Timex Battery Replacement 

Thanks for the video! I was stumped until you showed how to unclip the battery holder clips. On old battery, the indigo stopped working, even though other functions still worked. Old battery voltage was drained down to 1.3 V. New battery clocks in at 2.27 V, and glows like a champ!

I could not have replaced the battery on my Timex ironman today without you! I cannot understand how you could have gotten any thumbs down at all for this video. I tried to watch another video where the person did not explain anything and it was too difficult to follow. If I could follow your video and get this watch battery replaced anybody can. :-) Thank you so much for doing this!

Thanks for posting this video. Saved me a lot of time and "head scratching" as I was trying to remove the battery holder without breaking the thin metal. Worked like a charm the first time!

This looks so simple! A jeweler who replaces batteries all the time stopped when he got inside because he didn't know how to loosen the clips. So now I can do it myself.

Thank you for your great video on how to remove the battery! I watched five or six other other videos, and they were terrible. Yours was awesome!

Clear, consise, "professional". Very impressed.

I like what Mark Lazarus said. I would also like to add that your video was made very well! I was able to see everything and you explained everything in detail. Your audio was clear and the background music was not distracting. Thanks for saving me $20!

Hey Rich, I appreciate your video. Watchman wanted $25 to replace battery. He said battery was $5, so you have saved me $20, and give me the satisfaction of DIY. Will be doing my partners soon too :)

Great video. This and a $2.00 battery saved me $500 on an Apple Watch, which tempted me after my Ironman went blank. Thanks!

Thank you! Couldn't figure out how to get the battery out so I found you to help. Good job!! You were very clear and I was able to follow the whole process. :-)

Timex got so good at making these things. I cannot tell you how many batteries my watch has used up. :-)

Just found your video, had already got back off the watch, but couldn't work out how to release the clips holding the battery in. Your instructions made it clear just what to do. Job completed and watch working fine. Many thanks.

Thanks a ton. Couldn't figure out how to get the battery plate off. Safety pin worked right away as you showed.

Just an awesome video! It helped me replace my battery on my iron man watch without having to buy a new one. Thanks!

Thank you so much! Excellent tutorial...your little helper at the end is sweet.

Hey Rich - thanks a million for this video. Headed to Walgreens to get batteries for ALL my Timex Ironman watches that I can now "reuse"!!

I agree with the last comment. I watched another video and it was worthless. With yours I was able to change the battery easily. Thanks for posting!

Rich, thank you so much for the precise & correct the first time directions. I've had 4 women's Ironman watches over the years & this was the odd one. I'm so glad I googled RU-vid how to change a woman's Ironman watch battery & this was the first video. Keep up the awesome videos please! :-)

I'm finally having to replace my battery and couldn't figure out how to get past the sticker with the clips. Thanks for a great video! This process worked on the Timex Expedition T49659 too.

Thank you for the tutorial. I had figured everything out except the clips. I now have a functioning watch.

Yep, nice job of explaining, hitting all the high points, what you have to look out for and when the lights should come back on. Thanks

BRILLIANT demonstration/explanation of how to replace this battery - the people who gave thumbs down are total a-holes! I'd give you a hundred thumbs UP if I could but I guess one will have to do.

Thanks for posting. I was completely baffled as to how to undo the clip that held the battery.

Glad to know about the red 'seal'..... I just opened the watch and didn't know what that was all about..... now I can safely proceed.... Thanks.

Much appreciated - quite a service you have provided. I was getting desperate.

Thanks for the tutorial 👍🏼. Just trying to get the battery out of my older ironman. The strap broke, so time to retire it. This wil help with changing the battery in my new one. Very helpful.

hey thanks! the clip business over the battery was really not easy to see how to pop off but with a pin and what you said it worked right away!

Thank you for creating this ez to follow battery replacement video, It worked. 2 thumbs up!

Thank you!! Mine has one battery clip and one TINY screw instead of the 2nd battery clip so it was a little different and my sticker was white not red. But without this video I was STUMPED. Thank you, thank you :)

Thanks so much for sharing and taking the time to help all of us out who want to do it ourselves!!!

Just used your vid to replace my IronMan battery. Thank you!!

Rich - thanks - appreciate the info. Nicely done and helpful as I'm about to fix my Ironman watch.

Thanks for the video sir, I recently changed my battery on my timex ironman 30 lap w/ indiglo day model. I changed the battery, but it has no sound. So I turned the back case the other way around, that the spring thing contacts the white thing like speakers, but still no sound. Well, it turns out that the lock clip on the battery itself is not on the same position as it should be. because I recently removed the battery including the battery lock clip.. So I turned it to the opposite position, the sound worked again. Thanks again

Thanks so much... followed all ur instructions. Great results!

Very helpful video. Perfect explanation and it worked like a charm. Thanks!

