How do I open the watch case?


There are four main types of watch case:

  • the 'snap back' type,
  • the 'screw off' type
  • watch cases where the watch back plate is held in place by small screws
  • Swatch watches, which have sealed cases which do not open, but have a battery port that can be opened for easy battery replacement.
