Thanks mate! I have the CH2573 chrome chronograph watch with black neoprene rubber wristband (looks exactly like the one in video). I looked all over the dang internet for the battery # to replace mine and could not find it but saw this video.
@@wolfeman1966 Thanks. I actually just used my calipers to gently unscrew the back and held the watch in my palm. Then, used a precision flat head screw driver to pry off the retainer holding the battery. There's actually a part on the side that is clipped over plastic. You won't have to bend that top piece up because it being released from the side allows it to raise without tearing it up. :)
3 years later, i'm back. I forgot how to do it. Thank you very much, your video is clear and concise. By the way, you look like my nephew back in NB Canada, a french Acadian :)
so glad i watched this. i havent been able to wear my Fossil for a cpl years because the battery died and i had no idea that the back would simply unscrew. piece of cake. i noticed the internals on yours were exactly like mine. thank you.
I understand.. 😊 But with simple instructions like this you can see how easy it is to do it.... I believe in doing things myself. Give it ago and impress urself 👍🏽
beautifulverv Ecua I must say , your father has great taste in watches 👍🏽 I love all my fossil watches as they all have a creative flare design Giving the user pleasure in wearing with different clothing. Happy Father’s Day to him. He’s going to love it...😊👍🏽
I got, like you, a Fossil ( the huge one with a brown watch strap) in 2017. I desperately needed to see an expert and learn how to change the strap. With God's help, I found your movie. It isn't complete, but it is something. Thanks a lot. 1 like
Definitely going to try this next time, I have exactly the same Fossil watch as the one on which you're changing the battery - Timpson charged me £19!!! Thank you for the helpful and useful video.
Awesome! Followed your step-by-step instructions precisely and it worked perfectly. Thanks for a great video and for also shooting in hi def with a tripod - makes a BIG difference. Clap for the Wolfeman!! (Hope you remember that old Guess Who song about Wolfman Jack). Cheers, Mate.
I read an article about watches called '10 things you did it wrong with your watch' and one of these 10 things was that you always should replace your battery at an specialized workshop or by waranty because may occur mist if you try to change by yourself.And the article said that if the workshop is pro they would vacume the air from the watch after replacing the battery and than they would seald it. This is the reason why I asked you :) (sorry for my english if I have some mistakes ) :)))
Im pleased it helped you. I always believe we should never be afraid to ask for help and You Tube has given us that chance. Seasons greetings to you and yours.🎄
Please note this video was done over 7 years ago and was for those who had not got a watch tool kit. I understand you see many errors, but it has help thousands of people replace their watches instead of placing them in draws never to see the light of day again. But I thank you for your words. Many thanks 👍🏽
Very good way of showing how to change a battery! I was about to get charged £30 quid for a change of battery. Now I've saved myself some dollars. Thanks.
nathan salas morning from Florida... I have another video showing how to reset the 3 little dials on the front. Subscribe and check it out or just check out my amendment 👍🏽
Your welcome. I do have some people saying I should use the correct tools. And although I do own those I wanted people to see how to do it with tools you may have in the house. Thank you for your comment..👍🏽
I found an old (beautiful) Fossil Blue BQ-9016, but the battery was removed! Any idea what battery it might take? The space for it seems roughly 6.5mm across.. so perhaps a 5.8mm cell: 317 , 379 , 319?
To tell you the truth most watch batteries are 1.5 v Any way and if you haven’t got the old battery then take it to your local Walgreens, CVS, Lowe’s or batteries plus shops/stores and measure up... or ask someone there to assist you. Hope that helps
Leonard Clementine 😂 I have that problem of being English living in Florida... Language differences makes me think 🤔 We call it a craft knife, but couldn’t think quick enough..😊
I used some kitchen scissors and tied a bunch of rubber bands around the tip so when I opened up the scissors there was tension. Worked well as well :)
Thanks a lot for this very helpful video! I have a question. The front of Fossil fs-4631 has a few parts that represent the hours and the stopwatch hands have come off. How can they be put back? I opened the back cover, removed the crown, but the blue metal board to which the parts showing the watches are attached looks wider than the sidewall of the watch, I couldn't remove it. Does the glass in front of the watch have to come off for this? In short, what is the way to do this?
