Opening the back of a watch is a necessary step for many repairs and maintenance tasks. It can also be helpful for inspecting the movement of the watch or replacing the battery. There are a few different ways to open the back of a watch, depending on the type of watch.
The most common type of watch back is a screw-down back. This type of back is held in place by several small screws that must be removed before the back can be opened. To remove the screws, you will need a small screwdriver that is the correct size for the screws. Once the screws are removed, the back of the watch can be lifted off.
