Pros: If you know how to hold a screwdriver, you'd probably be fine with that tool. When local watch shop asked me almost $20 to change the battery in my Swatch watch, I almost became speechless. I came back hope and almost for 1/2 price found that device. When it arrived, it took me only few minutes to open the watch, change the battery and close it back. Bingo, job done.Tool is good, quite a few inserts included to open different type of watch. Build quality, as many people mentioned before, is good.
Cons: Better storage box would be nice, and some sort of manual (although you don't really need one), I am just trying to be a smart ass here :-)
Other Thoughts: Much cheaper than many other tools that I saw online (sometimes they were 10 times more !) I'd probably won't do DYI battery change on $2K watch :)
Bottomline: Money well spend. I'd rather buy batteries myself and change them ! This tool will save you time and money, for sure.
Pros: Exactly what I need to get the screw back off watches. The tool feels solid and looks well made.
Cons: It would be nice if there was an exact match for the slots in my watch but given the number of different watch backs I suppose it would be hard to match every watch.
Other Thoughts: I have been using long nose pliers for a number of years and often scratched the back of the watch with them. Sometimes it was difficult to get at the back without removing the band first. With this tool I can slip under the band.
Bottomline: If you do not have the time to find someone to replace the battery or do not want to pay for it then this is one tool that you need.
Pros: The tool itself is of very decent quality construction. Multiple inserts are provided to adapt the tool to most common screw-on watch backs. I purchased it mainly so that I could change my own watch batteries. It's already paid for itself in watch repair labor costs.
Cons: The adapter inserts are somewhat fragile, especially those with angular bits.
Other Thoughts: A really useful tool if you plan to work on watches. The wrench itself will last a good long time.
Bottomline: This one is superior to others sold in kits on this site.
Pros: Small and compact, was easy to open my watch with it. Kind of a pain when you first use it but once you get the pins aligned it works really good. Variety of different pins for different watch backs.
Cons: One of the holes is a hair to big and causes the bit to fall out when turned over. One of the other ones was kinda stuck, took little bit of work to get it out. The other one came out without problem, but fit right.
Other Thoughts: Alot cheaper then ones I've seen online.
Bottomline: If you're looking for something to open your watch backing, and don't want to go to a place to have them do it, then get it.
