How to change the battery on the Ronstan ‘Clearstart’ 50mm watch

Please note this is done at the users own risk, if you are not comfortable changing the battery, please take the watch to a qualified watch maker.

Tools required:
•    1.5mm cross headed screwdriver
•    Small tweezers
•    A new battery CR2032

Process.

1.    Note on the back the 4 no. small cross headed screws that hold the backplate.  Also note the orientation of the back plate to the watch.
2.    Remove the 4 no. screws and pick out the metal back plate and place to one side.
3.    Note that a very thin rubber gasket will be attached to the back plate in a small grove when the back plate is removed.  Keep this rubber gasket in place.
4.    A white sticker will cover the battery top cover. Do not remove this, but remove the small crossed headed screw as shown by the arrow / text on the sticker and remove from the hole the screw with the use of the tweezers. Note: this screw is smaller than the cover screws.
5.    Lift with the tweezers the battery top cover to revel the small CR2032 battery.
6.    Pull out the battery and note the orientation of the battery positive side + up.
7.    Replace the battery + side up
8.    Replace the battery cover and relocate the small battery retaining screw and tighten.
9.    Replace the back plate cover complete with rubber gasket and re-attach with the 4 no. small screws and tighten.
10.    The watch will now be showing the factory reset 12:00 time and the date will be reset to 2013.
11.    Follow the manufactures instructions to reset the time and date.

    Be wary. Not as great as it first appears.

    My watch gained about 30 seconds each week which I considered to be unacceptable. Research suggests that digital quartz watches should be accurate to +/- 1 second per day. When I complained, the manufacturer said the following

    "This amount of time is not really a warranty issue as all time pieces loose time. It will more than likely happen again if you have another watch."

    I sent it back and got a full refund.

    You also need to know that switching from normal time to countdown is very awkward as you have to press two small buttons simultaneously.

    I wouldn't buy one of these again

    As a weekly laser sailor my watches seem to die pretty quickly, but not this ClearStart. Durable design, digits are easy to see and the buttons easy to press as that 5 & 4min gun to sync in on the start goes off. Beeps are easily heard and increase as the sequence counts down to 1min & Start. I find this watch quite comfortable and as such I've started wearing to the office during the week. The only con is that I don't think you can set the 5/4/1/0 start out further than 5mins so you cant sync to earlier division starts and thus you need to do the start gun sync while on the water negotiating your 5/4/1/0 start.
