Open the battery compartment of the watch

The battery compartment of some wristwatches is often difficult to open and the whole arsenal of what one has at home on tools, knives, scissors, etc. fails. But what always works for me is the Swiss knife. With the above blade (picture) I get the lid on without leaving a scratch. If you do not have a Swiss knife - the purchase is worthwhile in any case.

Brandy: You can not and should not handle such a flat rate. Waterproof and higher priced watches can only be opened with a special tool. The watchmaker has such special pliers at his disposal in his specialized tool pool. Waterproof watches should also be closed again under pressure after the battery change, so that the previous tightness is re-established. This can only be the expert and a layman should not act here. With cheap fashion watches you can help yourself with a knife, but only with these watches!
