A watch includes a watch body, a watch face attached to the watch body and having an opening, and a pointer. The pointer includes an extension portion disposed to sandwich the watch face between the extension portion and the watch body and extending from the opening to face an upper surface of the watch face, and a support portion protruding from the watch body into the upper surface of the watch face via the opening, and connected directly to the extension portion. The pointer includes a change portion formed in the extension portion to change a posture of the extension portion such that a front end of the extension portion is raised with respect to a base end of the extension portion to be apart from the watch face. The watch face is removed from the watch body along the extension portion raised by the change portion.
