How to change watch batteries

This page is work-in-progress. Please come back later - or help to complete it. This is a prototype page for the Restart Wiki. This first paragraph should be a brief description of the page, which will pop up on hovering over a link to the page.

Summary

Most watch batteries are easy to replace. This guide is for watches with a snap fit back and not a screw-on back. A snap fit back is the commonest type.

Safety

To do this task you need a watch press otherwise you will either be unable to replace the back, or you might break the glass

Do dispose of the old battery properly. Keep batteries out of the way of children as they can be fatal if swallowed.
