How to Replace a Battery in a Tissot Quartz Watch184


Replacing the battery in a Tissot quartz watch is a relatively simple process that can be completed in a few minutes with the right tools. Here are the steps on how to do it:

Tools You'll Need:


* Tweezers
* Phillips head screwdriver
* New watch battery (type Renata 394 or equivalent)
* Soft cloth or tissue

Step 1: Remove the back cover


* Place the watch face down on a soft cloth to protect it from scratches.
* Locate the small screws on the back of the watch case. There will typically be four screws, but some models may have more.
* Using a Phillips head screwdriver, carefully unscrew the screws.
* Once the screws are removed, gently pry open the back cover using the tweezers.

Step 2: Locate the battery


* Once the back cover is open, you will see the watch's movement. The battery is usually located in the center of the movement, held in place by a small metal clip or bracket.

Step 3: Remove the old battery


* Use the tweezers to gently remove the old battery from the clip or bracket. Be careful not to touch the battery terminals with your fingers, as this can damage the watch.

Step 4: Clean the battery terminals


* Before inserting the new battery, use a soft cloth or tissue to clean the battery terminals on both the watch movement and the battery itself. This will ensure a good electrical connection.

Step 5: Insert the new battery


* With the clean battery terminals, insert the new battery into the clip or bracket. Make sure that the positive (+) terminal of the battery is facing upwards, towards the watch movement.

Step 6: Secure the battery


* Once the new battery is in place, use the tweezers to secure the metal clip or bracket over it. Make sure that the battery is held firmly in place.

Step 7: Replace the back cover


* Carefully align the back cover with the watch case and press it down until it clicks into place.
* Replace the screws and tighten them securely using the screwdriver.

Step 8: Check the watch


* Once the back cover is replaced, reset the time and date on the watch.
* Test the watch to make sure that it is working properly.

Tips:


* Use a high-quality watch battery for best results.
* Handle the battery with gloves or tweezers to avoid damaging it.
* If you are not comfortable replacing the battery yourself, you can take the watch to a jeweler or watch repair shop for assistance.
By following these steps, you can easily replace the battery in your Tissot quartz watch and keep it running smoothly.
