0:01 Hi my name is Rachel and I'm the owner of austinstreetwatch.com Street Fashion Site
0:05 and I'm also a freelance fashion journalist and today we are going to talk about how to
0:09 change the battery in your watch. So the first thing you are going to need is a little tool.
0:17 You can use a knife. You can use an eye glass, screwdriver set. You can use specific watch
0:23 battery changing screwdriver sets but really what you are basically needing is a tool with
0:30 a thin edge that you can kind of get in there and pry the back of the watch off with. What
0:33 I'm using is one of the tiniest screwdriver sets from a kit that I have but it is nice
0:42 and flat and it can really get in there. So some watches have the type of battery that
0:47 you need printed on the back. If it doesn't you are going to have to wait and pry it open
0:51 to find what battery you need. So now to get that back off take a good look around the
0:57 watch and see if you can't find the little divot and that is where you can kind of get
1:01 your little tool in there and start to pry it open. Most watches have a little entrance
1:06 spot, it should be a little divot and you can just dig in there and pop that back right
1:14 off. Now if you are using a really high end watch and it is gold, especially a high percentage
1:21 of gold it is going to be an incredibly soft metal so be very careful where you stick your
1:25 tool, try not to scratch the metal at all or leave any marks on it. The next thing you
1:31 are going to want to do is locate the battery inside the watch and pop that right out. Now
1:36 the battery is pretty tiny. This going to be it right there. It is circular. It looks
1:40 sort of like an aspirin tablet if an aspirin were metal. You are going to want to pop that
1:46 out. So you have your battery out now and you are going to want to take the battery
1:51 and just find out what it is just like if you find a double A battery. Just look on
1:56 the battery and this is an Energizer, 317, go out to your store, buy a like battery,
2:07 pop the lid on tight until you hear the little pop sound so you know it is safe and sound
2:12 in there and you know your battery won't fall out, secure it, and that's how you change
2:17 a watch battery.
