The battery dies after 1 month - Skagen 590SGS Wrist Watch

Your watch is draining the charge on the battery. It is possible that you have a bad coil or circuit block that is causing the battery to die. An acceptable battery should last you at least 9 months to a year. You need to send your watch in to the manufacturer to have them fix the motor.

i would suspect it needs a new battery you only got it 2 month ago but the battery could av been in a couple of years..

try to put a new battery..whether it's only 1 mo old ypu can't tell the watch you bougth has a new battery inside.

the watch needs servicing

Best bet is to start by replacing the battery. At 8 months it'll be due for one soon anyway and a new battery may "reboot" it so it runs again. As a battery wears out it doesn't just stop, it may still maintain the display even though it stops keeping time. Also, new "e-ink" displays require no power to maintain the display 0 only to change it.

It is unusual for a battery to die so soon, (unless it has power hungry features which allow you to drain the battery (e.g. a stop watch feature).

As it it so young is it still under warranty (did you register it?). It should be returned to the maker.

RETURNED THE WATCH. UNDER WARANTY.

This usually means the battery is dying. Usually the backs on these are very tight, and the back has to be taken off to replace the battery. You might be able to get the back off without damaging the watch, but you probably will not get it back on without breaking the crystal. Best thing to do is take it to a reputable watch repair place or jewelry shop and have them replace the battery for you. Before they begin, make sure they are willing to replace the crystal for free for you if they break it!

I think there would have been a minute spring coming from the back of the watch module to the backplate of the watch - this spring carried a vibration / beep which echoed off the backplate. Chances are you have damaged this spring during battery change - as i did with my gShock. Basically it's nackered!
