Tissot V8 battery replacement

Yes, I should know the answer to this: I'm unsure how to properly remove the back of this watch.  I assume it's a pressed-on back, but I've tried to pry it off a couple of times and have only resulted in scratching the back.  I've looked around online and have found nothing.  Thanks for any input!

It does not screw down , and since it has a sapphire crystal I seriously doubt It comes out thru the front. looks like a very tight snap on back to me. A real Pain.. razor blade perhaps or utility knife, some one on this forum has a specialized tool for this perhaps they will chime in.

it would be worth the time to take it to watchmaker and ask "remove the back please".   if you do get it off,  it will be hard to get back on.  on the cheaper watches (pocket watches also)  it might be a factory miss match.  you can enlarge I.D. with a dremel grinder.  let us know what happens.   good luck.   vin

Get off with a watchmakers knife, Amazon 10 bucks. Getting back on may require a watchmaker. I have a watch back press. The trick is to press in the inside of the back cover to slightly reduce the diameter of the back and then you press it on with a proper press.d7d1fae412882eb328cc0ff0efb2271b.jpg

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
