Tissot T-Touch Battery Change

During my trip to Europe in 2002, I purchased my T-Touch watch in Switzerland. I have always enjoyed wearing it. My battery just died last month (2008). Instead of sending it to the store for 80 bucks battery change, I'd like to share my battery replacing experience with you. The total cost for my battery change is only $1.49 -- Bail you out from the expensive battery change.

Preparation:

• Small - screwdriver (260/1,5x40)
• Scissors
• Renata CR1632 battery ($1.49)
  

1. Remove the bottom plate of your T-touch. With caution, I started out with small screwdriver, then with scissors blade...(took me about 15 minutes)

1.5. Don't use the holes on the bottom plate as leverage, the seal on the other side is fragile, especially if your watch is couple years old. This image shows you the hole I poked.

2. After bottom plate is removed, unscrew the 2 tiny screws first. It's tricky to remove the battery cover, because the plastic cover is held down with magnetic. CAUTION: Do NOT use the screw holder as leverage as it breaks easily.

3. Remove the battery using the screwdriver. It's much easier to remove it from the OPPOSITE side of the spring.

4. Put the new CR1632 battery in place. Push the battery against the spring. Don't be surprised if you hear a beep. That means your watch is waking up.

5. Now just put everything back. You did it! Now you just need to re-synchronize the digital/analog time on your T-Touch. Here's how to do it:

1. Press and hold on to the T button until it beeps
   
2. Touch the middle of the screen to change digital display to unit selection
3. Press and hold the T-button until "Synchronize" comes up in the digital display
4. Use the + button and - button to align the hour and minute hand to 12:00.
5. Click on the T-button again. Congrats, you're done!
6. Enjoy~
