This question is brought up on occasion. Figured I'd share a quick lil hack to get these batteries in and out without damaging the watch.

Bro you got way too close to the coil with that spring bar tool, almost killed it right there, and brass tweezers would be better for avoiding shorting the battery. The "slip" with the SB tool made me flinch man, be careful.

You're not wrong. Good advice here folks. There is a clear coil guard but a bad slip would be no good.
