Watch batteries

    The missus has five watches of various types which need the battery replacing. Looking at the backs, there seems no obvious way to open them.

    Is the most cost-effective method to bring them all to a watch repair place? If so, which one? Or is there a multi-tool that can be bought to open watches, then buy the relevant batteries online?

    P.

    If you looked for the models online you might find how to open them, I have a torch and there were a shocking amount of youtube videos of lads fixing that particular model.

    In the €2 shop in dunlaoghaire you get 32 watch batteries of varying sizes for €2. There is a shop on little mary street in dublin (the continuation of henry street going towards capel street), they look like a €2 type shop but do cutting of keys and car accessories over €2. The lads in it seem techy enough and could probably open them cheaper than a watch repair place would charge, and they have those same packs of cheap batteries there.

    use a fork or something with a pointy top and lift off the back then go to the 2 euro shop as the above poster said and buy some batterys- they're fair good!
