Suunto core battery replacement - front bezel

Howdy everyone! Hope you had a great day. Earlier today I had the chance to replace the battery of my old Suunto Core. This watch uses CR-2032 battery which has easy user access for battery replacement. The sad thing is that my battery access is stuck.

Last battery replacement I did cost me something that made me give the watch a long rest. Just recently I thought of replacing battery through the bezel. This is what the repairman told me they would do. 

Fyi. I did not search the web for this. Ayt!

Step 1. Deep breaths! Hehehe... We need to have some tools here. We will be using tiny hex screw tool. But before having access to the screews we need to pry open the front bezel! Just use your fingernails. 

Step 2. We now have access to 4 screws. 

Step 3. Take the front glass and keep it safe. We now have access to the lcd. Just gently get access to the back. Be gentle since there is a ribbon wire attched from the lcd to the back plate of the watch. See pics before going to step 4.

Step 5. Get the old batt and replace. Do some cleaning at this part. Put everything  back in now. Position the gasket properly before putting the screws back.
