Replacing watch battery help

[Jben04]

Hello, having been on here for a while,,,
Anyways, just realized my watch battery has stopped and it seems i need to get it replaced.Last time this happend i was able to send it to Oakley, but now it seems they do not service them no more.
I have a Fuse Box stealth, is the battery on this a easy swap out or would it be recommended to take it so a specialist or something?

If you have steady hands you can probably do it yourself. If not any watch shop should be able to do it for like $10 or so.

Thanks for the input ..
The jeweler in town will replace the battery for $20... considering how much these suckers are worth ,think ill take it to them beginning of the week lol.

Watch battery changing is allot more scary than hard. Just use a magnifying headset if you have one and don't back the screw to the battery clamp out all the way and switch em out. If a screw on the case is tough to break use small intent pulses of strength to break it loose so you don't strip the head. Really thats all there is to it. I will Youtube and watch something done before I attempt when I am not sure. Learning this will add up especially if you have a bunch of watches. $1.25 for the battery and your time vs $10-$20 at the jeweler. Its a good idea to clean up any DNA and even blow out the movement (lightly) since its usually something to small to see that breaks movements.

Take it to reputable place.
If you take it to some amateur mall kiosk chop shop, they're going to chew up the back of the case.

Just got them back from the jeweler.
All have fresh batteries and pressure tested.
