Oh this helped me a lot. I was given a special pocket watch as a birthday gift and I love using it. Inneviatbly the battery gave out and I had to try to figure out how to replace it on my own. Granted, I don't have the fancy tools but this gave me an idea on how to open my watch better by using the plastic wrap in the beginning. And luckily, I was able to do so without damaging it. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for comments
Thanks so much - we couldn't find the little notch, but just knowing how much effort to flip the back open, worked perfectly and the pocket watch now has a new batter in it!
Glad it helped!
Great vid now I am one step closer to being fancy
Lol same
thank you for making this it helped me a lot. I was worried that to get the battery changed on the watch my girlfriend got me would cost me a fortune because I did not know how to do it and I thought I would have to take it in.
Thank you so much for comments
Thank you for this, i was missing a step or two, and it isnt a terribly fancy watch but it belonged to my father.
@@gaelan2393 If it belonged to your father, then it is Priceless!!👍🏽🙏🏽
why the ominous music lmao
To remind you not to scratch it up.
BRILLIANT VIDEO, FOR REMOVING THE CASE OFF THE POCKET WATCH TO ACCESS THE BATTERY, VERY INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL, THANK YOU SIR.
Thanks
Thanks, this was incredibly helpful!
You're welcome!
So THAT is why my pocket watch won't wind up! Thanks for showing me how to replace the battery!
Most welcome
Thank you for this video my pocket watch ran out of battery and I was trying to figure out where the battery was and how to replace it! This helped a lot
You are welcome!
Thank you for this video! I just bought an older, used, pocket watch but I could not figure out how to open it to replace the battery. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Welcome
Thank you for making this! I bought a pocket watch from a party store but it wasn’t a real watch on the inside it was an image and I was disappointed since it was 17$ but now thanks to your video I got it open and was able to put a real watch in it!
Thank you so much! I just bought my first pocket watch and I thought I had to pay lots of money to have it change it's battery
You're welcome!!
Thank you for the video!
My pleasure!
Have the pocket watch but no battery - what is the best make/number to replace it?
Give me the caliber number or send a movement picture.
Thanks! Trying to fix my Deathly Hallows pocket watch lol
Thank you!!
What kind of cell battery did you use? Having trouble knowing which one to buy
Compatible battery types include 371, SR920SW, and others. Reputable brands such as Renata, Sony, and Maxell offer reliable battery options.
Wow you did that so fast took me like 400 Days to do that
What tools are needed to do this?
I'm surprised at all the enthusiastic reviews yes yes there is technique but there's no explanation about how to find the proper place to use the tool or anything like that and at 1:31 there is a video cut away edit, suspect as well there is lot of time of the tek moving the watch around in his hand? I i believe just to make the video longer, the technique of using protection so the watches and scratch is good
I work at q nursong home and just did this for a resident. I didnt have the special tool to open the back tho. So i used my badge clip. It was exactly the right size. Tho the battery i found was much smaller
You should also push the button when closing the watch as well
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Qué belleza de reloj, y hermosa música de fondo
Gracias. Saludos
Where can I get this watch? Also nice video!
It's the customer's watch
@@SolimBD clearly they have great taste in watches
Thank you so much much
You are most welcome
Are you going to look at it or change the battery?🤣
I see that I already have a battery it's not working and it hasn't been used. What do I do?
You should remake this in silence. Would be a great asmr video
I got a pocket watch when I was a kid. the battery eventually died. I never figure out how to open the back until now.... a few decades later..... Thanks
What's that tool called
Watchcase Push Type Back Opener a.co/d/2OqBZ6F
👍👌
you can tell it is a cheap watch because the stem should be at 12:00 instead of 3:00.
china does not seem to know that 12 o'clock belongs straight up not 90 degrees off to the right.
Cheap watch, perhaps, but nothing to do with the stem location. You do know that sidewinder pocket watches were around long before wrist watches right?
BOLUX same to you ..jeff
I can’t find anything small enough to fit
I don't know if it helps but I was able to open mine with a mini flathead screwdriver. I made sure to use the plastic wrap like shown in the video so I wouldn't damage the side. You can find the compact screwdrivers anywhere from what I've seen and they are pretty cheap.
my one still doesn't work
my cover is sealed too tight its impossible to open it... so sad
Nothing is impossible...... just keep trying it will open
@@chudiksc im scared that i would end up breaking it.. im just gonna keep it away for now until i fond someone
@@laksha6242 you are correct..... take good care
Thank
superfluous footage and creepy music
Bro just turn off the voice it's really disturbing but nice tutorial
Already remove the disturbing sound, thanks for comments
Just get to the point already, Christ. Too much futzing.
That watch is veautiful
Thanks
Who gets a pocket watch battery operated?
