How do I open the back to change the battery on my timex e tide/temp watch

Hi Bob, did you solve the conundrum?
Have the same problem with the white plastic cover for T49706.

have you try changing the battery...?

or-

did your watch has been been dropped?

It is highly recommended that you take it to a jeweller's to replace the battery. If the battery is replaced you need to reset the watch by push/short internal reset switch after replacing battery.

take it to a pro, a watchmaker

Low battery can cause this type of fault! Make sure after changing the battery to do the all reset inside of the watch. If this does not work get in contact with Timex for how to have their watch sent for service.

I am looking for stem and crown for Timex Expedition North Tide Temp Compass watch. Mine broken.

Use the numbers on the back of your watch and you will have a PDF version of your instruction manual.

Hope this tip helps

For Compass Adjustment search on Google or FixYa

For Temperature calibration:
1. Pull the crown to most extended position (2 notches)
2. Temp hand moves to a default position
3. Move hand in + or - direction by pressing temp or tide buttons (above and below crown button)
4. When done, push crown to 0 position
(I used melting ice water to calibrate and fix to 0 deg C)

For Tide calibration:
1. Pull crown to middle position (1 notch)
2. Move hand in + or - direction by pressing temp or tide buttons (above and below crown button)
3. When done, push crown to 0 position

Hope this helps
