Please note that many Fossil kaleido watches, especially the sports variety actually have THREE batteries. Two run the animation and one runs the time. The time one lasts much longer, usually a few years, but is smaller and buried a little deeper so you could overlook it if not paying attention. The two kaleido batteries are very visible and usually placed side to side. Pay attention though as for some of the watches those two batteries are set in the same way ( both positive sides up) while others, especially the sports variety have one battery positive side up and the other negative side up. It is important to replace them the same way or the watch will not work
Mine has a bracket holding those two down, I can't figure out how to loosen it or remove the batteries?
Did you figure this out? I have the same question.
I used to just pry up the ends of the contacts until I could get the batteries out and then bend them back down before reinserting the batteries. But I finally figured it out. -- I use a very long straight pin -- then if holding the watch as in the photo with batteries on the left-- you are going to gently use the tip of the pin to pry outward and upward on the upper most, outer most part of the clip that is holding the copper plate in place. That will cause that left side ( towards the outside of the watch of the clip to pop up. The right side of the clip will then lift right up on its own. Be sure to note which side of the clip is which. The side with the little extension arm sticking out ( that you will only see once you lift out the clip) goes to the outside of the watch. That extenuation arm is what your are prying out on with your pin to release the clip. After replacing the batteries, you will insert the outer part of the clip back in place first ( the side you pried out) and then push down on the other ( inner ) side of the clip. You may have to apply a bit of pressure and it will snap and lock back into place. The first few times I did this it took awhile ( a couple of minutes) to get the clip to pop loose, and to snap back in place. Now I am able to pop it loose and lock it back into place in seconds.

The watch has two batteries. underneath the large disk battery is a smaller button battery. replace the small button battery and your watch should start up again.

You have to have a tool to unscrew the back of the watch. I figured this out the hard way. I suggest taking it to a jewler for after I replaced my battery, the stinking thing still did not work. This sounds like a commom problem as I read more about them. Hope this helped.

when you look at the back are there three small rectangular indents
evenly spaced on the edge on the back? If so you'll need a special tool
for opening waterproof watches. the tool adjusts to fit the three
indents then press down as you turn counterclockwise. you can find the
tool on amazon.com or your local jewelry store. make sure the gasket is
in place and not damaged before screwing the back on.
here is a link to the tool

the type f battery will be written on the battery and you can usually find them at a drug store, hardware store or jewelry store that sells watches.
