Happy to help. Thanks a lot for watching and commenting a really appreciate it. Don't forget I have over 1100 other videos and put on new stuff every week.
@@RobbsHomemadeLifethat is great. I didn't want to have to take it off again to apply the grease! I love your video and my watch works perfectly. May have saved $80 Australian Dollars by not having to send it to the service centre!
Firstly remove strap, then clean watch with q-tips with alcohol, then unscrew screws, remove plastic bezel and clean it, remove metal caseback, put it away and clean it, then remove gasket clean it and lubricate witch silicone oil. Then finaly take care of empy battery and replace it. After repleacing assemble back your timepiece. This video is how to not change battery in a watch, do not follow the path shown in wideo.
@Egmont For me it does not matter if i work on 1$ or 10000$ item in either case i tend to make job done properly. Besides marking something improperly for yourself is fine for me, but showing that for others that can make something wrong is no go scenario. As long you harm yourself it is fine but if your action make other harms themselves it is not.
@Egmont Ok which words from my original comment you consider rude when even author of video thanks me for commenting. Non of my words in my opinion anybody could consider rude.
do NOT use a tiny phillips!!! Use the correct size torx bit (#5 in this case). Hex or phillips will only damage the screw heads and you will hate yourself later when they finally get rounded out completely
Great video. Thank you. This will save me a lot of money from not having to buy a new one!

Very helpful video, thank you. I’ll have a go at mine when my Torx kit arrives shortly.
Thanks Danny.

Thanks Jeff, happy to help.
Very helpful! I found the correct tools and was able to follow your steps easily.
thanks Rebecca!
Thank you, great help to change the battery of my FT2, I bought used for 10€
Hey what a nice comment I appreciate that. I'm glad my old video is still helping people.
Thanks for the tape idea 💡
You’re welcome 😊
This was great. I replaced it myself!
Bob, thanks so much for letting me know it helped- it is why I make my videos.
How important is the silicone grease to seal it? I missed that part!
If you got it back on you're good the grease just helps it snap back on

Lisa I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know the video helped thank you very much
Thank you for this! I've replaced one in another polar one but this was useful to check it was a similar process for the ft1 before I do it.
thanks Emily.
Whats the tool that you are using and the size? Thanks
I used a #5 Torx bit to remove the screws.
Robb's Homemade Life thank you
