I’m glad I found this, I have 4 Invictas and 2 of them are battery. Since they have steel bands I’ll have to remove their bands too. I also have a watch repair kit with the same exact tools as yours, and I used to resize watch bands when I sold them at Macy’s. Now I won’t have to take my watches to a repair shop for a new battery anymore! I can start doing this for friends and family.
Thank you for showing how to replace the battery. It saved me some time and money. I think the most complicated part would be putting back the metal cover.
Thank you so much for making this video. Is time saving and financing appealing. Hard to find time to go somewhere and get this done. Especially when you have multiple watches that need maintenance. Once again, thank you!
You're welcome! I wanted to make this video because I to spent hours going from store to store being told we can't help you ... the tool kit is cheap and has everything you need in it.
I always apply silicon grease to the O Ring and screwdown crown when I open up my watches. Vastly improves the water tightness of the watch case. A large tube costs around $5 dollars and is a no brainer in protecting the movement from water ingress. It is very inert and doesn't react to metals or electronics as it is a dielectric grease. I use a cocktail stick to apply the grease around the removed o-ring before putting it back in place and apply some all around the crown thread. Some people complain about the water proofing of Invicta but they expect them to perform with no maintenance. If they had a Rolex, Omega or any other timepiece running into thousands of dollars, they would get them regularly serviced. Because an Invicta costs considerably less, people don't service them but still expect the performance of a high end watch. I have 5 Invicta's, automatic and quartz and none have let me down because I maintain them once a year. Great video, cheers from UK.
Good Video. I wish I could afford a Invicta Watch. The nicest watch I have I got for 30 years of Service at Safeway. My everyday watch is a Timex Canadian Flag watch or my Ironman Watch. They serve their purpose and I don’t care if I scratch them. My good watch I wear to dances or funerals. Looks good with a suit.
I have this exact model but my minute hand doesn't go past a certain point. But the battery seems to work because the second works. What could that be??? Thanks
Thank you so much! Do all of the invictas take the same battery size? My husband and I have several that I have to change the batteries for. Thanks in advance for your help.
Great video I found it very helpful. Thank you. I was just wondering are most watches the same battery or are they different for every kind of watch. I have a couple of Invicta watches and I’m wondering if those are all the same type of battery as well
Thankyou .... now at 74... I don't think I have the patience or the finger 'stability' - dexterity - to do it! LOL. . . but I am considering getting the repair kit from Amazon - thanks for the link. :-)
Very informative sir thanks . Question do you know where can I find the information on gasket sizes for the Invicta’s , I can’t seem to find that information..really appreciate your help. I have no idea the size needed to replace the battery case o-ring.. it’s not in the manual the watch comes with..👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I thought these watches needed to be pressurized? A friend change his battery and the front started to fog up. Looking at this video, I have one watch that’s missing the band and a dead battery that needs replacing. Nice video
Great video, I have been officially schooled. do all Invicta watches take the Sony 371 battery? I have a Pro Diver Model 23493 and just bought the EZTool Watch Repair Kit not yet here and was wondering the battery so I could get one on the way while waiting on the tool.
Nice models...reminds me I have to change out the battery on a few of my sea hunters and one sub aqua noma. Are you part of the invictaholics Facebook page?
Amazon has LOTS of watch repair kits, btwn $10-20. You might not need everything in a kit, but it's well worth it for the few tools you do need to change a battery or adjust links. Good luck!
That I am not sure because I don't own any watch with that style back. I'm assuming that if you just get it started on one side completely across on the other side you should be able to just grasp it with both your thumbs and push but I could be wrong on what kind of seal the watch has.
I just tried this and twisted my watch band because back was so tight. Watching him you may damage ur watch. It obvious his backs have been removed in the past
@@gunnwild1 Nah i just check my phone for time and 📅 date.. It took me a year or so to stop looking at my bare wrist when someone asked what time it was.. Heck now no one even asks the time.. The ask Alexa, or Hey Google
This doesn't do a bit of good for my invicta. The case removal part is easy. My battery is held in by a wishbone holder. I ended up taking the screw out. Its hell to get back in. Pretty much at a standstill. Need a magnifying glass to see what im doing...
Please put the watch in a jewellers vice or boule to hold the watch.,if you slip you scratch the case back customer won't be happy.I am a bench jeweller by trade.

Thanks for the video. I had a tool set but I did not know how to properly use it. I was able to change out the battery in a minute. Quick and easy.
That's great to hear! Glad you found it helpful.

I have a shit ton of invicta watches to, plus I need to change batteries. Thanks for the video
After going to 6 different places here in town and nobody could open the damn watch I bought this kit ... It let you do everything you would need to!
Thank you! Very helpful and I just changed my first battery. Now I have about 6 more to bring back to life 😂
Sounds like me the first time I did it!

All of the models that I have do take the same battery but I know there's some that take a slightly different size.
Thank you so much - just changed the battery on my Invicta Pro Diver - SCUBA 6991 with no problems thanks to your tutorial.
Awesome ... The amount of things that I have learned because of a UA-cam video, I figured if I could contribute I would.
Great video I found it very helpful. Thank you. I was just wondering are most watches the same battery or are they different for every kind of watch. I have a couple of Invicta watches and I’m wondering if those are all the same type of battery as well
I am not a watch expert but all of my Invicta watches use the same battery and quite a few other watches that I have.
Nice! Super helpful!
Thank You, helped me alot !!!
Awesome!
Thanks I’ll get mine today and batteries.