@@yildizalliok so if you pull out the crown you will see another piece that is attached to the thread and crown. Get some thin bull nose plier onto that piece and another set onto the crown and turn. Turn the crown left and the other piece right. That takes the crown off to allow you to then lift the face out.👍🏽👍🏽
David good morning. First I must ask... Who has told u that the air is vacuumed ..??🤔 And u must bare in mind all watches are made to be opened to replace battery's ... Unless its doesn't need a battery.. If u take a fossil watch for a new battery in a fossil shop... The girl or guy serving will do it in front of u or in the back office. Now if u have changed ur own battery and u r seeing moisture on ur watch face inside then that means u have probably lost ur back plate rubber seal. Please explain the situation u r facing at this moment so I can assist u in more detail. Many thanks
Hi Ulises There are 2 types used for the fossil Big Tic .....Analog = SR621 And Digital = CR2016 And yes both watches require 2 batteries Hope this helps.😊
The tool is cheap enough on amazon and will prevent you from accidentally scratching the back cover with the long nose pliers. You don't want to do that with more expensive watches. But even if just a fossil watch, a scratch is still a scratch.
Bien Balajadia agreed But this was 5/6 years ago and although I had the tools to do the job..... I was showing those who hadn’t what they could use to do the job. If you love your watch you should always take care .👍🏽😊 But thanks for your comment.
Thanks for the video wolfeman... any idea how to remove the pins/lugs on the jr1157 that you showed? It's the one fossil watch that I can't figure out how to remove from the links that connect to the leather cuff. Thanks in advance.
I think David that would or could be the specialized type watches with cogs and beautiful workings inside. Not really the watches that are $200. Or less. Technology has changed in a big way. I will look for that article as it would be interesting to see how that would have been done. Thanks for the info.😊 And ur English is fine.👍🏽
Thanks for the tip, I was about to purchase the little tool to open watches. I have the Big Tick Fossil watch i removed the batteries a long time and lost them, any idea how or where to find out what batteries I need? Thanks a Bunch Wolfeman!!!
I've never paid for a battery for any of my fossil watches. Just take it in to a fossil store and they replace it for you free of charge. 🤷🏻♀️ Our closest one is about 30-45 minutes from where we live, so i just keep track of my battery percentage and if it gets too low i pop in a store when im already in the area
That's great.... don't forget to check my other video on the amendment on resetting of the 3 mini dials. The may not work after changing the battery and there is a reset hole to do it.👍🏽
Hi, wolfeman1966, this instructional video is incredibly helpful! Thank you very much for spending the time and effort on making it and then sharing it with us.
Thanks a lot! A store wanted to charge me 20£ (28$) for a single battery replacement. Ridiculous. Instead I'm going your route and buy 5 for 6£ from amazon and do it myself!
Emi that's great👍🏽 Let me know how it goes. Remember I have done another video on how to reset the smaller dials. As some times the don't start after taking out the battery.😊
neil piper that’s good..👍🏽 I have 2 with in a 40 mile radius. But many don’t or like me , like to do things for my self just to save those bucks $$$ I love to learn how things work, tick.. 😊 Can I ask how much they charge..?
wolfeman1966 do you know how to but a battery a Fashion Winner Brand New Automatic Wrist Leather Date Mechanical Automatic Steel Case Men's Watch White Watch
Bought a Fossil watch 4 weeks ago . I set the watch as accurate as possible, seconds at 12. After 4 weeks in storage ( On ), it was about 10 seconds to 12 seconds off. In the world of battery watches, is that Good, very Good or Excellent? $200 Cad retail
Joe Mel you must remember the watch battery has been running since it came out of the factory....& how long ago was that..?? So don’t judge the first battery but the second. Remember this isn’t a Rolex. Hope that helps 👍🏽
Hi there! Firstly , I am not a watch expert. I got a new watch as a gift and it had not battery on it, the battery was in the box and I tried putting it on my own. I somehow opened the wTch but, when I put in the battery , there was this small thing near the battery hole, I think it is called a spring. The one that touches the battery terminals. That part broke and I don't know what to do. This part is really small and is there was way to fix it back to the watch? Thank you!
At this moment one quick repair not the best but... Silver foil folded small enough to match the same size as the old piece . Make sure it touches the battery and the old metal piece on the side/ edge. 🤔
mine was tight i almost scrached it, is it supposed to be too tight? it seemed like you opened yours way easier than mine, i got the fossil jr1353 nate's collection
fusion. Yes it should be tight for water proofing. Mine was tight but I had opened it a day earlier to get the battery number and then got everything I needed to do the video. But I made sure it was put back on nice and tight.👍🏽
Really it the thinner long type … only because they could open wider to grip the recessed areas in the back plate. Just be gentle or use some electrical/ duct tape or decorative tape. So you don’t scratched👍🏽👍🏽
Can you please confirm that after battery change, the chronograph is working like it should? People complaining that after the battery change,the chronograph hands spin like crazy and the top button is not working properly and sometimes don't work at all. Thanks in advance!
I shall look into that......?? I'm wondering if it's because the battery was installed upside down. Will get back to u tomorrow .😊 And thanks for bringing it to our attention .
