Can't find replacement battery

Either a loose connection inside or it just needs a new battery. They can be power hungry depending on how you use it and what battery technology type was used in the last one.

Hi Debra, yours might be similar to my IronMan watch...... 4 small Philips head screws to remove then back comes away to reveal a sticker that has 2 clips either side, use a safety pin point to release the clips and the battery comes off with the sticker! The battery is placed with the total flat side upwards! Hope this helps!

If you don't know what size battery you need, you can find this information on the back plate of your watch. All Indiglo watches have it stamped there, you may need a magnifying glass to read it though!

Radio shack has TONS of batteries, if they don't have it in stock, they can get it

Hello,

What is the exact model of the watch. I have several Timex Electronic watches that might fit your description. If you pop the caseback do you see the old battery inside? Most batteries would have a reference like: CR2016.

Back Plate:
About 1 1/4'' inches wide. Inside inscription/stamp reads:
FOSSIL INC. HONG KONG 1
Battery:
Energizer 373
Movement plate:
There are 3 inscriptions/stamps
1) S (May be a # 5)
2) 1A
3) TMI TIME MODULE INC. JAPAN VX3J
(The above number stamp may also read UX3J)

Thanks for contacting FixYa.
I dont know what type of TImex it is, nor how long you have had it. CR1216 is a battery.
I would send to Timex for repair or a local jeweler. I would recommend the Timex repair, You can go here for info:

the battery type is written on the back of the watch.

hi
i am not an expert in this particular case but i followed theses below steps . here are they.....

Unscrew the case back with a case back tool (aka Jaxa wrench) which engages
the notches in the case back. I'm assuming the watch has a screw back - if
it has notches it does. Pop out the old battery.

In some watches you have to
unscrew a clip but in most the battery pops right out. Examine movement for
evidence of battery leakage or other damage. Carefully clear away any crud
at the edge of the case - the tiniest metal shaving will short out the coil.
Install new battery of same type. Handle new battery with non-metal tweezers
or rubber gloves, never bare fingers. Inspect case back gasket or preferably
just replace it with new o-ring of same size. Gasket should be lubricated
with silicone grease. Reinstall case back using wrench. If you are
concerned with water resistance the watch needs to be tested in a pressure
test machine. I'm sure the pros have more tips but this should suffice for a
Timex where it would not be a big loss to damage or break the watch.

i hope you can successfully replace the battery
thank you
