Timex T73751 Clip On Watch Battery Replacement

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

7

Time Required

20 minutes

Introduction

  1. PRQi3cShkDe2XLPU

    • The front of the watch. Of course the battery is in the back.

    • The button on the left is used to rotate the watch within the clip. The button does not release the watch from the clip.

  2. ryPvLNsEjJ4Wr6lk

    • Remove the four (4) screws on the rear of the watch. Note the battery number (CR2025) printed on the back of the watch

  3. bXbgwptNLdjccBO1

    • You will find a rubber cover held down by 6 small metal tabs.

    • Note - the tab circled in orange was bent in a way that the tab could not be unbent. I don't know if that is on purpose.

  4. eCGNuBTWteCaQUMT

    • The tabs are now bent upward in order to release the rubber gasket. Note that the tab circled in orange was not unbent.

    • The upper screw is longer than the lower screw. The upper screw tab has an extra tab.

  6. rqmXDxACxm1eeKDG

    • Two screws hold down the battery cover. The screw in the side with a tab is slightly longer than the other side.

    • Peel the battery holder off of the CR2025 battery.

    • Note the message on the cover: After battery insertion short AC pad and battery (+) to reset. Note the small arrow on the lower left.

    • The top of the battery is (+).

    What do you mean by “…short AC pad and batter (+) to rest.” ?

    Ernest Mannella -

    In order to reset the watch, after changing the battery, you will need to connect the AC pad to the battery with something metal, a small wire, paperclip, or a coin perhaps. The arrow on the cover shows where the AC pad is on the watch (the AC pad is *not* on the cover). Connect something metal from that pad to the top of the battery.

Thank you Duane! I had taken the back off but didn’t realize the battery was under a sticker. It was there the whole time after all. I’ve had this watch for years and never got this done until now so it’s nice to see it running again. Great directions on your part. I used to do all the battery replacements and band installs/ link removal at our department store as a young woman but it’s been awhile and I’m a bit rusty at this now.
