 12:30 i sit for 5 min and again see the time it's 12:56 already lik what????.....
Dude you're a life saver...I accidentally dropped my dad's watch and the back of the watch fell off ....found this video and now I could stay alive and chase my dream 🏃
Might try putting some clear scotch tape on the back to prevent scratches. If you're worried about scratches & a little over the notches to help the plier tips grip it. When I use a dremel/grinder to port small engine cylinders. I put tape in the cylinder to keep the grinding bit from slipping & scratching the cylinder wall.
I got my battery replaced at a third party story an hour away and found out he had tightened the back with the silicone ring sticking out. The store was called "Fix it", kind ironic i need to order a replacement part after they replace a battery.
I need some help closing it. I tried to use a couple of different hard cover books, but my fossil watch is not closing. The hard cover books are getting bent. Please help
I just found a very nice Lucien Piccard model 26784D. Not a scratch on it, in great shape. The back was a bear to get back on after replacing the battery. Swiss made, very low tolerance. Video helped.
Wow! Thank you so much man! You just saved me the time, money and effort of having to go to the watch repair shop. I have the second type of watch used in the video. The pressure watch and this worked perfectly! Thanks again!!!! 👍🥳
Thx for the good video, found my old watch and the battery was dead, did go to a clock maker and he wanted 50 euro for the battery and the change, i was nope doing it home instead :)
Thick ended scissors with masking tape to protect the back worked like a charm for me. Sadly I'd scratched the back earlier when trying without the tape. Don't make the same mistake :) :) :)
If you own VERNIER CALIPERS and use them to open, sorry, if you use them for anything except THEIR INTENDED PURPOSE , well, my tongue is bleeding again
i bought the callipers 6 years ago, its just sitting there, and it works like a charm to open the cap...i say if it is stupid but works then it is not stupid@@rickhewitt852
You can buy a proper wrench for the back, for cheaper than replacing a damaged vernier caliper! Amazon has lots of battery-changing kits and inexpensive casing tools.
Try a bit of baby oil on a toothpick on the lip. Check with a magnifying glass and see if it has some damage on the lip that maybe you can file carefully and not get dust in the watch. After four hours, it probably has some damage.
I haven't been able to find a watch/jeweler to put in a watch battery in years. The jewelers all look terrified! I have taken to buying really cheap watches and throwing them out when the battery goes. Not good for the landfills. Probably a plot so we'll just look at our phones! 😊
I had a small screw driver then pliers in my hand but stopped because of the warnings. Back in 2000 a watch guy gouged the back. I will never forget the disappointment.
@@edcgunner hehe. In the end I could not resist. I went back and used pliers ensuring I used a lot of downward pressure before I gently twisted. I got it off with no damage. Whew! 7 watches and not one compatible battery did I have. P.S. standing in work boots while curled over fiddling with watches for an hour has given me over a day of back pain so far. Ow.
Always a fan, but when you take from one kid to give to your kid just because they asked for it is not cool. I have a large family also with nieces and nephews that I love like they're my kids. Still love the family vlog. Keep them coming

Thank you for this video. Was trying to open my Fitron Quartz watch which was very difficult to open at first. Just opened it after watching ur video.
Thank you. I had the unnotched watch back and used the blunt knife as you suggested. Cost $3.00 for battery instead of $20.00 at the jewellers. 👍

So helpful! Needed to remove 2 watch backs, 1 of each kind. Thank you!

@@burritolover5082 if your doing 50+ a day, and you don't have the right tools for the job......my tongue is bleeding
This was SUPER helpful! You saved me time and money. I greatly appreciate the tips!
Thanks for making this video!! My watch stopped today and I'm excited to find that it can start again! I found that a butter knife works well too.
I have managed to fix my watch!! Again thank you for this video so much!!!

But what if I’m impatient? 😂😂
Ain’t nobody got time for that 😂
My back case is a see-through, it'll damage it forever 😭
Time is the drawback 😂

Clear instructions. Demonstrated and spoken slowly enough to be able to be able to follow and see exactly how you did it. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Thanks, do you also know about pricing watches? A friend has a swiss made girl's watch for her daughter.
So helpful ❤
Thank you for saving me!
Dude you're a life saver...I accidentally dropped my dad's watch and the back of the watch fell off ....found this video and now I could stay alive and chase my dream 🏃
i saved myself some $10 for the cost of battery replacement when others do it
I THANK YOU VERY DEARLY

