Was just given 2 dead watches by my wife and as I had one of my own it was battery changing day. I keep record of when I've changed batteries and realized that I have a Tissot PR-100, that gets plenty of wrist time, whose battery was last changed in May 2022. I don't recall if this watch gives the multi second jump as a warning of low battery.

Do you guys wait until a watch is dead before changing or do it on some schedule?

As reported in another thread I had 3 watches to change batteries. All had the (to me anyway) dreaded snap on case back. I have changed my own batteries for several years and have used a variety of probably non-approved methods to get the case back snapped back on. One time I couldn't get the darn thing back on and had to sheepishly bring it to my local watch repair to get it on.

This time I finally decided to buy a case press. Googling up where to get one revealed that Harbor…

I was looking at the back of my fairly new Bulova Jet Star when I noticed that the case back was not exactly aligned with the band and watch face. Not any kind of issue but especially on a screw case back should it perfectly align front to bottom? ...
