How do I change the battery of my watch in 2 minutes?

Have you noticed that your watch is no longer working? It is very likely that this is due to a dead battery. Fortunately, changing a watch battery is a relatively simple task to do yourself, without needing professional help. Here are the steps to follow to change your watch battery.

STEP 1: Necessary Tools

First of all, you will need the appropriate tools to change your watch battery. You will need a Swiss knife or a precision screwdriver, as well as a stand to hold your watch during the operation.

STEP 2: Identify the type of battery

Before starting, it is important to know what type of battery is used in your watch. Watch batteries can vary in size and shape depending on the brand and model of your watch. To find the type of battery you need, refer to the user manual or check the manufacturer's website. 

STEP 3:  Open the watch case

Most watches have a case that unscrews using a Swiss knife or a precision screwdriver. Look for the small notches around the case and use your tool to gently open them. 

STEP 4: Remove the old battery

Once the case is open, you can gently remove the old battery using tweezers. Be careful not to touch other components of the watch with the tweezers.

STEP 5: Insert the new battery

Once you have removed the old battery, it is time to insert the new battery. Make sure the new battery is the same type as the old one. Insert the battery into the watch case, paying attention to the positive/negative orientation of the battery. 

STEP 6: Close the watch case

Once the battery is replaced, close the watch case by gently screwing the notches in the opposite direction. Make sure the case is securely fastened and that the watch is working properly.

By following these simple steps, you can change your watch battery safely and confidently. If you have any doubts about the process or if you prefer to have professional assistance, do not hesitate to contact a qualified watchmaker.