Hard surface. OMFG it opened right up. A thousand thanks!
Thank you for sharing the video,
I just learning from this video and open the watch cover to replace the battery.
Thank you! Worked! 😃
it worked! Thanks for the tip. 😁
Thanks, knife worked for my watch👏🏾👏🏾
I need some help closing it. I tried to use a couple of different hard cover books, but my fossil watch is not closing. The hard cover books are getting bent. Please help
sometimes I use piece of soft wood but I recommend taking it to professional watchmaker
Fantastic thank you, I managed to do my daughters watch with ease
Thanks a lot for the tips I was able to replace my battery 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Woder resistant! Love the accent 😃 thanks a lot buddy
Thanks! 😃
I just found a very nice Lucien Piccard model 26784D. Not a scratch on it, in great shape.
The back was a bear to get back on after replacing the battery. Swiss made, very low tolerance. Video helped.
Where did you find it ? I lost the same watch a year ago
@@hafiz20115057 Where did you lose it? 😁
Oh, that was my watch! Send it back to my care of RUclips.
Thank you. I really appreciate the tips! Love the plier approach!
Wow! Thank you so much man! You just saved me the time, money and effort of having to go to the watch repair shop.
I have the second type of watch used in the video. The pressure watch and this worked perfectly!
Thanks again!!!! 👍🥳
Glad I could help
Just fixed two watches for a sweet young lady. Thanks for facilitating!
Thank you for the video but was not easy to pop off and put back on the back, in fact pushing it back on took ages, I had to use a clamp.
How do U get the battery out if it has a plastic clip?
you remove the clip
Thx for the good video, found my old watch and the battery was dead, did go to a clock maker and he wanted 50 euro for the battery and the change, i was nope doing it home instead :)
Dude thank you so much. I saved myself a money from going to a repair shop!

worked for me
Thank you, I was hard to close it now is better
pair of tweezers works great too!
shattered the glass on my watch...thanks
Thank you so much! I can change my own watch's battery by myself at home :D
Would have helped if you showed us how to remove the battery
This video is very good and helpful for me 😀😀
Glad to hear that
I have a new Casio A100 the back is rectangular with no screws on notches how do I take it off?
Look at it carefully with a bright light and a magnifying glass. You will find a notch on it somewhere.
Can I use Audition instead?
Past the accents (W, S,&)......ok? Thanks for the help!
So helpful ! Tq so much bro.
I remember one day wasted a watch just because I couldn’t close the case back ! Thank you now I won’t do that no more
I had the second one. Thanks as all worked very well.
IF YOU HAVE A VERNIER CALIPERS, USE THAT TO UNSCREW THE WATCH works like it was made for the job
If you own VERNIER CALIPERS and use them to open, sorry, if you use them for anything except THEIR INTENDED PURPOSE , well, my tongue is bleeding again
i bought the callipers 6 years ago, its just sitting there, and it works like a charm to open the cap...i say if it is stupid but works then it is not stupid@@rickhewitt852

im never gonna be able to get off the hook am i?
Thanks for the video this is what I thought that it needed just wanted to make sure of it
7:09 how do u do it easily
YOU ARE THE BEST FRIEND
it didn’t work for my pressure cap, it just didn’t work what do I do
thank youu for this solved my problem 🥰
Thank you very much, now my watch is'nt only dead, now it's scratched like hell too.
"without pro tools" *uses tools nobody else has*
Nice knowledgeable elaborate video content. Thank You 🙏
Thank you so much! 💜💜💜💜💜
You are so welcome!
I’m about to use the hammer to break the fucking thing! 4 hours to try to close the lid cover and it won’t close
Use piece of wood place it on something that wont break the glass.. than apply pressure with the wood or much better idea take it to someone who knows
Try a bit of baby oil on a toothpick on the lip. Check with a magnifying glass and see if it has some damage on the lip that maybe you can file carefully and not get dust in the watch. After four hours, it probably has some damage.
Thanks this video helped me
You rock my friend 👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼❤️
excellent explanations, nice and slow
My wife almost killed me. Her Patek was a worthy watch she said. Who would have know?
Opened with needle nose before I saw this 😎
Thanks for confirmation at least
What a helpful nice video. Thank you.
Great video. I did it with the thanks to your video.
Glad it helped
this was an awesome video bro ty sm
Glad it helped
Thank you!!! You're a watch saver!!!
You're welcome!!
Thank you! Super helpful!
You're welcome!
i have the right tools but this does not work for me... it feels like mine are glued shot. it wont move a micro millimeter
I have the back of the second watch and it's sooooooo hard to close it. Until now, haven't closed it, can't use the watch because of it xD
Thank you so much 😻
Oh yea u know when others do it it works great but when I try the fucking glass breaks great job everyone keep up the great fucking work
I haven't been able to find a watch/jeweler to put in a watch battery in years. The jewelers all look terrified! I have taken to buying really cheap watches and throwing them out when the battery goes. Not good for the landfills. Probably a plot so we'll just look at our phones! 😊
That was really helpful, thank you
Glad to hear it!
What is the name of the machine to open the watch please ?
Very informative, thank you.
Thank you for sharing. This helped me open the back of my watch to check on the battery model.
Glad it helped
Useful kwa kweli
I had a small screw driver then pliers in my hand but stopped because of the warnings. Back in 2000 a watch guy gouged the back. I will never forget the disappointment.
congrats I think you are the first one that heard the warnings

I have seen people open them with a rubber round ball.
That is great method if you have one
