Replaceing battery for colibri pocket watch

It is a Colibri. Out of business. Pretty low end watches. Sounds odd though. Is it a snap on back or screw on?

remove the crown and stem

Thank you for contacting FixYa.

Place the tip of your pocket knife in the slot on the back of the watch. Pry the back off.

Take your tweezers and grasp the metal piece that is hiding the battery.

Once that metal piece is out the battery should come out too.

Put the new battery in and cover it with the metal piece.

Put the back of the watch back on and snap it into place.

Best wishes. Jewel

mcdevito75 here, This is a very common problem easily fixed, when the battery was change the repair prerson could have interfered with the seconds hand bending it ever so slightly so it hits the other hands or it became loose, return to the person who changed the battery, they"ll take the back off and fix that seconds hand. Remember this may be no ones fault so I don"t know about any extra charges for service on your watch. This is just my info to you.

No solution, but can give you information on Henry Stuart, as he is part of my family history. 1803 Liverpool - 1882 Oxton Cheshire when still described as a watchmaker. Making watches from at least 1825, in Park Lane Liverpool & later in Coventry too, but business suffered from the advent of cheap Swiss watches. Specialised in very beautiful cases, we are led to believe.

This is not common to have two different movements in one watch ( mechanical and electronic).
I'm pretty sure that the analog part is battery driven, so, no need to wind it. You may have the watch with two separate batteries, each one feeding its own movement. Check if you have this version and replace the analog watch battery.
If there is only one battery in watch, then the analog part is faulty or the battery is underpowered.
In this case you will need the help of the watchmaker.
Do not forget to rate, please.

Hi,

Go to the watch repairing shop near by your place and get it reapired.

OR let me know your address so I can provide you the repairing center near you.

Thanks.

Stephen,
Pocket watches are watches the collect dust (from the pockets they sit in) very easily, so you may have an issue here with that being the cause of why your hands are not moving as they once did. Then again, it could be VERY easily that you went to a place to have them replaced and the battery you purchased was "aged" and no longer has power enough to make the watch function properly. I would suggest that if you replaced it yourself in a place where you bought the battery and went home to put it in, go to a place where they put it in for you as they will overturn the stock much quicker. If the clerk is someone of real knowledge they will even be able to tell you "we sell a 20 of that one every week" or something of that nature. As I have suggested to others this is the time of year where quality of service for a small watch battery is much less then it will be when you go in in 5 weeks when the store is happy to see someone.
