How to open the Tissot PR50 back to replace its battery?
A water resistant watch usually has a back that screws into the case and seals with a rubber O ring.
Sometimes the back can be very tight to unscrew so even with the dedicated wrench it is difficult to remove without damage to the case. The professional would disconnect one end of the bracelet and clamp the case into a special holder.
Once a non-dealer has replaced the battery it is usual to discover the back isn't replaced as tightly as original - this is reflected by the usual warning the watch will no longer be waterproof. The only way to retain the waterproof or water resistant quality is to have the battery replaced by a dealer or manufacturer when it will be, if required, pressure tested.
My Tissot touch will no
In this watch the battery should be changed after one year, depending on how often the features are used. After changing the battery the all reset should be done. Best to take it to an authorized service, and not any non authorized place to change the battery. Get in touch with Tissot for the info about where to bring the watch.
I was given a Tissot
If it is the eta 2824-2 model. When you say the hands don't turn, I take it it does not work? its an automatic so needs wrist/ hand movement to wind the rotor. You can manually wind the watch by simply turning the crown (without pulling the crown out) Try doing this first.
