Eventronic 16Pcs Watch Press Tool Set, Back Case Closer for Closing Watch Cover, Watch Battery Replacement Tool Kit with 18 to 50mm Circular Dials

For a professional tool this would leave a lot to be desired, however for someone just looking to fix a few watches over its lifespan this does its job well, more than worth the cost.As you can see there are many sized ends to get the perfect fit, you will need to use a micro-fiber or something else for padding though to prevent damageHinge mechanism held up fine for my repair but you can tell it is not designed for daily use.Used this to replace a scratched up crystal in a G-Shock. This plus glass was still $70 cheaper than a professional repair and over $100 cheaper than replacing the watch with an equal model.

This is a great watch press. I have about 20 watches. I tinker with them ever so often. I have to take the back off to replace batteries. The backs can be very difficult to put back on. I usually have taken them to a Jeweler he was telling me he uses a press .I looked on Amazon and found this one. It has attachments for all size watches. It is well built and I don’t think you can be the price for the quality. I have used it a couple times and had no problems. The biggest thing is to get the right press attachment for your watch. After that it’s a matter of putting enough pressure to seat the back. A great satisfying feeling for me.

A little confusing on the directions and the sizing with the watches I tried, the watches didn't really click into the face dies, they were a little wobbly, I was expecting something a little more secure. Nevertheless, with some careful effort making sure the die was was evenly spaced on the back before pressing it in, it worked perfect on a couple of Bulova watches. There was zero chance they were ever gonna go in by hand, don't even bother. I made sure the die was big enough to clear the crystal face and contact the steel bevel, used microfiber cloths on both the face and the back for a little extra protection, and pressed harder than I was comfortable with, but that's what it takes...heard the snap as it clicked into place. If you have smaller hands, it's a bit of a stretch to wrap your hands around the clamp.

The media could not be loaded. I needed this watch press because I wasn't able to to close the back of my skagen watch by hand after replacing the battery. There are other watches for which I was able to snap on the back with my hands, but Skagen's watch was giving me hard time.The press comes with 12 dyes with different diameters (18mm - 50mm). Depending upon the size of the watch you would select two dyes and screw them on the base and on the top arm of the press. The dyes are made of plastic but the press itself seems to be made of cast iron, so it is stable but not much. You would still have to be careful to not tip-over the press while applying pressure.The press also comes with an manual but it contains the details for a watch repair kit (which is not part of this item) as well as the watch press. The contents of the manual were not very helpful.The arm of the press is spring loaded it keeps the press in the open position (so that the arm of the press doesn't fall over the watch accidentally when you are setting up the watch in the press.) The spring is nice and does not require too much pressure to close it. I was able to operate the press with one hand only.There are two microfiber cloths also with the press which you can keep on the op and bottom of watch to avoid any scratches.I had purchased the watch repair kit separately (Watch Repair Tool Kit, Danibos Watch Repair Tool Set Case Opener Watch Link Remover Spring Bar Tool Set. (24pcs)) and the combined cost of the kit and this press is already cheaper than what a shop would have charged me to change the batteries for the watches I have used them with. Keep in mind that you would need other tools to open the back since this press only closes the back.HOW TO USE THE WATCH PRESSSelecting the dyesThe watch press has two screws studs on which dyes are screwed (one on bottom and one on top.) The watch is kept on the bottom dye and the top arm comes over and presses on top of the watch. I kept the front side of the watch on the bottom dye. The bottom dye I choose was big enough that the frame of the watch was resting on the dye (not the glass part.) I also chose the top dye (which presses against the back of the watch) of a size which was little smaller than the back cover, so that when the top dye comes down it presses against the cover and not the watch.Placing the watchThe press comes with two microfiber cloths to prevent any scratches. I placed one microfiber cloth on bottom dye, placed the watch on it (with its front/face resting on the bottom dye), and then placed the second microfiber cloth on top of the watch.Pressing the back coverNow this was the part I was nervous about the most. The first time I pressed the back cover, the cover did not snap in. I needed to apply more pressure. When I tried the second time the cover snapped in with a hard snapping sound. I guess with more experience you could get more comfortable with applying the pressure on the watch.SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND1. While choosing the dyes you have to make sure that the bottom dye (on which the face of the watch will rest) is big enough so that the frame of the watch is resting on it. If you choose a dye that is not big enough and only the glass part of the watch is resting on the dye, then it's very likely that when you press the top arm over the watch, the glass on the face will crack.2. Top dye should be little smaller than the back cover you are trying to snap back in. Otherwise it will simply press against the frame of the watch and not the cover.3. Before you try to snap back in the watch cover, make sure that the watch cover doesn't need to be aligned. In the inside of my watch's cover there was a small notch/dip that had to be aligned over the top of the crown stem. Just look inside the cover and make sure there are no unusual indentations on the inside of back watch cover and make sure it is aligned before you try to snap it back in.OVERALL IMPRESSIONSA watch press like this did make me nervous and there is potential of damaging your watch if things are not done correctly. It has nothing to do with the build quality of this press but it was the first time I was applying this kind of pressure to the watch. My watch was relatively inexpensive so I was okay with taking the risk. If you have an expensive watch or are working at someone else's watch then you might wanna consider getting it done in a shop. But other than this I loved this press and it snapped the back in perfectly. This is a small and lightweight press that I can operate with my one hand. I have already recouped the money hat I spent on this press.

Great watch tools set.

Product arrived on time as described and works beautifully

I have a bunch of "cheap" watches that this worked on to close the back. The watches with perfectly flat faces and backs appear closed, although not once did I hear or feel it snap in. I hesitate to "force" the handle all the way as I am unsure it would not crack the glass with too much force. The "spring" is incredibly loose, it does not seem to offer any real tension as it is fairly skinny and malleable. Not once could I exert enough force for any of the watch backs to "click", but the backs appear closed. I cannot get either of my Skagen watches to fully close. I do not know if this is because of the rounded face/metal band placement or a failure of the product. I also had to stack the bottom disks (note 2nd photo) to get the top and bottom close enough to create contact points between the top and bottom of my thin watches which is most of them. The 1st photo shows the default gap between a top and bottom disc. This is why I give it 3 stars.It isn't rocket science how to use-even with the pointless instructions enclosed as it is for other products not related to my purchase. I have also attached a pic of the "butterfly" disc..can anyone tell me what it is for?I paid $17.99 plus tax, I would say it is worth it if I paid $10 and for that would give it 4 stars. I can say that the bottom "screw" to attach the bottom disk is an actual screw and not glued. The handle seems sturdy as it is not hollow but a solid piece with a trench cut along the bottom edge. I checked all the disks and they seem to screw in straight and centered, although sometimes you need to back up and attempt again if it does not go on straight.
