    I feel so old watching this I used to watch your videos when I was like 9 or 10 I’m almost 16 now glad to see your still around

    Good idea to check/replace the caseback gasket too to ensure the water resistance. Cheers

    I bought virtually the same set, plus an etic case knife for one of my watches with that style of case. Been a great investment!

    Excellent video. I knew I was wasting money paying 15 per battery change. Thank you for taking the time to make and thanks for the amazon link!

    I used to work for a large watch manufacturer and the product manager from Maxell told me not to handle a silver oxide battery with bare hands. He said that even if your hands are very dry there is still enough moisture to knock off about a third of the battery life. Since then I've always used a cloth or plastic tweezers. This is a great kit by the way.

    I'm 75 and for years I've attempted to replace the batteries in the various battery watches I've owned. To date I've never had a watch work after replacing the battery. Some run for a week or so and then quit. Most never restart even after trying several new and fresh batteries. I recently had a man tell me this has also been his experience.

    • @morecowbell235
      @morecowbell235 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There could only a few causes for that. The watch was bad before you changed the battery, the battery was bad, or the battery was contaminated by touching it with your skin (silver oxide only) and lost most of its power

    Thanks! I ordered the same kit but it lacked directions. Many moons ago I replaced batteries at a jewelry store that didn't have all these tools. Thanks for the tips. Now I can change batteries in all the many watches my mother who wore them as jewelry without spending a fortune!

    Check out Long Island Watch on TH-cam. Mark has a video series called "Watch & Learn" where he talks about various watch things like changing straps, sizing bracelets, changing batteries, etc.
    Another channel I really like is Relative Time. Shane does a great job on watch reviews with out silly gimmicks and schtick like some other characters in the watch world. Random Rob is another and he does talk about knives on occasion, as well.

    Off topic but Jeff how do you feel about the crkt minimalist cleaver. It keeps showing up in my feed

    @EhRandomGuy 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh man, I can only imagine the content you'd have if you ever got into mechanical watches...
    Your channel would be a perfect trifecta of EDC: Knives, lighters and watches.
    Btw, which watch is that?

    Did you add silicone grease to the O ring to keep it water tight?

    Which manufacture makes the bigger wrench.? Can you put the link.
    Tnx.

  • @Larry-gs8gb
    @Larry-gs8gb 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You might want to get a small can of compressed air to blow out any dust or lint that gets into it when you open the back before you close it back up

    The store I work at charges $20 to do a watch battery granted with us you pay $20 one time and it has a nationwide lifetime warranty (its just a normal silver oxide battery but we replace it free when it dies). You can get these tools to do it yourself for that price and then you can do many watches but we take responsibility when doing it so if we break your watch its on us. So there are benefits to DIY and benefits to having it done at a "professional."
    The one tool I recommend is a GOOD watch knife or "case opening tool" Etic makes a good one. You also will need a decent press with lots of dies.

    My Seiko Kinetic (1990's) Was $0.50 at a flea market. Guy warmed me it was $60. to get it repaired. Bought the kit for $16 and the Seiko "special" capacitor battery for $26.50, 2 hours later.....saved $7.50 . Time is cheap? Any way it was fun and I got a $350 watch and a kit.

    I need to get that bigger wrench . Mine is too small for my watches .

  • @avalon449

    I’ve looked at buying tools like that for a long time.

  • @fredlao6655

    Good investment for someone who likes to collect watches . Even cheap ebay stuff can do the job .

    Did the same thing with the press, the dyes and throat weren't big enough for a pocket watch.

  • @Hissatsu5

    I have the kit but my Swiss watch battery is under warranty so I get it replaced for free I also got a book on cookoo clock repair

  • @guinea4594
    @guinea4594 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Haha you dont need a press for the press fit casebacks. You're highly unlikely the break the crystal even if its plexi from pushing the back on.

  • @bkmeahan
    @bkmeahan ปีที่แล้ว

    The replacement batteries from the watch repair places never seem to last long so having the kit pays for itself very quickly. Mine has tools that I have no idea what they are for,

    I had a local guy that would do it for free just battery cost vs, Mall jewelers charging battery plus$25 or $30. I have 2 watches that need batteries right now but the local guy moved away. I gave up on DIY several years ago because of that gasket/rubber band always breaking. If the face clouds up on a damp day waterproof is gone.

    • @jgbullen
      @jgbullen 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      PS: If you do get dampness under the watch face hang it on a lamp near the bulb to dry it out without heat high enough to melt parts.

  • @sharkskin3448
    @sharkskin3448 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I couldn't care less about $15-25 for battery replacement every couple years. Problem now is finding someone and finding time that works out. If you have to leave it, that's 2 trips. COVID changed everything. No one replaces watch batteries around here.

    DO NOT GET INTO WATCHES! THEY TOOK ALL MY MONEY AND TIME. LOL

  • @Alejandro-me2py
    @Alejandro-me2py 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    There is no need for so many tools for just a simple quartz movement, like...the Jaxa key is more than enough to just replace a battery

    • @lou_gubrious
      @lou_gubrious 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      yeah but Jeff is a tool guy so obviously he has extra tools lol
