    Watches can be damaged without proper handling and while the repair you are about to attempt may seem simple, you can easily break or ruin the watch with any small mistake. If you have any doubts about this repair, do not hesitate to take your watch to a professional watchmaker or jeweler.

    If you are having a hard time inserting the pin into the second hole, put the watch in a freezer for about ten minutes. This will shrink the band a little and give you more play in the instalation. After an hour of struggling I did this and it popped right in.

      Genius! These have the most problematic band to get snapped back in I have ever dealt with and I own a lot of watches. The band pinches and stops the spring from being able to lock in. RAGE!! That said they are one of the most comfortable bands.

    The problem I am having is that moving the pin around on a resin case seems to scrape and do permanent damage to the lugs. Maybe it takes more than one try, but each try is scraping, and "eating" away at, the non-metallic lug.

    I replaced my Timex Ironman watch battery (CR2025) last night...for the 3rd time. Band is still in perfect condition. I've had the watch for around 5 years or so. I replaced the original band, once. So, it's on it's 2nd watch band...& its 3rd battery now. It's been a great watch.
    Anyway, why do they make it SO HARD to remove the pins!!!??? Argh!! The 1st pin came off really easily......but the other one took around 45 minutes to finally get off.
    I use a tiny jeweler's type screwdriver....& don't have the professional jeweler's tools, of course. Is their a trick to getting the pin off, EASILY?? Is that tool you're using a special tool, that makes it much easier to take the pins off?
    That's always the hardest part for me; removing the pins from the watch. Aside from that, it's a rather easy job to do. I think I have the old, original gasket in okay. What will happen if the gasket isn't on perfectly....will sweat get inside, etc? Hope not!! Don't want any battery acid issues...on my wrist.
    Timex; Ironman watches are really nice......but with that band being so flush with the watch (for style/looks)...it's tough getting to the retractable pins. I need a watch that has both a stopwatch & a timer feature...for my medication monitoring. Not sure how much Walmart or a jewelry store would charge to replace the battery, but I enjoy doing "repairs" & maintenance on stuff I own....if I can. Sense of accomplishment. But....man, it took too long to get that 2nd pin off last night. Fingers are sore today...lol.
    Good video, btw. Not all on CZcams are very good when showing how to do something.

      It does that on both side for me, I've been trying to pop them in the holes of the watch for over an half an hour... still no success.
      Edit: After some bloody tears and pain on every inches of my hands, I finally got it... after 75 minutes, and scraping the hell out of my watch back-side, and tilting one new spring.
      Worth the effort? I need to ask my old brain I had to throw in the garbage for overheating of frustration over this stupid task.
