Timex Watch Battery Latch removal and replacement Ironman, Expedition, etc.

By admin

Here is how you remove a timex watch battery latch that does not have a screw. The video is a little dark but when it comes time to take off the latch you get a clear shot of it. Please post your watch model so others can easily find this video. Thank you!

Found this one out the hard way.” If you are interested in what I used to make it waterproof again, I used a can of silicone spray (like you would get at a car parts store) Put a little bit into a bottle cap and then used a small screwdriver to dip it in the silicone and then dab it around on both sides of the o-ring. I am sure you could probably take the o-ring out and use your fingers or a qtip to spread it as well. Here are some of the watches that use this latch (please post your watch type to help others) -T5E411 Ironman Triathlon Sleek 75 Lap OVA Sports Watch -Timex Expedition – Ironman 30-Lap T5K268UM – old T54281 – Ironman Triathlon Fitness Monitor (comes with a HR monitor) – Timex Marathon T5E311 A commenter noted that “if you put the backplate on in the wrong orientation, the watch will not beep when it’s supposed to.
