Fossil watch battery removal?

[jazzman]

I am trying to change a battery on a Fossil mens watch. The battery replacement on this watch seems to be different than the average watch. It appears that the battery cannot be removed easily, or am I missing a trick?

Is this a solar powered watch with a rechargeable battery?

Model number or something would be helpful. Then yes… Solar battery typically they are a little more complicated take-out.

Model number Fossil NDW2F9

I'm not sure if you are supposed to change that. The battery is the large 3V coin cell that is just below the battery hatch. There is a YT video of a similar Fossil watch.

It‘s not solar powered. Battery is CR2430.

The photo shared by @jazzman does not show the battery.

Thanks all.

Silly me the battery CR2430 was firmly attached to the watch cover when the cover was removed.

I find it refreshing that you told us what happened. A good learning curve possibly for others Thank you.

I agree with Ross, often people get a hint of a possible solution and never get back to tell how it worked out.

so thanks from me too.
