My Nixon Outsider watch won't come back on after a battery replacement. Are there contacts I am suppose to touch with tweezers? I am not seeing any.

SOURCE: CASIO SPF40 battery replacement

"AC" means All Clear. This terminal should be marked somehow. Use a magnifying glass to get a good look at what you are working on. My Casio had an arrow pointing to four copper leads. I used a paper clip to connect the AC terminal (I just picked one of the four) to the + side (usually the "up" side) for a couple seconds and my Casio Sea Pathfinder model 2273 powered right up. See the following link for more guidance.

SOURCE: Battery Replacement

Do not lay the tweezers across any contacts as you may damage the watch.
First you need to examine your watch movement and find an AC point (contact). It is embedded on movement. Use an eyeglass, as the writings can be very tiny.
When found, touch an AC point with one arm of tweezers and battery+ with another arm simultaneously.
Some watches needs to do that twice, so, to be sure, do that twice.
If you are not comfortable with tweezers, you can use a thin wire, connecting one end of the wire to AC point and another to battery+.
Each shortcut should last for 3 seconds.

SOURCE: battery change for Nixon Kink watch

You have to open your watch caseback. Undo the battery holding contact, get the battery out and memorise the writings on the battery. Buy exactly the same one and replace it in the backwards way you took it out.

How do I change my battery in my nixon 51-30chrono stainless watch
Where the back contacts the watch you'll discover a spot where the back doesn't completely contact the watch case. Slide a thin bladed knife in there to pry off the back. You may see a screw holding the battery down. A jewelers screw driver will be needed to loosen it. You will see a number on the battery. The replacement battery will have the same number on it or a series of numbers it's compatible with. Once the battery is out, replacing it is simple.

Reset a t-touch expert
Shortcut battery with AC contact. AC can be found on the sides of watch movement(very tiny). You have to use pointed tweezers: one end on battery+, another on AC contact for three secs
If you take a jeweler's lupe near where the arrow is you will see the word "reset" in the plastic.
There is a deep hole in the plastic with contacts below. That is the reset, and that is why you must use very sharp pointed tweezers to make contact with the back of the battery.

I think if you do not have sharp tweezers, you can probably put a sewing pin down the hole, and then connect with a small screwdriver to the back of the battery

I have found the instructions on their web site but this alarm is not mentioned.

I suspect that it is a battery low indication; this would be consistent with a battery that is over a year old .

I replaced the battery. was told it needed to be grounded before it would work....yep...how do i that? thx, rick
Remove and reinsert battery.If no result,proceed as follows:
Use a watch tweezer with sharp endings.Remove watch back cover.You will see somewhere on the watch chassis "AC" engraved.There is a hole with contact at the bottom next to "AC".Gently,put one leg of the tweezer touching this contact and the other leg touching the chassis,instantly.Check the display.If no result,try again.This short-circuit/ground will activated the internal circuit and the watch will start working.If you do not have tweezer,you can use 2 watch repairer screw drivers,as well.

How to change battery
  • Spread the towel out on a flat surface.
  • Remove the watchband if necessary in order to access the back of the watch.
  • Unscrew the back protector from the watch using the correct size miniature screw driver. Place the screws in a small pile on the towel. Be careful not to drop them as they are difficult to find.
  • Remove the back plate by unscrewing the small screws. There is a tiny spring on the underneath of the back plate. It may be visible, or not. Make sure not to turn the watch upside down or the spring will dislodge.
  • Remove the rubber protector to find the battery.
  • Use sharp point tweezers to remove the clasp covering the battery. There is a small hole at one end of the clasp. Insert one end of the tweezers into the hole to spring the clasp loose.
  • Remove the old battery with tweezers.
    • Insert New Battery and Reassemble Watch
  • Pick up the new battery using regular tweezers and put it into place. Do not touch the battery with your fingers.
  • Replace the clasp over the top of the new battery.
  • Perform a reset by touching the AC contact with one part of the tweezers and the back of the battery with the other part. Hold for a few seconds. Lift the watch carefully and look up at the front to make sure the watch is working. Do not turn the watch over.
  • Replace the rubber cover.
  • Replace the back plate by screwing the small screws back into place.
  • Replace the back protector by screwing the small screws back into place.
  • Reattach the watch band to the watch face.

    • Feel a bit unnerved by this? Find a local jeweler. Best regards.

    Replace battery for PULSAR Y911. how ro start it?
    To restart the watch, you have to short the battery with a pin that sits under a sticker on the back of the watch. The sticker is supposed to explain that. You can usually do it with a pair of sharp scissors or tweezers. Without "jumpstarting" the watch, just installing a new battery won't start the watch. (I don't know why.)
