[Repair Question] Non-Chinese watch tool kit? (alien.top)

What is a good watch kit that is not Chinese? This would be for battery replacement. I think I can get away with needle nose pliers but I do have low profile minimalist watches that have a slot for the back case.

So I will need a watch press, right? How can I pop the case out?

Just buy the individual tools you need. Bergeon and Horotec are quality brands. To change a battery, you’ll need a tool to open the particular type of case back, and maybe a plastic spudger to pop the battery out.

Is a watch press necessary to pop it back in place? I have a Fossil fs5459

No. Just press it on with your hand.
