What size battery for Dakota Time Tool 7 - Tumi Dakota Time Tool 7 Clip Watch

To set the time on a Dakota one button watch, you will need to follow the instructions in the user manual that came with the watch. If you do not have the user manual, you can try the following steps:

1. Press and hold the button on the top right side of the watch: Press and hold the button until the time display appears.
2. Set the time: Use the button to set the time. The specific sequence for setting the time will depend on the make and model of your watch.
3. Exit the time setting mode: Once the time is set, you will need to exit the time setting mode. The specific steps for exiting the time setting mode will depend on the make and model of your watch.

It is important to note that the steps for setting the time on a Dakota one button watch may vary depending on the specific make and model of the watch. If you are unable to set the time using the steps above, it is recommended to refer to the user manual or contact Dakota customer support for assistance.
If you have a "his and hers" set of Dakota watches, the steps for setting the time on both watches should be the same. You can use the steps above to set the time on both watches.

Some of these watches have a notch where the stem goes. If you don't have the back in place it will not snap back into place. Also some are a slight screw back and will snap off, but when putting them back you must kind of screw it back in place. Good luck.

If you don't already know what size battery you need, you can find this information on the back plate of your watch. Once you have your replacement battery, you will need to open the back of the watch to gain access to the battery compartment. Depending on the watch, the back plate will either screw off or be attached by a few small screws. If attached with screws, you will need a set of precision screwdrivers such as a jewelry or eyeglass kit.

Inside the battery compartment, you will see the battery is held down by a clip. Carefully remove the clip and eject the battery. Insert the new battery and replace the clip. If the battery clamp indicates you should do so, quickly press the reset button twice. Then reattach the back of the watch. If the watch display remains off after replacing the battery, press all buttons at the same time to reset the display.

My best advice to you is to contact Dakota or send to Dakota. It may not be what you want to hear, but its probably going to be your best interest to send back to them so they can properly care for your watch.

mcdevito75 here, besides the pins, you"ll need a special tool called a Pin Removal tool. By the time you order and recieve, it"s better to look for a small watch repair shop in your area for the removal / Install of these pins and links.

There is a reason why Bulova watches cost so much when you need to replace the battery....it's DIFFICULT! You can try the following, but I would HIGHLY recommend having a jeweler replace it for you. At one time Walmart did it for next to nothing, but I don't know if they do Bulova watches at this time, but it costs nothing to call them.
Try this AT YOUR OWN RISK:
The best choice for removing a threaded caseback is to use a "caseback removal tool", which consists of two or three adjustable "pins" attached to a handle (most WalMarts sell a two-pin tool in their jewelry department, and you can purchase a better three-pin tool from several vendors on eBay). To use it, start by placing the watch face-down on a padded surface (to avoid scratching the crystal). Adjust the pins so that they very snugly fit into the notches cut into the caseback; if you don't, the pins can jump out when you try to use it and scratch the watch. Place the tool over the caseback and engage the pins into the slots; then, holding the watch steady with one hand and the tool in the other, give the tool a counterclockwise turn to loosen the back (it may take a lot of force to do this, especially if this is the first time the battery is being replaced). Once the caseback is loosened (usually about 1/4 to 1/2 turn), remove the tool and finish unscrewing the back by hand to avoid scratching the watch. Be careful as you remove it as some watches use a very thin O-ring on the back to make a watertight seal.
Afer replacing the battery and ensuring the watch is running properly again, carefully inspect the surface of the case and the threading on the caseback and remove any dust or grimy deposits with a soft cloth. Then, place the caseback onto the case, being careful to align the O-ring or other seals, as well as the caseback threads (tip: to ensure the threads are lined up, place the back on the watch and turn it counterclockwise about 1/2 turn or until you feel the ends of the threads "fall" into place). Screw the caseback down as far as possible by hand, then use the removal tool to tighten it the rest of the way.

This watch requires a size 1620 battery, available at all Dakota Watch Company store locations, and most electronics stores. Dakota Watch Company always recommends taking your watch to one of our store locations or a reputable jeweler to reduce the risk of damaging your watch during a battery change.
