Unbelievable Return on Investment!
For an investment of about $10, immediately upon its arrival I saved at least $100 and regained the use of a half-dozen watches I’d forgotten I had. Because I would have to take a watch to a watch repair place whenever its battery died, pay $10-15 just to have the battery replaced, and then wait as long as a week to get it back, I usually procrastinated doing so and often ended up forgetting to do so. The current pandemic made this even more difficult, and when my go-to watches starting dying I decided it was time I acquired the tools to do it myself. I was mainly interested in getting a wrench that would allow me to open the back of my Swiss Army watch, but thought it pretty nifty that this kit also had tools for opening every other kind of watch. So when it arrived, I collected every old watch I had and found I could open them all and replace their batteries myself. The tools worked as promised, including the watch vise which was very useful for holding the watches whose backs required more effort to unscrew or pry off. While not the finest jewelers tools, they are more than “good enough” and of much higher quality than I expected for the price. With them I don’t expect I’ll ever have to send out to have a battery replaced again. Two final points: first, replacing the batteries is as simple to do as it sounds, so fear not that it is a leap into the unknown or that it requires special skills. Second, buy your replacement batteries online: for the price you pay at the drug store for one, you can get a pack of 2 or 3 or more thru Amazon. (Oh, and if any questions about which battery to get, you can find battery conversion charts online as well.). In sum, this is a purchase that has exceeded my expectations and brought me a lot of satisfaction.

Great All in 1 Watch kit!
This is a great kit with all the tools to open the back of your watch, no matter which kind and replace your battery! For years, I took my watches to repair shops and paid the high price just for them to put new batteries in…no more! This kit comes with everything you need to do it yourself. They also have a little instruction manual that gives you simple instructions on how to use all the tools included. Within 30 min, I replaced the batteries in 4 different watches! Highly recommend.

Great kit but not for large faced watches.
This kit has everything one needs. The only issue I have it with the base that holds the watch while you work on it. I like big bold jewelry and boyfriend style watches. To give you an idea of sizing, I have several Michael Kors boyfriend watches. They are too wide to fit in the holder. However I can use the tools while fumbling with the watch. This kit works best with small faced watches.

Great tool kit
I sell items online and some of those items are watches. I always put a new battery in them before they are shipped so I was looking for a nice battery replacement kit. This is a wonderful kit and it comes with all the tools to hold, remove and replace a battery. It doesn't come with the batteries of course but I bought them on Amazon. The kit came well packaged and all the tools fit in the sturdy box it came in. Great kit and great price.

Paid for itself with the 1st use.
It's always been a hassle changing watch batteries as some have teeny screws holding the back on or you can't take the back off because you need a special tool to unscrew it. This tool is the charm that handles all those problems. After reviewing the video I put it to the test & quickly changed 2 batteries. I am more than happy with this tool & my only regret is I didn't have it years ago. It paid for self with these 2 battery changes considering the jewelry person charges $10-12.00 per watch for a battery so I'm ahead of the game and oh so happy. This tool is simple & very easy to use, I highly recommend it if you want to change your watch batteries & save money.

Okay tool, that works 95% of the time - still paid for itself
The Watch Battery Replacement Tool Kit is very cheap but that is why I bought it. I tried a test pry on a watch with one of the small screwdrivers and it bent like warm butter - both To File 13. The adjustment pegs do not fit tightly, so they fall out in handling - so could be easy to lose (keep the handy sturdy box).So, the tool’s two prongs did not provide enough torque to open the watch I purchased the tool for. $20.00 later a jeweler with a three prong tool was able to open the watch with some effort. A second watch opened easily; the tool paid for itself. Since I told a neighbor, my door bell has been ringing any many watches have been opened but one more failure too. Hopefully it will work for you.Oh, the Watch Battery Replacement Tool Kit came with instructions, and my jeweler said they were incorrect in specifying to twist in both directions - counter clockwise is the way to go.

It paid for itself in one hour
I had eight watches that had piled up in a drawer waiting for batteries.Now I have only one.In an hour I had replaced the batteries for 7 watches and they are all in working order. Why not 8? The last watch has the battery secured in with a tiny metal belt with an even tinier screw. None of the screwdrivers that came with this set were thin enough to turn that tiny screw.I had a good deal of trouble getting some of the backs on-I see that there is another tool for that that I think I may invest in as well.This product does not appear to be incredibly sturdy, but it works fine for non-professionals. If this set had to be used daily-I'm not sure it would hold up, but for once or twice a year this should be good for a good long while.The instructions this comes with are vague and not at all helpful but videos can be found online to guide you through the use of these tools.This kit paid for itself in an hour. The last time I had my watch batteries replaced (and this was years ago...) it was $14 per watch. Now I can't even find anyone to change watch batteries unless I go to a jeweler. For that reason alone-5 stars.
