My wife's watch battery died. We were quoted $20 in the local mall to replace the battery- almost as expensive as replacing the watch! So I bought this kit and I have to say I'm very impressed with the build quality and especially with the ease of use. The last time we tried to change a battery in her watch without the right tools, we got so frustrated - we got the back off eventually but couldn't get it back on again. My wife eventually managed it by sandwiching the watch between a pile of books and slamming more books on them!Enter this tool, chose the right size of back flicker, the right dies for the front and back of the watch for the clamp. It literally took longer to get the Duracell battery out of its packaging than it did to open the back of the watch, replace the battery and snap the back into place again.So glad I bought this tool set.

Normally I pop the backs off watches to change batteries using a small thin 2 blade pocket knife. But on 2 occassions I couldn't get the back off - both times were for watches my wife really liked and she ended up them and rebuying the same watches...both of which now needed batteries and I couldn't (safely anyway) pop the backs. So I ordered this kit.The watch vise allowed me to hold the watch safely and using the smallest of the pry tools I was able to pop the back. YES! Choosing a kit that included the press proved to be a good decision for me. In the past I always managed to pop the backs of watches back on when I got them off with the pocket knife but this time I couldn't get the back to snap on. The press did the trick.Some of the negative reviews mentioned missing parts. While I won't say thoser reviews are incorrect, I will note that the parts pamphlet is confusing/misleading. It appears to be a one pamphlet fits all. My kit didn't have all the parts described in the pamphlet but I didn't order the larger watch repair kit. However, I did get everything described in the product description that appears on the Amazon listing/order page.There are no instructions - there is a presumption if you are ordering it you are handy enough to know how to use it. Changing a watch battery isn't rocket science and this kit works for me. For 'home duty' it gets a thumbs up. I'm only giving it a 4 of 5 because the product box didn't hold up in shipping and contents had spiilled into the shipping envelope and I don't have a watch to try our the the 'twisty tool' back remover which based on some reviews I've read may the weakest link of the kit.

If you still use watches with batteries, this works great. I especially appreciate the clamp press, which allows you to close the watch up safely after you're done. I've learned from experience this is almost impossible to do without the right tool, so saved hours of aggravation.

So, it turned out that I needed a watch press. I had a crystal on one of my watches replaced by a professional jeweler. After nearly two weeks, I got the watch back, but noticed that the 9 o'clock area of the crystal was "proud" above the bezel. Not wanting to wait another two weeks for a fix, I found appropriate size dies and used the press in this tool kit. A few seconds later, my crystal was perfectly flush with the bezel. (Many watch crystals are simply pressed, friction-fit in place.)Subsequently, a different watch had the hour hand work loose off the pinion. Though it was still trapped by the minute hand, the hour hand no longer told time. The watch has a friction-fit case back and is 100M water resistant. As you might imagine, that case back was a devil to get off, but it helps when you have the right tools - that come in this kit. I was able to open the watch, remove the crown and stem, and get the movement out of the case, so I could work on the hands. After re-seating the hour hand and reassembling the watch, I needed that watch press again to put the case-back, back on the watch.I'm now giving consideration to modding my Casio GA-B2100 (the "CasiOak"), with BGW9 luminescent hands, hour, and chapter ring markers. The lume on the hands from the factory is not very good, in my opinion, and there is no lume on the hour and chapter markers. Changing the hour and chapter rings - you guessed it - requires a watch press to remove and re-install the crystal, in order to access those parts. Might as well change out the hands, with much better lumed ones, while the watch is apart.I realize that "tinkering" with watches isn't everyone's cup of tea. But, I've been taking things apart and putting them back together for as long as I can remember. If you're into maintaining your own watches instead of paying someone else, then this tool kit is essential.Now, granted, if I had a $10,000 watch, I would still use a professional. But I don't have that kind of money, so for the watches I have, I have no problem doing things myself.

There are no instructions for this kit. A you tube video tells you nothing about each tool & how to use them.

As others have said, this kit will pay for itself the day you get it if you're anything like me who had a couple of watches sitting dead for want of batteries. Some watches are easy enough to service with tools you might already have on hand, but others would be near impossible to open with what you get in this kit.Whether it's the kind of watch where the back is tightly threaded on (most underwater watches are like this), or the back pops off but is impossible to snap back in, this kit makes everything very straight forward. The "instructions" are of little use however, so if you haven't already done some of this, go to YouTube for some tips about how watches can be serviced.Personally, the one aspect I REALLY wish was included would be some sort of case or box to keep all the pieces organized. I'd certainly pay more for a version that did. But anyway, though none of it is of the very best quality (you're not going to open a pro watch repair shop with this kit) it all WORKS. I replaced five watch batteries in very little time so if that's all I got out of it it'd be worth it. I have a few more to fix that my wife owns and see this as being handy for years to come.
