Seiko V400-1229, having trouble opening back to replace battery. Do not see a lip to pry open?

SOURCE: Can't open the wrist watch case

Use a Testor's razor knife with eye protection. Use as much of the blade edge as possible. The Testor's blades are fairly strong and thin and I have used them on many Skagens before. I have had some Swiss cases with no gap or tab and the tightest tolerances and the Testor's hobby knife blades were the only hope and solution. Please use care and eye protection for any repairs or service of this nature. Things break and fly off with great force. Including the blade of a knife or razor knife.

SOURCE: 40 year old Seiko has stainless steel back with

Here's my suggestion. Take it to the jewelry dept at Walmart. Do you have one where you live.
They'll replace for free - Battery $8
Watch how they do it with their tools and you'll know how to do it yourself in the future.
Good luck

I suggest you take it to a watch shop. DIY battery replacement is not as easy as it seems.

Frequently there are cries for help after a battery has been replaced and the watch no longer works!

mcdevito75 here, Those 4 screws hold the back onto your Timex. Do not try to pry off the back cover, rather you"ll need jewlers screwdrivers to un--screw that back cover to replace the battery.

SOURCE: how do i open this

I have no ideal. All i know is that it is a Seiko womans watch and Seiko has numerous types of backs on them!! If it has 6 notches on the back, then yes, it is a screw off and it takes a special tool to open the back. Please take to a local jeweler who sells SEIKO to have the battery replaced.
