Timex Expedition CR 2016 Cell LR Instructions

The Timex Expedition series of watches offers the user options for altimeters, compasses and timepieces. The Expedition series use CR 2016 cell batteries. Over time and use, the battery wears out, requiring a fresh one to be placed in the watch. Instead of taking the watch to a jeweler, save time and money and replace it yourself. The process is a shade tricky, as the screws on the watch are very small, requiring a specialized optician's screwdriver to take the housing plate off.

      Pry the housing plate up off the watch. Turn the Expedition over to allow the battery to fall out of the housing. Turn it back over again and set it down on the bench.
