Found my Animal watch!

[90's Ninja]

This W002 was buried in a box for 25 years. I remember getting it for Christmas when I was 12. Not sure if I should get a new strap for it or what. Its a smaller size watch than I typically wear

Show a photo of the back! Most watches have a similar design that uses a sort of "vice wrench" to unscrew the back. A "watch repair kit" can be had on eBay/Amazon for cheap. You can also open them with calipers if it's not too tight, carefully as to not scratch the back. After that there may be a plastic cover, depending on what kind of movement the watch uses. After that there should be a little tab holding the button cell battery in place that is either bent or pushed to the side and the battery will just pop right out. I have some Nike and Ripcurl watches. The Nike ones have tiny screws and the Ripcurls have this standard "vice wrench" design - don't remember the proper name.

As for batteries there is a bunch that is commonly found. You can buy a multipack of button cell batteries from a variety of stores and it's likely that the one you need will be there. Could probably also find a local high street jewellers that does watches and grab a battery from then once you've opened it.

Used to work in a keyshop that also did watches

Thank you. Appreciate the detailed response.

So you will probably need one of these tools.

Thanks Bones58. The back of my watch is the same as yours, so seeing the inside of yours was really helpful. Gonna have a go at doing it myself! Thanks again.
