How To Replace A Dead Bulova Precisionist Wrist Watch Battery DiY ( Repair Remove Install Take Out )

[@bumblebee9970]

Make sure to use a sharpie to mark the notches before unscrewing the back plate. When you thread the back plate back on and torque to spec by way of where you made the markings. Use rubbing alcohol to remove the markings.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

It's best to wear disposable latex/neoprene gloves when you are handling the battery as it is never a good idea to touch the battery with your bare hands or fingers. The oils on your skin can be electrically conductive and act to slowly short the cell out if they bridge the insulation between the terminals of the cell. Some people who have more acidic skin oils can even cause corrosion directly on the cell itself (or even the movement if you touch it) as it sits inside the watch.

What is the battery life on these Precisionist watches? I know this will vary based on how much you use the chronograph and so forth, but wondering if the increased precision (260khz) uses more power than a standard Quartz watch. Will I need to replace the battery annually, or can I get 3-4 years of use before replacement is needed?

I'm going on my 3rd year with the battery.

Ok, I get it , the screw is small. Buy a properly sized screwdriver, they sell them in stores. Background music super annoying.

[@jamesdavis9835]

A set of watch makers screwdrivers would be a plus!

[@blossomp2]

Thank you, that video was helpful😊

[@mmhansa2038]

Hi! Great video, just to check, how many jewels does this watch have? Was it anywhere online or when opening the caseback?

[@galaauctioneer]

Schweeew thank you now I’m just gonna bring it in. 😂 then sell it

[@Gs-sv6pw]

Please get the proper watchmakers screwdriver!

Your video but the music. Thank you as well

[@JeffDietzphoto]

ugh... how to get the actual back off is the hard part... Well that was unfortunate

[@cassp3r23]

My dame screw was snapped and one more question does yur watch have a hole inside there that says "push" if so what's it for? Thank you

[@leecornelius3458]

“Push” is to remove the stem & crown, which you are never going to want to do.

My watch guy is no longer open on the weekend so I gave it try I believe successful. Thanks for doing this so I knew what to expect, Did not think of making index marks like the later post mentions but it will be ok. I don't plan on getting it wet. I did do this over a copier box lid for easy tiny screw location. Thanks again

[@614inc]

I'm happy it helped you out. Thank you for supporting my channel!

[@williamsalin3509]

Thanks very much!!

[@hengineer]

my precisionist looks NOTHING like this one, no notches on the back

[@614inc]

There are tons of different models of Precisionist out there so that isn't surprising. If you are having trouble getting your models watch back off due to the lack of notches, there's a squishy ball trick you can use. Just find a sticky squishy ball and press firmly to the back of the watch and twist. Hope that helps. Thanks for supporting the channel.

[@ericpederson8412]

Thanks for the video. With my eyesight and the micro tiny screw, I may just bring my watch to the jeweler.

My watch battery died in 1997 but it’s cool because my cell phone tells time

[@614inc]

Watches act more of an accessory or even a status symbol now rather than a functional time keeper. Back in the day I knew this guy who used to rock Storm watches. They were 🔥🚒

[@stemikger]

True, but you still are going to need to replace the batteries in your anal plug
