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.
Many questions are posted about watches that don't run or just run for a few seconds or minutes. If it's a quartz/digital watch you need to have the battery replaced. If it's a mechanical watch - even a high end "perpetual" watch like a Rolex, you'll need to manually wind it. Self-winding, or automatic, watches have a rotor in the case that spins as your arm/wrist moves throughout the day. The motion of the rotor winds the watch. When the watch is left unworn for a day or you spend your day just reading a book or otherwise remain inactive, the watch runs down. To restart it and provide a power reserve, simply wind the watch manually by turning the crown clockwise about 40 turns. It should run fine as long as you stay active. If you don't wear the watch everyday and don't want to have to wind and reset it every time you put it on, you can buy a watch winder to keep it moving. You can find them for under $100 on ebay for basic models and for more money you will see ones that wind multiple watches and have nice decorative cases.
There are two(2) basic solutions for this problem:
1. Carefully tapped on the watch, listening to it to make sure it is ticking. Do this until the watch has run long enough to wind down the spring, then it can run on its own, or
2. Take the watch to an reputable dealer and ask for an estimate on repairing the watch. The watch usually comes back running, with an estimate price that the watch needs cleaned.
The watch will stay running, but be VERY CAREFUL not to over wind it again!
That letting the watch run is far better than turning it off.
Due to battery draining over time, and Just fact that if its not running for an extended amount of time it may not restart.
If planing to leave it inactive for extended time have the battery removed if not just let it run.
Hope this tip helps.
Have had numerous customers come in and have battery changed in a watch that was working fine. stopped the watch and the watch would not restart. (Just our humble observation).....
