Repair of battery-operated wall clock

I am thinking you need a new battery. It appears to be a battery operated watch that runs on solar power IF there is light.

How long will a Timex Solar watch last?
The solar movement functionality creates an environmentally-friendly and maintenance free timepiece that can be charged through indoor fluorescent light or outdoor sunlight. Once fully charged, the battery life can reach two months. If worn daily, there is very little chance the watch will stop.

Just fixed mine. While plugged in, depress all the buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. It should turn on and show that it is charging. The ticking will stop as well.

Hello,

What is the exact model of the watch. I have several Timex Electronic watches that might fit your description. If you pop the caseback do you see the old battery inside? Most batteries would have a reference like: CR2016.

There are two batteries in the watch. One for the digital watch and the other for the analog watch. The battery for the analog side probably needs changing but when the back is opened, you might as well change both batteries.

Thanks for contacting FixYa.
I dont know what type of TImex it is, nor how long you have had it. CR1216 is a battery.
I would send to Timex for repair or a local jeweler. I would recommend the Timex repair, You can go here for info:

Depending on when you bought your Timex, you shouldn"t need a battery just yet, your Timex came with a good battery. Look under the stem (winder) for a small piece of plastic that is not allowing the stem to go all the way down, remove that piece of plastic and push the stem down and your Timex will start. Or if your Timex has buttons, look for a tab of plastic on the back cover, this tab of plastic is keeping the battery from (ground) a complete circuit remove this tab of plastic to start your Timex. Changeing the battery while fairly easy, you"d need jewelers screwdrivers and of course the new battery, Best Bet, look for a small watch repair shop in your area for the battery change.

mcdevito75 here, Your Timex watch is most likely an Indiglo meaning light, The battery supplies power to to Quatz mechanism for time keeping and for the light. There is a very good possibility that 1 or 2 of the contacts between the battery and the Quatrz mechanism were lost during the new battery installation. While you can"t rule out that the Quartz mechanism and or the light may be wearing down, you still have to suspect the battery even a new battery, look for a small watch repair shop in your area and try another battery, let the jewler know of your watches problem so he / she can properly install the battery and ensure the contacts between the Quartz and the battery are being made.

If the watch is out of warranty, them speak to you local Timex service center (see "timex.com" for contact detals) and take advice from them.

You probibly need to have the anologe serviced. It isn't like the old days when watches had a mainspring which, when you wound it the gears would push by anything that got in the gears way because of the pressure form the mainspring. Now with quartz watche ANY little thing ( dust sooo small) will stop the gears from running. I would take the watch to a reputable watchrepair and have them check the battery. DO NOT ask them to sell you a new battery just CHECK it. If you get a new battery, it the watch probibly will run good again for about 3 weeks , and then start acting up again, because a new battery might have enough power (at first) to get by the watches problem untill it uses some energy up. But if your battery is bad that to could cause this , but that is highly doubtful that is the problem.
If you still have a problems please let me know I will be glad to assist you!

Press all the four buttons simultaneously your digital clock gets resetted. It worked for me try it out.
