Cant keep time

I have replaced the battery and the watch seems to stop or slow down especially when i am wearing it????
any suggestions

  • Frommers Oct 18, 2008

    Every Timex watch I have ever bought slows down and/or stops while I wear it. This doesn't happen when I don't wear it. I have changed batteries, returned watches and gotten new ones. This seems so bizarre. Any ideas? It only seems to happen with Timex watches! It has never happened with another brand.

There is adjustment for that inside of watch or it just may need a little cleaning inside recommend take to jeweler and have serviced if you want to try cleaning at home simply take off back cover and clean with a little cigarette lighter fluid put little bit in wash around and drainout (do not soak) allow excess to evaporate out and replace battery and cover hope this helps

I didn't wear my Michele CSX 36 w/ diamond watch for a few days..When I went to put it on the time was wrong. So I tried to correct it and now it has not kept accurate time w/in a 24 hr period. Fo

I am pretty 100 percent sure that Michele CSX 36 diamonds only comes with a swiss quartz movement not an automatic movement.
So the problem seems to be that the battery is dying and need to be replaced. Stopping and going is usually a sign of a battery dying in a swiss quartz movement.
So it should be nothing major and just a battery.

My Seiko SNA548 Coutura watch slows down. I replaced the battery and it still slows down especially during cold weather. Could it be the the lubricants in the watch are causing the problem?

isnt that model kinetic? if so, if you arent doing about four minutes of aerobic activity in the course of the day, it will go dead. if for some reason you cant (or dont) get much activity, take the ****** off and shake it for a while

I have replaced the batery several times and the watch does not keep time and stops.Lucien Piccard 26489

mcdevito75 Here, hopefully you didn"t buy the batteries all from the same store, as watch batteries and all batteries have a shelf life of not too long. You may have bought weak batteries if all were bought from the same store, nothing to do about that as who knows the strength of packaged batteries. If you did buy all the batteries from one store, try another store and buy another battery, If the watch still stops and goes, your watch may be wearing out, specially if the watch is over 10 years old.

IT IS AN ORVIS AUTOMATIC AND IT STARTS AND STOPS AND DOESN'T KEEP CORRECT TIME.

Thank you for contacting FixYa.
When you first receive your automatic watch, you must give the watch an initial pre-wind. If you wear it everyday, it will continue to wind itself on your wrist when you move around and walk. If you stop wearing it for more than approximately 2 days, the watch will need to be reset, but will then automatically wind itself once you start wearing it again. The disadvantage to this is pretty clear. Your watch does not t keep time if you do not wear it constantly. The advantages are that you will never have to replace a battery, the watch keeps great time when it is running, and most of all, this type of movement is exactly what the originals use! If your Automatic is losing or gaining time in a 24-hour period the watch needs to be adjusted. All of our automatics have an adjustment screw on the movement just like the originals. Any local jeweler can service these watches.
Best regards! Jewel

How do you know when the battery is low or flat

My watch has a similar issue recently. The light stopped working and I thought the watch was faulty but it was the battery was too low. Changed the battery and it started working again like a charm. Hope this helps!

Watch goes slow when wearing it but keeps time when not wearing it Because I started having a problem with an old reliable Acqua quartz analog watch running slow,  I replaced it with a new Timex quartz...

There is nothing wrong with your watch. Probably it's the one measuring heart rate and pulse (heart beats per second).
Use your users manual to set the watch.
By the way: Timex is one of the worst watch producers.

How do I adjust my time

hi friend,
i think your rolex watch must be a automatic one. this kind of watch, you don't need to put battery, after in full power, i can last 24-48 hours. if you wear it, it will not stop, but if you don't wear it for long time, it will stop automatic. to adjust the time, you just need to wind the crown counterclockwise, and then pull out the crown, and then you will hear the sound of "click" and then find the right position, and then wind the crown to change the date. please note that the date have to change from small number to big number. after adjust it, you have to screw down the crown to a good water proof capability.

Wrong time

Your watch is an automatic watch which means it winds itself as long as you are wearing it. If you don't wear it for several days it will stop working. To solve this situation buy an automatic watch winder to keep your watch in while you are not wearing it and it will keep the correct time.

New watch

Just wear it for a few hours. It draws power from the natural motion of your wrist as you move around like normal. It should start up in a few hours and you'll just need to reset the time.

The watch stopped working

The Tag Heur repair center says an automatic watch must go through an "initiation" process. They recommend winding manually 40 revolution of the crown clockwise. You must wear an automatic watch at least eight hours per day. Repat the initiation if the watch is not worn for 20 hours or so.
