Watch batteries are meant to last for many years, but at some point you will have to replace the battery in your Timex watch. Standard replacement batteries can be purchased at many electronics and jewelry stores. The type of battery the Timex needs is found in the watch's owner's manual, or by simply looking at the markings on the old battery. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Flip the watch upside down so it is lying face down and the back is pointing upwards.
2. Locate the screws securing the back plate and use a jeweler's screwdriver to remove the screws and pull off the back plate.
3. Locate the battery. The battery is round, shiny and the size of a small coin. If there is a sticker covering the battery, remove it. Be sure to read the sticker first, as it will have important information on the type and installation orientation of the battery.
4. Pull out the battery by prying it out of its slot. If there are screws securing the battery, remove these first.
5. Read the model number and size of the battery to know what kind of replacement to purchase.
6. Insert the new battery into the old slot. Be sure to insert it in the same orientation. If the positive side was up on the old one, insert the positive side up on the new one.
7. Reattach the back plate using the screws.
