 Changing watch batteries - can't get the back off - Stuartli
>> Why change batteries on cheap watches?

Buy another watch...>>

I buy the 99p or £1 packs of batteries (40 or 50 in the pack of various sizes) and even just using one battery is cheaper in the long run than paying brand name prices, which are most likely in any case the same product rebadged.

These batteries normally last at least a year in cheap watches I wear for general/messing about daytime use and getting the back off usually proves easy if just a straight lift-off action, using a large size miniature screwdriver (the £1 a pack type!)

I only wear my decent watches as and when required..:-)