Great video. Looks like my Timex Men's T48042 Expedition Digital Chrono. I wish I'd watched this first :)

excellent description, especially the comment on the speaker :) thanks!

Thanks for the great demo. It really helped me do this repair.

Cool, thanks, I was wondering what was meant by 'unclip'

Very helpful. Thanks for the tutorial!

That was excellent. Good job dude!

Good instructions! Thank you!

So useful... thank you!

Followed your process steps. While clicking the battery back into position I pressed against the LED screen with my thumb. The digital time didn't read. Alternatively a black and blue brush stroke appeared and hasn't disappeared. Do you think pressing against the face with my thumb is responsible? Rob

Thank you! I changed the battery EASILY watching your vid! Question: Do you know how to change the band? Mine broke and I called Timex and was told the band can't be changed and for $25 I could buy a whole new replacement watch from Timex. BTW, Timex would not even sell me a replacement band. Thanks a million!

Thank you worked like charm.

Thankyou!!! you saved my watch

Thank you! This was a life saver!

Very informative...thanks for posting

There are different types of rubbing alcohol. Use the 91% Isopropyl type for cleaning small parts and tape heads. A 16oz. bottle of this stuff is way far cheaper than those tiny bottles of the same thing in other stores. FYI: Finger nail polish remover and Acetone are the same thing too.

Hi thanks for the video. Its a great help. Do you have a video on how to replace the straps? Thanks in advance :)

thanks, great video. Very useful

Thank you. Has the Timex police come knocking at your door because the drop in sales this video has created?

Thank you, Rich!

Thanks Rich Very helpful

Thank you This is excellent. Success.

I changed Times Marathon battery with new one just as you did. Digits still not working. How to “short reset pad”?

Worked for me, thanks!

Thanks! very helpful...

0:12 "I appreciate you guys WATCHing" ... heh... ... heh...

You don't want to use rubbing alcohol on the gasket it will dry it out. They are coated in silicon grease to preserve them and to keep water out. Also you shouldn't take the whole module/movement out since some digital watches like Casio's have springs for the alarms that can fall out, the button pushers can come off track, and what you did by touching and put finger prints on the LCD screen. Oh and Rolex doesn't make watches with batteries if you see a new one it's a fake.

great video. thanks

Thanks bunches !

thank you so much!!!!

Excellent! Thx

I have one, I recently change the battery, but I dont know how I could put the real time. Please could you help me please?

Good video

Great Tutorial. I was watching your video while replacing the battery however, upon replacement of the new battery the time on the watch reports the following: CR8 01 EE:EE 00 Instead of reporting the actual time. Any advice?

Ok vid, but you didn't address "shorting out" the watch. Please include that step.

thanks a million rich

what about the note there inside in the red label that says to reset the vdd? whats that?

I replace my battery (see below) but the watch won't come back on. How do I RESET it? I wish I'd seen this before I tried to replace my battery. I couldn't figure out how to remove the battery clips so I disasambled the whole watch. When I replaced the battery, the watch won't come on.

I need help changing the battery out of my tw5m41400 timex watch. I tried these steps and it didn’t work

hi, just done it and with your video, it was so easy but, now the alarm isn't working, I can put the beeps on and off but nothing that I can do to turn on the alarm. You got any clue?

FYI: DO NOT use rubbing alcohol on the rubber seal/gasket as alcohol will dry it out. Use silicone instead.

Yay! This was so helpful! save me a ton $!$

I have my husbands watch apart and on the sticker over the battery it says "after battery replacement short posts to reset" What the heck does that mean?

Can you do a Rolex battery replacement? :-P Nice job on the video, very informative! :-) You are a copycat with Bella at the end of the video, no pun intended ;-)

You just dated the hell out of your wife and yourself by admitting you still wear a timex watch. lol. Glad to see a new video though!

Changed battery just like the video. However, as soon as I tightened the screws at the back the watch stops working. Does anyone have any advice about this problem?

Thanks!

Issue is the screwdriver. I already had a watch repair set. Issue is, the screw drivers it comes with can't work with the Ironman watch. Bought new batteries before realizing this

Thanks

Gracias kompa ....

agh, thanks dude!

I changed my battery with no problems, but now my watch is stuck in Demo mode and i can't get out. Googled it - nothing. Help!!!

What battery do you use?

You have a cute kitty

Save yourself some self promotion and useless drivel. skip to 1:00. You're welcome.

wife? what was HIS name?

4 sites same guy!!!!

That's why my watches are mechanical or solar powered and they can be as accurate as quartz but no need to replace batteries. Batteries are expensive and bad for the environment. I don't know why in the 21st century people still buy battery powered watches.

no it does not work for other Timex watches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just an awesome video! It helped me replace my battery on my iron man watch without having to buy a new one. Thanks!

Very helpful!!! Thank you!!

Thanks
