Yes. Timex uses a CR or lithium battery and they are notorious for not having enough power toward the end of their life to run the analog side of the watch.

Hi,

A POSITIVE RATING IS HIGHLY APPRECIABLE.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

You could send it to Timex yourself and they might fix it for free if it looks like it just unscrewed.

That spring is called COIL SPRING and it transmits the signal from the microprocessor to audio membrane fixed to caseback. This is how you hear all the beeps, alarms, e.t.c.
Examine watch movement and you should fine small hole (it can be even marked with an arrow and writing: COIL SPRING).
Fit that coil spring in to the hole and close the caseback. If you hear no sound, you fitted it in the wrong hole, so, refit the coil spring till you find the right hole and hear the beeps.

Rate, please.

i think the battery is low voltage,try to change the battery 1

No, this is not a battery issue. Anyway you will have to open your watch, because the contacts or contact springs are not stiff enough, so, you need to make them stiffer.
Do as follows:
1) Open your watch caseback
2) Extract the movement (carefully and using tweezers), do not touch dial with fingers,
3)Take small brush and lighter fluid (ZIPPO) and clean all pushbuttons in case from inside and out pushing them rapidly, then use dust blower to dry the fluid out,
4)On the movement you will see contacts corresponding to each pushbutton on the case. Use needle or sharp metal pin to clean (scrape) off any visible residue from these contacts till they are shiny.
5)Pull all contacts sligtly outwards using tweezers but be careful not to brake. This will make them stiffer.
6)Reassemble the watch and the problem should be sorted.
Do not forget to rate, please.

I fixed it but don't know exactly what I did. I think I pressed the mode (upper left) then the button on the lower right side to change the hour. But I'm not so sure. At least I didn't have to have my son do it for me.

Short out the watch again, it will work.

Press & hold set button the seconds will flash.

Press split/reset to set seconds to zero

Press mode to select hours

Press split reset to advance hour digits go through 12 hours to get to AM/PM

Press mode to select minutes


Press split reset to advance minutes

Keep repeatin the above steps to set month date day and 12/24 hour diplay

Press set when done.

Since you have changed to the newest program I cannot get in the watch program I was using to set the watch. Please help.

It's not that old, did you ask them direct? Servicing is their responsibility normally for at least 10 years. I can't find a battery with three wires either. The Garmin watches have a circular wired battery but only 2 wires.
