Battery kit compatible with:
Kit includes:
- 1 - Battery
- 1 - Cover
- 1 - 'O-ring' Gasket.
Suunto Tip: HOW TO CHANGE A SUUNTO BATTERY
1. Insert a coin into the slot on the battery compartment cover on the backside of the Wristop (for the lrg. black covers, a NICKEL is the correct coin). NEVER USE A SCREWDRIVER. There are no threads!
2. Turn the coin counterclockwise just until it lines up with the circle marked "OPEN" alongside the cover.
3. Remove the cover. The cover will usually not pop out. Use a fingernail to pry it open but mind the O-ring. Ensure that the O ring and all surfaces are clean and dry. Do not stretch or puncture the O ring.
4. Remove the old battery carefully.
5. Place the new battery into the compartment (positive side facing up).
6. With the O ring in the correct position, replace the battery compartment cover and turn it clockwise with a coin just until it lines up with the "CLOSED" circle. DO NOT TURN PAST THIS POINT.

Good and Bad
Reviewer: Anonymous , L.A. CA

All the good you can read from the other comment. But the bad is ,I wonder why this is the only watch in the world that must has the lid replaced when you change the battery. I have many watches, and this is the only watch that got the lid have to be replaced. I think they can come up with a better design (again like the other makes did). I hope they will have upgrade lid available soon.
Replacing only the rubber ring is acceptable, since it can getting bad over the time.
The metal key that use for opening the lid quite a waste once you have it from the previous kit. Suunto can help by providing this piece once customer purchase the watch. If customer lost it, this piece can be ordered separately (not come with the kit every time). I'm sure that this can help reduce the cost for the battery kit.

I have not used it yet but wish that the need to get a battery lid due to the lid being soft and becoming damaged when changing the battery was not the case. It would be great to just get a battery locally and be done. Love the watch..

Suunto Observer Battery Kit

The kit was excellent and the service was very fast. I needed the new cover and o-ring in addition to the battery itself, in order to fully restore my watch. I first called several watch dealers, and they were useless, but then I found the right product online. I recommend this kit to any Suunto watch owner.

Suunto G6
Reviewer: Andrew Johnston , California

The battery was fine but the watch no longer works as it should once the battery is installed. The heartrate monitor does not work and the functions are working differently. I do not know how to address the issue.

observer replacement battery
Reviewer: frank oglesby , hayward, ca.

The product worked fine. The open/close arrows were a little difficult to see without magnification. Also instructions should be included. I had my owner's manual but might have had problems if I didn't. Over-all the product was fine and worked well.

Battery Replacement Kit
Reviewer: R. Gossett , New York, NY
Date: September 05, 2007
Fast efficient delivery, though at a price. So simple to install. The new cover was much appreciated, as the original had been damaged by coins. The die-cast tool also was a vast improvement over the original product. All in all, I was quite satisfied with the purchase and hope to get 18 months out of the battery. Thanks Suunto!
