I use the countdown routinely when running a sprinkler or filling up the pond.<\/p>\n<p>Reminder on how to get the back case open and closed:<\/p>\n<p>1) Pry open back using notch marked with arrow in upper right corner using either a strong knife blade or small screwdriver. Loosen both tiny screws upper left and upper right to remove battery.<\/p>\n<p>2) Position notch opposite side of analog knob. Seal with watch between two boards in a vice grip. Slowly close vice grip and watch for back to snap in place. (May not make a sound.)<\/p>\n<p>I think this Timex has lasted longer than any other I&#8217;ve had. I remember Carol Popp liking it when I first moved from HBS to Marketing in 2002.
