What do people with weak hands do when they need to replace a watch battery? Surely people don't take their thirty dollar Timex watches to jewelers to have the batteries replaced?
The nice young woman at Kinney's popped the back off for me and put the battery in, but she couldn't get the back on again either. Her professional opinion was that Timex watches are the hardest ones to deal with. I'm ready to throw it away and buy a new watch. Grrr. Bob has been wrestling with it for ten minutes. He'll probably break the crystal before he gets done. Oh well. Is there a trick? Are we on Candid Camera?

Someone told me if it's water-resistent or proof. don't try, you can't get back on right. For 5-10 bucks there's a place at our mall that does it. Jewelers are too expensive. Good luck.

I always take my watch to WalMart or Target. (Target does a better job I think)
I have taken my watches to places like the Jewelry departments in Von Maur or Dillards, and they'll do the batteries there too. Havent done that in awhile, since I quit wearing a watch when my arm was numb last year. I wear pendant watches now, or I'll just use the clock on my cellphone.

As kicker said, most jewellers will do it cheaply enough, and a battery usually lasts a couple of years. Cherie

well i for one don't use a watch, but I have a nice pocket watch, i had to bring in to have battery replaced, i could not for the life of me get it opened,
this may sound weird but you can ask deb about it i can usually guess the time to with in ten minutes I have no idea i have always been able to do this i have a good internal clock i guess, really freaks out my kids and deb lol, I did it at the hospital(this weekend) twice to same doc, and the doc looked around for a clock but it was on wall behind me, she even asked how did i do that [personally i wouldn't spend a lot on a watch i break them or lose them ]

I didn't even catch that. What does that say about my eye brain coordination?

I could never get the back off a watch -- even when my hands were normal!!!! Used to go to a jeweler, but Walmart is closer!
Sally -- Thought you were just kidding.....or else maybe it was an "Ohioism"???? Frank -- Bad spellers "untie"? Isn't it strange, you just expect it to be unite and the brain doesn't even catch it for awhile! By the way, what time is it?? Seems like I have a whole drawer of watches that need batteries, but then I don't really wear them much anymore since I'm always at home. Plus I'd rather wear my "Life Alert" as a bracelet instead of a pendant -- when I wear it. Kind of irritates the skin on my arm. blab, blab, blab........
