Yes; use a "small" phillips screw driver -- do it on a flat light colored table so you don't loose the screws. Look at the clip [that holds the battery in place] carefully first: so that you will remember how it fits when you fit the new battery. The 'O' ring that seals the cover should stay in place. If not, rub a small amount of vaseline on a finger to transfer to the 'O' ring seal so that it sticks in place. Nice watch :^)

I replaced mine myself but after doing it the compass never worked right again

Sorry... Didn't get as far as looking into battery replacement and the recipient of the watch is New Zealand now!

Unfortunately the battery is not replaceable unless you take the unit apart yourself. There's a couple of youtube videos discussing this but it may be more trouble than it is worth. The sides of the unit are glued together and need to be heated to be taken apart.

I would need to know more about what you are talking about to possible help you. But if you have a watch like I have I had to find a very small screw which was holding a very tiny piece of metal resting on the battery. I needed jewelry tools.

If you want to get into taking the unit apart (disassemble it), then yes you can replace.. there is no 'open door' to change the batteries.. you need to solder-desolder the old (and new)-replace-- reassemble.. otherwise you can't..

I do not believe you can replace the battery. I contacted the seller of mine about this and got conflicting info. They lastly told me to pry off the back to replace the battery which I believe will break the unit if attempted. My 2 still work so I have not tried it yet.

It is not designed for the owner to replace the battery, however if you are handy you can open it up and replace the battery, it's soldered in so you should be comfortable with a soldering iron.

I very carefully used a small screwdriver to separate the front from the back and I believe there was a small wheel or screw adjustment. If I need to change the battery, though, I'll take it to the watch/jeweler at my local mall.

I've not had to replace the battery. Perhaps the manufacturer could give you an answer. Locally we have a store that advertised they have any kind of battery needed so if I did need one I'd try that store first. They might have economical batteries and would be a local access if you needed more batteries in the future . Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Actually, you don't. The battery is rechargeable, but if it fails, just buy a new set. It would cost more to replace the battery.

Have never had to replace. I would imagine you could do it with some difficulty, but it will probably be cheaper to throw it away and buy a new one. I think the quality of the battery is better than the rest of the unit

I believe the packaging said that it never needs replacing. I don't see any place to replace the battery.

If you install it with the included bracket, then you can take the light off the bracket and easily change the battery. If you install the light directly without the bracket, then you would have to unscrew/unglue the light to change the battery.

You can replace the battery yourself. C Crane has a pdf guide at their website. It took me 5 minutes to do it myself.

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.

Start with checking the battery to see if it needs replacing. Once the battery is replaced, press the mode button to get to time change, date, and announce features. If you can't figure it out you can take it to a watch repair store and I'm sure they'll help you. Last resort you have option to return it.

Yes, inside the glove there is a Velcro area in the wrist where you can take out the box that contains the lithium battery. It's fairly easy to change but if you are having problems just go to a watch battery replacement shop or hearing aid shop & they will do it for you. I hope this helps!!

No it's not a battery that you can just take out, you must have knowledge of taking it apart and replacing it with a new battery. It's a built in battery using small cords
