Battery Change for the Casio MDV-106 Duro (Marlin) Watch

Two years after I purchased a Casio Duro MDV-106 watch (sometimes call "The Marlin") on a clearance deal at a local Walmart store, it was finally time to change the battery. I had never opened up this watch before so, if you like, please join me as, for the first time, I see what's inside this case. The watch uses a Mercury-free SR626SW battery (also sold as a 377 and under other designations too). This whole task was accomplished with minimal tools and only basic watch repair/maintenance skills. I highly recommend you acquire an official case back tool for unscrewing the back cover of any watch with a screw-down case back. They're fairly easy to find online and you can often find a kit with several tools, including the proper tool for unscrewing a case back. They don't have to be expensive to do the job correctly.
As I explain in the video, if you're not confident about doing a battery change yourself then I recommend you go to an experienced jeweler or even someone who works at a dedicated watch/clock store at a shopping mall. They'll probably charge you the same price you'd pay at a jewelry counter at a local Walmart store but I suspect that the non-Walmart service will be more reliable, as you' be dealing with someone who has experience with watch maintenance on a daily basis.

The arm next to the coil can be pushed towards the coil and the battery will eject about 3 inches into the air. A 377 lasts about 3 years in that miyota movement. I agree with you that the innards of these large case quartz watches are underwhelming.

When prying something out (in this example, the battery), select and arrange your pry tool so that you're using your finger tips only. As opposed to using your shoulder or arm. The battery will still fly out due to the tension of the clips, but it'll only fly a few cm instead of a meter or two. I'd recommend inserting a small flat blade screwdriver (not your best one) and prying the battery out by slow fingertip twist action only. Once you adopt this overall concept, life gets easier. 🙂

I have replaced the Casio Duro 200 mdv 301 twice with the Sr621w battery, and it lasts about 2.5 years. Last replaced in 2014 at Casio Center. Behind the metal case, I can't find the white plastic engine cover. Is it not there or maybe the center technician forgot it was not installed again. The watch is in good condition and is on

Good video, but whenever a case back is opened it's a good idea to lubricate or maybe even replace the case back gasket. Lack of lubrication when the case back twists tight is when the gasket can rip. Lube on the case back threads also makes for a smoother fit, just sayin.

FYI - touching the battery with your fingers can leave trace fingerprints across the insulation band, thus causing leakage current. Although the added leakage current is nearly infinitesimal, so is the watch current; so it's relatively significant. Of course it varies from person to person. Some people have slimy hands and leave obvious fingerprints everywhere they go (look at their phone screen), others have less goop poring out of their skin cells (their phone screens remain clean for weeks). Anyway, not recommended to touch watch batteries (across the insulation band), nor pick them up with metal tweezers (as it shorts the battery).

Hello Greg. Here's an interesting question that you might know the answer to - considering the fact that the energy capacity of watch batteries has significantly/dramatically improved since the early-to-mid-1970's, why is it that no watch manufacturer such as Citizen, Seiko or Casio has never to this day manufactured a solar-powered and/or radio-control LED watch? The problem encountered by the Hamilton Watch Company back in 1971/1972 when they introduced the world's first LED Digital watch the Pulsar2, which was the fact that the enormous power consumption required to illuminate the digital display repeatedly would drain the watch battery completely within 2-3 months, should no longer be problematic considering the fact that modern lithium-ion watch batteries supposedly last 2-3 years! In addition, watch manufacturers could design a solar-powered/radio-control LED watch to utilize a 10-year battery like Casio's Data Bank watches!
