How to Open Back of Watch?

Check whether the watch back is a snap-on, screw-down, or held by screws

Place the watch face down on a soft cloth

Use the correct tool for the back type

For a snap-on back, insert a case knife or thin pry tool into the small notch

Gently twist or lift until the back pops off

For a screw-down back, use a case back opener or rubber ball and turn counterclockwise

For a back held by screws, use a small precision screwdriver to remove each screw

Keep pressure steady and avoid slipping

Store the back and screws safely after removal

If the back does not open easily, stop and use the proper tool or seek a professional
