Elgin Watches - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

So answering this many years after you posted. But I just found my sane watch in a drawer and decided to tinker with it. The watch is only part automatic. That works the second hand. The hour and minute hand runs on a battery. It's inside and under the auto part. One screw and you work see it. Easy fix.

Question edited for a lot more clarity. Question moved from Cameras category. It should be the same as my Seiko. The pull out Crown has two or three positions. Pull crown out to 1st position (sometimes 2nd). Turning one way will alter the date and turning the other way will alter the day. Pull the Crown all the way out to adjust the time. https://www.google.com/search?q=Elgin+II+FCT002+instructions ..

• Setting an Elgin stem-set pocket watch. Pull the stem out of the crown at the 12 o'clock position of an Elgin stem-set pocket watch. Rotate the stem clockwise to move the hands to the correct hour and minute. Depress the stem and wind the crown to keep the watch running.

Do you have a model number for this watch? That would help find more information on it. Try this. Don't worry you can't damage the watch by messing with the buttons. Press and hold "Mode" for 3 seconds. One of the digital displays should start to blink. Now press the "Start/Stop" button once. It should do 1 of 2 things. Move the 'blink' to the next number or change the number on that display. If the "Start/Stop" button does one of these the "Reset" button should do the other. Pressing "Mode" again should turn off the blink and go back to the normal display.

Most automatic watches can be hand wound. The simplest answer is to wear it for a couple of days despite it not running. The everyday motion of your wrist should wind the watch as the mechanism was designed to do. Another method is to grip the watch with the face against the palm of your hand and twist your grip like your turning a door handle. Do this quickly for 30 seconds to a minute and it should give you enough to start the watch. If this doesn't work another solution to try is to push the Crown, (the button you use to correct the time), all the way IN and turn it Clockwise 30 full rotations. This should give you enough to get it going. Your last option is to invest in a "Watch Winder". This is basically a 'Posh' watch box that constantly rotates the watch when your not wearing it to maintain the winding load. Some of these can be reasonably cheap to buy but it is worth buying a decent quality one.
