There are two possible \nreasons that this happened: Either time has stopped altogether, or your \nwatch battery is dead. Some scientists from UC Berkeley predict that \ntime could end within the next three to four billion years. Most agree \nthat it\u2019s very unlikely to happen during our lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nWith that in mind, you can safely conclude that your <em><strong>watch\u2019s battery<\/strong><\/em>\n has died. You know what that means: You need to change your watch \nbattery for a new one. You might wonder, how to change a watch battery?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nHow to Change a <strong>Watch Battery<\/strong> in 10 Simple Steps<br><strong>Step 1: Remove the back cover. <\/strong><br>\n  There are generally three types of back covers: ones that unscrew \nthemselves, ones that require a small screwdriver, and ones that must be\n gently pried loose.<br><strong><br>\nStep 2: Remove the gasket. <\/strong><br>\n  If you notice a rubber ring underneath the back cover, this is the \ngasket. Set it aside before taking out the battery. Note: If it\u2019s dirty,\n you should clean it, too.<br><strong><br>\nStep 3: Find the watch battery. <\/strong><br>\n  Most watch batteries are of the button-cell variety. It\u2019ll usually be a\n shiny metallic color, with a diameter somewhere between 6 and 9.5 \nmillimeters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 4: Extract the watch battery. <\/strong><br>\n  Now for the big moment! Once you\u2019ve located the watch\u2019s battery, it\u2019s \ntime to determine what\u2019s holding it in place. Some are restrained with a\n cover and screw, others with a spring clip, and still others are more \nloosely installed. Make sure that you use the correct tool for the job. \nWarning: We recommend using plastic tools, rather than metal ones, to \navoid an electrical shock.<br><strong><br>\nStep 5: Identify the watch battery. <\/strong><br>\n  Notice the 3- or 4-digit number on the back of the casing. This will tell you exactly which model it is.<br><strong><br>\nStep 6: Buy the watch battery replacement. <\/strong><br>\n  You can purchase replacement watch batteries in most jewelry stores, \nelectronics stores, drug stores, or hardware stores. You\u2019ll also find \nplenty of them on our Battery Depot website! Refer to your defunct \nbattery\u2019s identification number to ensure that you\u2019re getting the rig<br>\n  ht one for your timepiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 7: Install the watch battery replacement. <\/strong><br>\n  Perform Step 4 in reverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 8: Make sure that it\u2019s working. <\/strong><br>\n  Now that your watch has a new battery, you should check if it\u2019s \nrunning. If it\u2019s still not keeping time, perhaps you should call the \nresearchers at UC Berkeley to let them know that something\u2019s amiss with \nthe space-time continuum.<br><strong><br>\nStep 9: Replace the gasket. <\/strong><br>\n  Perform Step 2 in reverse.<br><strong><br>\nStep 10: Replace the back cover. <\/strong><br>\n  Perform Step 1 in reverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/lg-battery-BL-S6-p1776473.htm\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE Watch BL-S6 Battery<\/a><br>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/lg-battery-BL-S4-p1776452.htm\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LG Watch BL-S4 Battery<\/a><br>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/asus-battery-C11N1541-p1776396.htm\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Asus W1502QF ZenWatch 2 0B200-01760100 C11N1541 Battery<\/a><br>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/motorola-battery-SNN5971A-p1776212.htm\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Moto 360 2nd-Gen 2015 Smart Watch FW3S SNN5971A Battery<\/a><br>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/sony-battery-GB-S10-353235-0100-p1776194.htm\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sony SmartWatch 3 SWR50 GB-S10-353235-0100 Battery<\/a><br>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/motorola-battery-WX30-p1776193.htm\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Motorola Moto 360 1st Gen 2014 SNN5951A WX30 Battery<\/a><br>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/microsoft-battery-1ICP6\/18\/24-p1776075.htm\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Band 2 Smartwatch tools 1ICP6\/18\/24 Battery<\/a><br>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/huawei-battery-HB442528EBC-p1776074.htm\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Huawei Watch 1ICP5\/25\/28 HB442528EBC Battery<\/a><br>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/motorola-battery-WX30-p1775744.htm\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Moto 360 Smart Watch WX30 Battery<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine this scenario: You\u2019re sitting on your couch, minding your own business, when the second hand stops ticking.