+wolfeman1966 Waiting for your reply and thanks for the quick come back. This is an issue that a lot of chronograph watch owners are complaining after the battery change. Some of them said that the problem was solved after making contact betwen the battery "+" and the AC (all clear) slot. Would gladly apreciate if you can also confirm the existance of the AC slot on this watch model, for it is the only video that I found and the mechanism was shown. Thanks again for the quick replay and i realy hope you can come back with this requested information not only for me but for a lot of owners that encounter this issue.
Good morning ... Just a quick question when you had to change the battery was it because it was dead completely...? If so it may be that you had pressed the chronograph button and so when putting in the new battery made it work and that could be why. What did you do to stop it from going around...?? Was it by pressing a button.?? These questions are to help me replicate your situation to find the correct answer. Many thanks
+wolfeman1966 Hello again! It was completly dead, and i don't recall pressing any of the cronograph buttons, i had the watch fixed in a vice so no buttons were pressed. when the battery was slotted crono hands strat spining around... to make it stop i had to remove the battery again... when pluged in again, same thing... haven't try tho to reset it with the AC and "+" on the battery...
Thanks mate! I have the CH2573 chrome chronograph watch with black neoprene rubber wristband (looks exactly like the one in video). I looked all over the dang internet for the battery # to replace mine and could not find it but saw this video.

@@wolfeman1966 Thanks. I actually just used my calipers to gently unscrew the back and held the watch in my palm. Then, used a precision flat head screw driver to pry off the retainer holding the battery. There's actually a part on the side that is clipped over plastic. You won't have to bend that top piece up because it being released from the side allows it to raise without tearing it up. :)

a man slowley realizing that his battery and chinese pliers are worth more than his watch. its still tickin. grab them lugs mate
Dan Yates but yet still cheaper then taking it to a watch maker/ jewelers👍🏽
Thanks a lot man!
ale alezed
Awesome, glad it helped 👍🏽
Ok... Did you keep/ save the broken piece..?
What type or model was the watch..?
mine was tight i almost scrached it, is it supposed to be too tight? it seemed like you opened yours way easier than mine, i got the fossil jr1353 nate's collection
by the way thanks im not a watch guy or anything it was a gift to me and it ran out of battery
fusion. Yes it should be tight for water proofing.
Mine was tight but I had opened it a day earlier to get the battery number and then got everything I needed to do the video.
But I made sure it was put back on nice and tight.👍🏽
fusion. Great gift 🎁😊
if it is to tight you got ripped off
My fossil watch been out of battery for 6 years or so, my rado 16 years but that one I don’t wanna risk changing
Why..?
There are cheap tools now to help 🤔👍🏽
Great video - thanks!
Which pliers did u use to open the case
Really it the thinner long type … only because they could open wider to grip the recessed areas in the back plate.
Just be gentle or use some electrical/ duct tape or decorative tape.
So you don’t scratched👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you so much.
Your welcome 👍🏽
Thank you so much for the how- to.
elli bee and thank you for watching 👍🏽
Can you please confirm that after battery change, the chronograph is working like it should? People complaining that after the battery change,the chronograph hands spin like crazy and the top button is not working properly and sometimes don't work at all. Thanks in advance!
I shall look into that......?? I'm wondering if it's because the battery was installed upside down.
Will get back to u tomorrow .😊
And thanks for bringing it to our attention .
+wolfeman1966 Waiting for your reply and thanks for the quick come back. This is an issue that a lot of chronograph watch owners are complaining after the battery change. Some of them said that the problem was solved after making contact betwen the battery "+" and the AC (all clear) slot. Would gladly apreciate if you can also confirm the existance of the AC slot on this watch model, for it is the only video that I found and the mechanism was shown. Thanks again for the quick replay and i realy hope you can come back with this requested information not only for me but for a lot of owners that encounter this issue.
Good morning ... Just a quick question when you had to change the battery was it because it was dead completely...?
If so it may be that you had pressed the chronograph button and so when putting in the new battery made it work and that could be why.
What did you do to stop it from going around...??
Was it by pressing a button.??
These questions are to help me replicate your situation to find the correct answer.
Many thanks
+wolfeman1966 Hello again! It was completly dead, and i don't recall pressing any of the cronograph buttons, i had the watch fixed in a vice so no buttons were pressed. when the battery was slotted crono hands strat spining around... to make it stop i had to remove the battery again... when pluged in again, same thing... haven't try tho to reset it with the AC and "+" on the battery...

One more question what was the model of your Fossil watch.??
I will get to the bottom of this ASAP
I don't believe you have to take off the pins, I have a similar leather band and you just have to unbutton the buttons. cheers.
Rodney Brown do u mean the brown strapped fossil watch with the studs..?
As I have looked at them and they were riveted..?
@@wolfeman1966 yes, on closer inspection it appears in the video you're 100% correct. I have a similar Fossil where those are snaps.
