Just replaced the battery on my Timex Move 50+. Man that was hard.
I know it could be designed to be easier to replace the battery. I'll bet you could make it so that you just unscrew the back plate and and slide the new battery into a slot.
The difficulty started with the fact that you can't remove the back plate without removing one of the straps for the band.
Then there was a tiny screw that had to be removed to remove a tiny metal holder.
I can't imagine a reason they'd make it so hard. Pressure from the watch repair union??
