I wouldn't say it's super easy. A correct size mainspring winder is needed and leaving the T end out of the winder is the trick to get it in. Not the easiest thing for a newbie. -

Had another strange one on my bench. A Titan ladies watch with an unknown movement. It had a battery leak and initial test revealed a short circuit. I removed the PCB and gave it an acid wash. The short was cleared and I reassembled the movement and dropped in a new battery. I thought that was it, job done. But when I looked at the second hand carefully, I noticed something wasn't right. It would tick one second, then twitch the next second. Like ... tick ... twitch ... tick ... twitch. Weird! So I disassembled everything and ran it through a cleaning cycle. I didn't take any photos during disassembly because I thought "how hard could it get? It a quartz watch". Boy was I wrong. Took me 2 hours to figure out where everything went. But everything worked out fine in the end. After dinner, I researched more on the Titan watch company and found out that the movement is an in-house movement, the 5130. There was a video on YouTube even.
