ICE watch help?
Discussion
Mini wijit was given an ICE watch for Christmas but the back has "mysteriously" come off. Try as I might, I cannot get it securely on. It looks like it has a thread, but seems to be clip on. I'm a little wary of applying too much pressure on it in case I damage the screen or rotating dial.
Is this easy to do, do I need a tool or should I just take it to a shop to sort out? I don't know of any which specialise in ICE watches.

The back pushes in, and it is tight. Make sure the black faskrt is in place around the steel vack, line the writing up with the watch face, so the tiny tab normally used to prise the back off is at one o'clock when viewed from the back. Then push.
It will clip in with a noticeable click, and takes a little pressure.

Thank you for the halp.This would appear to be the problem, there is no black thing around the back, I presume it would be like a small gasket? I can't find any online, so would you suggest just taking it to a decent shop selling ICE watches for repair?It will clip in with a noticeable click, and takes a little pressure.
If the back dropped off, it's ossible the gasket is in the box or something. You can probably buy replacements on ebay or somethgin, but I'd be tempted to take it to an Ice retailer. A new gasket can only be pennies.
The gasket doesn't really hold the back in place, though; it's more a dust seal.

Thank you kindly Mr dooful. Off to the shop it is, it could be anywhere but even if I found it I don't think I feel confident enough to fit it.The gasket doesn't really hold the back in place, though; it's more a dust seal.
Happy new year to you all.
