How can you tell if a silver oxide watch battery is bad before inserting it into the watch?

You would have to use a battery tester or a voltmeter whcih will tell you if there is still a charge on the battery

Dear Suzanne C. Just locate your nearest Radio Shack and they will test the battery for you free of charge. You can also take your battery to any local auto repair shop or an automotive electrical repair shop and they will test your batteries. If you don't want to spend the time taking your batteries to any of these paces, you can buy an inexpensive test meter from ebay and DIY. A note: check the expiration date on the battery package. Usually, if that date is over a month or two past, your batteries "May" not have as much charge left, but not completely dead.

You can check the voltage with a meter, although a battery tester is better. Not sure if you can get a tester for this type. Open circuit voltage should be a little over 1.5v. You can do this before taking cell out of package. The meter probe, if pointed, will pierce a hole in front and there is a little hole in back of package.

Measure it with a voltmeter. Or use a battery tester. You can get a multimeter (measures volts, amps and ohms) for as little as $15. Then have someone show you how to use it. Its not hard and it's fun. Many other uses such as checking continuity, troubleshooting your car, checking electrical sockets, etc.

You can take it to a jeweler or a watchmaker, but since most watch batteries cost $6-7 or more (not including their fee if they have one), I'd just buy a new one.

Hook it up to the battery you want to test and select test. The tester will test the battery ans tell you if it is good or bad,

that is exactly what I did as I have different sensors just stop, was not batteries. just check that the sensor works with that watch.

U should have a clamp like looking charger. On the back of the watch there are 4 pin holes. The clamp fits into the 4 pin slots. U can either plug it into a computer or into an electrical outlet.

They take a certain type of watch batteries, mine haven't died yet and I've had mine for a year

I'd make sure the battery was in correctly. It may just be a faulty fit bit and need to be returned.

On my stop watch you have to unscrew a little screw to get access to the battery. Hope that helps.

hi karim... after you connect your charging cable to your phone/watch,you should see on your watch monitor that charging is in progress.IF this is not happening, then the watch probably has either a defective battery or the charger is defective.IF SO ...RETURN IT TO THE VENDOR.this is probably why the watch is not turning on. I HOPE THAT THIS WAS HELPFUL. (GOOD LUCK)...leo.

The battery in the chest strap you can replace yourself. The battery in the watch it is suggested that you take it to a jeweler to get the battery replaced.

Please do not buy this watch. I bought one and the battery dies every five days and recently 2-3 days. It fogs up when I run and is not shower safe. I used A ton of batteries and will throw this away now because I finally bought another watch. I tried after two weeks of purchasing to return to amazon and had used three batteries in two weeks and they rejected the return saying battery life was not a good excuse. I replied that it was defective and they replied they are sorry and would not take it back. Do not buy is my advise. Mc

Any hardware, dollar store, Walmart. It's a standard watch battery. You may need two. Just make sure the voltage is the same if you get one battery or half if you use two.

This watch was one of the biggest pieces of junk I have ever purchased we could never get our watch to work at all. Having said that, replacement batteries are often available at dollar stores, also check Radio Shack and Batteries are Us, if none of them are available any electronics store should have them. Hope this helps.

I imagine there's a watch type battery in it that you can replace. But there's a solar battery in it and I've been using these for years and have never had to replace try battery yet.

The battery is not easily removed, but with some jewelers screwdrivers you can dismantle the battery compartment and insert a new battery. One tip, please take photographs of every step so you can refer to the photos when re-assembling. It is tricky otherwise. The other issue of course is getting the O ring back in it's slot so the watch has some degree of being waterproof. That will be an important issue.I believe it is very difficult to pressure test a plastic watch. Probably not worth the exercise.

It can vary. You might find it helpful to pin down the watch and use a wrench on the coin to get the back off. Usually sticking the wide end of a toothpick in and twisting does the trick on the battery. Batteries vary slightly in fit. Now some batteries have a sticker on the back which needs to be removed. The manual recommends professional service or at least a replacement seal if monitor is going to be used underwater.
