New Battery but Alarm sound doesn't work

I had my battery replaced in my Timex Expedition and it seemed to be working fine. However, when I set my alarm to go off it didn't make any sound. When I pull out the alarm knob (one or two notches out), it used to beep each time. Everything else seems to be working but that!

You will find an arrow head on the outside back of your watch where all the printing is. When you put this lid back on, this arrow needs to be aligned with a notch on the inside edge where the cover goes on. As you are looking at the watch from the back with the cover off this notch is in a northwesterly direction. If you doubt it then just hold the back on without popping it in all the way and hit your mode button to make sure that you hear the beeps again. If you do, then you've found the right spot.

Make sure to put the sticker back on. I threw mine out and had to use a tape. The alrm wouldn't work until I taped it.

I have a timex expedition. Eventhough the battery is new, the alarm and the beep function does not work properly. I have to shake the watch to make it work

If your Timex Expedition watch alarm and beep function are not working properly, even with a new battery, it could be caused by a few different things. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the alarm settings: Make sure the alarm is turned on and set to the correct time. Also, check that the alarm is set to the correct mode, such as daily or weekly.
  2. Check the watch's manual: Refer to the instruction manual that came with your watch to see if there are any specific instructions for setting the alarm or beep function.
  3. Check the vibration function: If the vibration function of the watch is not working, it could cause the alarm and beep to not function properly. Try resetting the watch or contacting Timex for assistance.
  4. Check for physical damage: Inspect the watch for any physical damage such as a cracked or broken case, or a damaged alarm switch.
  5. Check for water damage: If the watch has been exposed to water, it could cause damage to the electronic components. If water has entered the watch, it is best to take it to a professional watch repair center for service.
  6. Check if the watch have a warranty: If the watch is still under warranty, you should contact the manufacturer for service or repair.

I recently had my battery changed on a timex expedition adventure tech altimeter watch, now the chime doesn't work and the alarm doesn't beep. Please help. Thank you.

You can attempt to have the circuit board reset if it has an "AC". This may or may not fix the problem. Usually when a sound board goes out you have to replace the whole circuit board or movement.

Timex Men's Digital Expedition Chrono Alarm Timer Watch battery

hi
please follow the steps to change the battery
  1. Step 1 Make sure the little arrow on the back is aimed to the right. Then, insert a small flat head screwdriver into the notch on the edge, and lever the back open. Place the back to one side.
  2. Step 2 Unscrew the clip holding the battery (if your model has a clip), and remove the battery.
  3. Step 3 Use plastic tweezers to put in a new battery. Do not directly touch the new battery. Screw the clip (if it has one) back on.
  4. Step 4 Replace the gasket that seals the watch. Then lightly coat the gasket with a silicone-based grease.
  5. Step 5 Align the back with the little arrow aimed to the right again, then carefully press the watch between two pieces of wood that are being held by a small vise, until the back seats itself.
thank you....
