Yup. That's it. I have a watch and I want to see what kind of battery it uses. Is there any simple way I can open up the back plate SAFELY just to see what kind of battery it has? It's obviously precious, so I don't want to break it. I need to replace the cover back on afterwards.
Don't be fresh. I need help. :-(

...well, it does have indentations. Except they're REALLY itty-bitty small. I doubt a screwdriver will help me out. But thanks. :-)

I have a DIY kit, but to the unskilled there is a risk of damaging the back. so beware. If it has a castlated back plate then the likelyhood is that is water resistant and opening it will render that in- effective. To be safe take it to a repairer, not expensive and the risk of damage will be his responsibility.

Use the sharp edge of a pocket knife to pry out the lid. There will be a gasket/seal under the lid and make sure you donot damage it. You will find the button battery, with out difficulty. When you replace the battery, make sure the polarity (+/-) as before.

The battery will cost you 4 bucks at Radio Shack.....then you take the risk of DIY. Or..........for about 8 bucks, you can take it to a professional JEWELER, and they will replace it for you! To save 4 bucks its not worth the risk! Go to the mall!

Use a VERY tiny screw driver and pry it open. Or take it to a store with a jewelry counter and see if they will take it off for you, most won't unless they sell the brand
