I no longer have the watch in my possession. However, there should be a little nub on the case back that you use to pry it off the watch case. Use a case back removal tool, or a knife, but be careful.
Sorry about that, I will try to show that the next time. There is a little nub on the case back that you can use to pry it off the case. As for the clamp, it was kind of a shoddy thing to do. Make sure that you cover the crystal with a microfiber cloth, or something similar.
That watch is an Indiglo and requires the larger battery. The battery is popping up a little because the adjustment is worn out. You can usually just carefully place the back into place and it will hold the battery in place, but you should look at getting the little part replaced eventually.
Thank you, and thanks for the tip. I tried to change the battery recently on another timex and I did notice that as well. I hope to release that video soon, but I was not successful in changing that battery.
You have to be careful not to press it too hard as the crystal is on the other side. I tried with just my fingers but could not get it closed without the clamp. So, in short I can't think of another way to close the caseback without a clamp, or watch press.
@@ixactan69 Anything that could progressively apply consistent pressure should work. Just make sure the gasket that's around the back piece doesn't get squished or stretched. Your comment was 3mo ago. Did you manage to get it back on?
When you pay your watchmaker $10 or so to change your battery you’re really paying for the convenience of him having the battery and tools on hand. Though I change most of my own batteries myself every once in awhile I’ll splurge if there are battery retention bars and springs to be removed especially on one of my wife’s “good” watches. Another tip would be lining up the case back notch (if there is one) with the crown stem as failing to do so can snap the stem off. Keep up the good work!
I need a video that shows specifically how to remove the back off the watch.

You missed showing key points, like finding the way to remove the cover and showing how the clamps work as you did it...

Removing the cover is the only thing I wanted to see 😊

Thanks for the tip, I will have to take a look at that the next time the battery needs to be replaced.
Your video was very helpful. I wold like to note that Timex puts a little carrot (>) along the edge of the the back pointing to the edge clip.

I need to know how/where the tab is to open the back!!
It is a little nub, could be anywhere around the perimeter. You might need some magnification to see it.
I always have a issue snapping those case backs on.
I am not a fan of the snap on caseback.
Very good of you, Kevin.
Thanks, hopefully will get to 5k soon, and give away another Casio donated by a kind subscriber.
I have the same watch. I can't find the little tab that you mentioned in your video.
It is real small and hard to see. I would suggesting using some magnifying glasses to find it.
Great information, thank you! Can you show a battery replacement for Timex Waterbury GMT 39MM?
Thank you, I am glad that it was helpful. I don't believe that I have a waterbury GMT, I will have to check
This was extremely helpful! Thank you!!
I am glad that it was helpful.
Thank you for sharing Kevin. Have a great week.
Thanks, you too!
If back pannel on any one side little bit loose can damage internal parts by dust or air ?
With these snap on casebacks it's either on or off, not really possible to be on loose.
I don't have a clamp and having difficulties pressing the back casing. Any suggestion?

@@WrongTimeWatch Thank you for reply. Oh no, I cannot be buying a clamp just for one watch... 😥😥

Oh, I am sure you can do just as well with it.

Not helpful, please try again lol
