How to Put the Back Cover on a Watch After Changing the Battery
- 1). Set the watch face down on a soft surface, such as a computer mouse pad or a cloth. This protects the watch face from being scratched.
- 2). Place the case back on the watch. Some watches will have a rubber O-ring or gasket. If yours does, place this in position before placing the case back on.
- 3). Align the indent on the case back with the indent on the side of the watch and press on the case back gently with your thumbs until you hear a click. The case back is now in place.
- 4). Use a small standard screwdriver or a case back wrench, available at many hardware or watch repair stores, to close a case back that has several slots on the back. Use the screwdriver or the metal tips on the case back wrench to turn the slots on the case back in a counterclockwise direction. When all of the slots have been turned, the case back is in place.
- 5). Set the watch, if necessary.
