SOURCE: Time is slow, not accurate at TAG QUARTZ watch

Rarely but sometimes, even the jewelers batteries can be low on energy even when new.

Very unusual that an expensive watch does what you're saying.

Has the watch ever been dropped, OR does it have any noticeable scatches or scuff marks along the edges? use a magnifying glass to inspect it carefully.

if you find unusual marks or scratches, you may have been sold a bad watch too.

SOURCE: Bulova has mechanical day/date display near 3

I believe you are just outside your warranty. Its time to see a watch maker/technician about repairing the watch. Often times slowing is as easy to fix as lubricating the movement and forcing the gear train through the use of a cyclonic device. This fix takes minutes and is very cost effective. If the slowing is due t circuit board issues or a more sever gear train problem then the movement will need to be overhauled. I suggest comparing this cost to the cost of a replacement movement.

My Coifman sc0170 has stopped working , I've only worn it 6 or 7 times i bought it in March 2016 , after wearing the watch I always put it back in its box any I dears plz

I see that this is a quartz chrono. Firstly, make sure that the crown (winder) is fully pushed in. If you have had the chronograph function running all the time, this will deplete the battery quite quickly. Also, when you buy a watch, depending on where you bought it, it may have been running for some time perhaps as a display model so the battery might already be well used.
If pressing the crown in doesn't sort it, get the battery replaced. If that doesn't get the watch running then you should return it as faulty (as it was a very recent purchase). If battery replacement does get the watch going then you might want to read the manual to ensure that you're not constantly running the chrono function, which will seriously reduce the battery life..

I have a fossil 1089 and the automatic machinery stops after being placed on a table within few minutes. Is it just for show or does it charge the quartz cell.

Fossil Twist watches are somewhat odd ducks; there is no connection between the automatic watch mechanism that powers the second hand and the rest of the watch, which is powered by a battery-operated quartz movement. Unlike a Citizen Eco-Drive or Seiko Kinetic, the automatic rotor does not power or charge the electronic side of the watch in any way.

Should i pull the crown to save battery if i store my quartz watch for a few months

I don't think storing a watch with the crown out accomplishes much. That I am aware of, pulling the crown out does not break the electrical connection between the battery and the watch. At least in looking at quartz movements, I don't see any electrical apparatus that insulates the crown in any way so that it could act as a switch. I think that in quartz watches that hack, pulling the crown out mechanically disengages or interferes with the drive train, but it doesn't stop the oscillator or stepper motor from running.
With quartz movements, at least those I have seen the internals of, (most ETA and ISA designs, some Rondas, a few Seikos), pulling the crown to the setting position does one of two things:
1) On better, jeweled movements - it breaks contact between the coil and battery, thus stopping the motor. The oscilator continues to be powered, but most of the current consumption is from the motor. These pulling the crown out does save battery life. Or,

2) On cheaper non-jeweled movements - it blocks the rotation of the second hand gear, and stalls the motor. These are observable by a "twitchy" second hand when the stem is out. This method actually kills the battery faster, as a stalled electric motor draws more current.

Hi, I found on a street market a MIYOTA T241 watch in original package, also a plastic shield on the glass. Now the problem: May be the liquid of the battery destroyed any power supply wires or contacts. I...

mcdevito75 here, Once the battery leaks it destroys the quartz mechanism. Even if you find a replacement quartz, you"d need special Jewelers tools to remove and replace the quartz, even with that you could destroy the new quartz if you can find one. Best Bet, see a small watch repair shop in your area for a quartz replacement approx. $75.00

My watch ar2434 is not functioning properly. the seconds hand moves for some time and then stops. i changed the battery but the problem still persists. what could be the problem?

mcdevito75 here, The quatrz movement could need a little quartz oil or the quartz movement could be going bad, but foirst check make sure you have the correct battery and that it didn:"t work loose Return to whoever changed the battery to have it checked.

Stops running within 2hrs when I take it off. Is there a battery? Is there a manual winding mechanism. Got the watch only 1 week ago and have to set time/date every morning

This watch is described as a quartz watch so it runs off a battery.

I suggest you return it to the supplier, as it is clearly faulty.

It is rather strange though; it seems as though it doesn't like being cold! Some machines seem to have presonalities!

My watch just stopped working, i take get care of it, never even wet...is it worth trying to fix, its only about 2 years old

It definitely is worth to fix. But I suspect that all you need is just a battery replacement. Don't forget, that before you purchased your watch, it was laying on dealers shelf for no one knows how long. Battery originally is fitted at Tag Heuer's workshop in Switzerland, and nobody was replacing battery when you bought the watch, so, it may have been in the watch for a year or even more before watch was sold to you.
Rate me, plz.

It stops for a few minutes then runs well again

The problem that you have is with the watch's circuitboard. Inside this circuit board you have what is called a quartz chrystal, which transmits direct pulses to the circuit board, as for the watch to run properly. And as it is not at all possible to regulate or adjust the function of the crystal's pulses, which itself is integrated in the circuit board, there is no other way than to replace your watch's circuit board.

P.S. If you do not have the necessary watchmaker's knowledge to fix this yourself, you will have to find your nearest watch repair shop, and ask for help.
