Have this watch 90AAM0606 there is no battery is this a solar watch and if so how do you get it to work

When I did a similar thing to a Citizen solar watch, Citizen suggested to place the watch, face up, in either bright daylight or under a flourescent lamp for a few hours.
That worked.

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.

Defective watch?

Do you see a itibiti tiny solar panel in the face of the watch? If not like all watches it uses a tiny button battery

From your description the solar cell charges the battery and keeps it topped up. I think the rechargeable battery is the problem because when the screen goes blank the battery level drops to low and the LCD blanks out which would explain the intermittent operation of the watch. I think it is worth getting it checked out with an estimate.

Take the watch to the jewelers, if the rechargeable battery has failed or solar power issue, it needs to be checked out by a professional.

Check out this YouTube video which walks you through the battery change process:

DON'T FORGET TO RATE.

On the solar charge watches, they use a chargeable Lithium battery. It is NOT an off the shelf regular battery! It is best to send the watch to the factory service rep in your area for a battery change.

In many of these models the battery is using solder contacts to the circuit board. The person changing the battery will require the original spec battery, and be equiped to do surface type soldering.

When working on this watch, the factory service will change the seals and do a pressure water resistance test. The regular corner watch service store is not equiped to do this type of testing.

Normaly, the battery in solar watches should last more than 5 years. Some are going past 10 years!
