Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / July 2004OTP - How do I fix it?
Ok, one of my neighbors said she might have a battery to fit my watch, so we checked and sure enough she had an extra one, so she gave it to me. I came home, got the back off, took the old battery out and put the new one in. I checked the watch and it was working again, YAY!!!! Now all I had to do was pop the back on. WRONG! I have tried every which way to get that sucker back on and it just won't go (short of hitting with a hammer, which I kind of figured would do more harm than good :) So, does anyone know what the secret is to getting the back on?? I thought they just clicked back in...but not this one. Help! Carole :) Actually, sometimes hitting it with a hammer is the *only* way to get it back on. Gently hitting it, with something between, like a piece of PVC the same diameter is what we do at work. We sell and replace watch batteries and actually have a little anvil type tool, but sometimes only the hammer and pvc will do the trick. There is no way my thumbs could stand up to putting a watch back in place.

Ok, I'll give it a try. I'll just tap gently :) I don't want to break the watch as it was given to me by one of my classes and I really like it :) Carole > Actually, sometimes hitting it with a hammer is the *only* way to get it > back on.

I spent nearly an hour one day trying to get the back back on and it turned out that the windy thing had a little cutout that needed to be lined up just right. I lined it up and *snap* it was on. Good luck!

Explain the finger issue and they'll do it for nothing. I always take mine to Long's drugs to the watch department and the woman who works ther just pops the back on for me. m I'll see if I can find someone around here who can get it back on for me, but if not, I'll have to do that and hope they are nice and don't charge me :) Carole > Carole, > I'd just take it into a jeweler and have them pop it on for me.

It is water resistant...I've never worn it in the water as I have a plastic type watch for swimming. I guess I'll have to take it to the jewelers. Right now I'm working on getting the rent paid, so the watch will have to wait. Carole |
