Watches can be damaged without proper handling and while the repair you are about to attempt may seem simple, you can easily break or ruin the watch with any small mistake. If you have any doubts about this repair, do not hesitate to take your watch to a professional watchmaker or jeweler.

Thanks you saved my watches life lol!!

I am in need of the battery strap itself. Any suggestions on where this could be purchased? For now there is just an insulating peice preventing contact with the caseback.

My issue is that three different small screwdrivers won’t fit the screw slot, which under magnification looks very shallow.

[@kaypee8806]

Or even any advice on what material is typically used for this so I could make my own.

Hi greetings..if only number and alphabet is written on the battery then how to know what number is the battery? For example if the battery writes SR 920sw..

What if you lose the battery clamp screw? I've scoured google, and can't seem to find a place to source the replacement part. HELP!

Well that cell-strap was the most simplistic one I've ever seen. Fiddly.. but it really didn't warrant a video. There are so many that are partly hinged at one end and spring hooked at the other. Even with cell-phone app magnifier I'm not seeing the mechanism as to how to unclip. After 'lockdown' I'll pay the $5 and get my watch dude to change my battery but it's infuriating that something so small won't relenquish its hold for me.!

I have been rerouted 3 time until i ended up with this video, its a bit unnecessary