Well I have now replaced my battery in 3 different ones without that happening ... I am not sure how they even could pressure them.
Thank you!
Good video but I only do GShocks solars so I don't worry about battery life👍🍻
They are good watches ... mine even sets the time every day!
Very useful indeed
Glad it was helpful!
Do you know what battery goes in an Invicta 24951?
Thank you for the tutorial.
Thank you and you're welcome.
I just had to re-sub your channel. Very strange but not unexpected from UA-cam!
I would have never expected that ...... 😁
Hello, good afternoon, do you happen to know what battery model the Invicta Pro Diver 6977 uses?
Invicta watch battery size is usually a 371 (SR920SW) or a 362.
@@ebomey Thank you very much, greetings, I can now make sure that they put an original one on it so that it is durable.
Do you know what the size of battery for Invicta bolt chronograph 26751 model ? Thank you
Invicta watch battery size is usually a 371 (SR920SW) or a 362.
Is the battery you're using the standard battery for all men invictas? I have a lot of invictas but I want to make sure I get the correct batteries.
I don't know about all .. but it is the right one for this Invicta.
Is this type of battery the most common for Invicta watches ?
Great video! Thank you
So far everyone that I have replaced the battery they have all been the same battery.
What type of battery did he used?
@@vernonhenry299 Sony 371 (SR920SW)
Thanks for the vid, happened to notice the nice black n orange watch off to the side what is that??
It's made by Dakota watch company.
I'd like to find another one.
@@ebomey kool thx for the tip I'll check around, I have some edc thats all orange and black it would be an excellent addition
How can you tell if your watch is a pry off vs a screw off backplate I have three big face invictas that have been dead since my dad died.
The screw off cap has the notches for the wrench.
Great video, I have been officially schooled. do all Invicta watches take the Sony 371 battery? I have a Pro Diver Model 23493 and just bought the EZTool Watch Repair Kit not yet here and was wondering the battery so I could get one on the way while waiting on the tool.
So far that has been the case for everyone that I have opened and replace the battery.
Just got done installing battery and this one as well has the same battery SR920SW/371.
@@D.Frasure
I would be surprised if they were not all the same, but then again I've had plenty of surprises in my life.
Not all invictas are 371 most do but I just did two watches and they were 377’s. However they were women’s watches.
Excellent vid. Looks like you have several watches there. Have you done a vid on your collection yet?
Thanks!
No I have not done a video. Maybe I should after I buy more of them.
@@ebomey Roger that
thanks for the video! now I don't have to go to the jewelry store to get the battery changed!
This all started because they couldn't even open this watch.
You're welcome!
Your hairy knuckles are the best in the business!
I actually hire a hand model.
Thank u that’s perfect u helped me soooo much
Awesome .... You're welcome!

Nice models...reminds me I have to change out the battery on a few of my sea hunters and one sub aqua noma. Are you part of the invictaholics Facebook page?
Nice ... No I am not. I will have to look into that! My wife thinks I am nuts because I will sit and watch the Invicta channel for hours!
Where does one get the tool you used to unscrew? Thank you.
Amazon has LOTS of watch repair kits, btwn $10-20. You might not need everything in a kit, but it's well worth it for the few tools you do need to change a battery or adjust links. Good luck!
Thanks so much! I should have known the big "A" has repair kits! Thanks again! 😊
Were was this video a month ago when I had to do this
Well .... damn it!
On a snap back Invicta watch how do snap it back on?
That I am not sure because I don't own any watch with that style back. I'm assuming that if you just get it started on one side completely across on the other side you should be able to just grasp it with both your thumbs and push but I could be wrong on what kind of seal the watch has.
Nice watches
Invicta is awesome!
Can you show how to replace the battery in a self winding watch next time? =)
No because Chuck has my hammer.
@@ebomey Damn it man
@@gunnwild1 I know, fucker!
I just tried this and twisted my watch band because back was so tight. Watching him you may damage ur watch. It obvious his backs have been removed in the past
This was the first time.
Where can I get a spanner by itself?
Should find them on Amazon.
Thnx i i hv six of them
Thank you!
You just did this to taunt Chuck and I, didn't you? :-)
Maybe .... LOL

A how to and a tool kit review. Me i have a Timex with a broken watch band..lol

This doesn't do a bit of good for my invicta. The case removal part is easy. My battery is held in by a wishbone holder. I ended up taking the screw out. Its hell to get back in. Pretty much at a standstill. Need a magnifying glass to see what im doing...
Honestly surprised it wasnt a 9 volt lmao
Hammer and flathead 🤓👍🏻
Vise and rotary hammer
This seems so hard to do I’m staring at my watch which I’ve needed to change for years and I’m like nah never mind I got my phone clock lol
What battery size?
Mine was the 394 SR936SW Watch Battery 1.55V
So opened mine and was 377 not 371 battery 😐
Please put the watch in a jewellers vice or boule to hold the watch.,if you slip you scratch the case back customer won't be happy.I am a bench jeweller by trade.
The customer is me ... I'm not worried.
Great advice
