If you pull out the crown to the 2ed postion the push the upper start button that should move the second hand up to zero then push crown in.

    While the above method did not work exactly for me, it put me on the right track. On my Bulova I needed to pull the crown to the center position and push the upper button once for every second needed to advance (in other words - if the second hand aligned to 29 seconds, I would have to push the upper button 31 times).

    I hope this helps.

My casio 5177 558d stop watch second hand is not working from one week.before a week its work works properly.time is correct and date is ok.what is cause of it that stopwatch second hand is just move on it...

It sounds like there may be an issue with the movement of the second hand on your stopwatch. There are a few possible causes for this problem. One possibility is that the battery in your stopwatch may be running low and needs to be replaced. Another possibility is that there may be a problem with the mechanical movement of the stopwatch. This could be due to a loose or broken part, or it could be a result of wear and tear over time.
To troubleshoot the issue, you could try replacing the battery in the stopwatch to see if that resolves the problem. If the problem persists, you may need to have the stopwatch serviced by a professional watch repair technician. They will be able to diagnose the problem and repair or replace any faulty parts.

I'm able to set the time and date but once i push the crown back to its original place the watch doesn't start so i push the upper bumper and the seconds begin to run nevertheless the minutes never...

your watch is chronograph,. and it is not in the picture. probably your problem is the second hand won,t move, it is because that the sub dial on the lower part it is the real second hand. the big second hand is for the stopwatch. the to sub dial on the upper sides of your watch. the upper button/bumper is to start and stop the stopwatch or the big second hand and the bottom bumper/button is to reset it. i hope this can solve the problem...

You need a hand alignment at the very least. Sounds like your sweep arm is getting stuck on other objects in the face.

Resetting stopwatch dials - Armani AR5331

When you reset the big seconds hand to zero, the hour and the minute hand are not engaged in this function, so, there is no fault with the watch movement.
Do as follows:
1) pull out crown and set the hour and minute hands at 6 o'clock (they must be lined perfectly in opposite directions)
2) push the crown in half way back (not completely)
3) push and hold the button at 2 o'clock (set the big seconds hand to zero) and release it when done
4) when big seconds hand is zeroed push the crown back in
5) pull the crown out again and set desired time
6) push the crown back in.
If all actions described do not work, you will have to visit your nearest watch repair shop and ask to refit chronograph hand as in this case it is out of balance (not pointed at exact mark).

Rate me, please.

Invicta model 3209 watch

Your watch is fitted with chronograph movement 5040D made by Ronda (Switzerland). If you take a closer look, then you will realise that the subdial at 3 o'clock is counting seconds allready. This is your seconds dial, not the big one.
The big seconds hand actually is the chronograph hand (stopwatch) and, when activated, works together with 1/10th counter.
Follow this link and see for yourself:

http://www.ronda.ch/e/index_bedienung.html

Find movement 5040D and click on INTERACTIVE version.

Using the stop watch feature

Dennis,
"Chronograph" is watch terminology for 'stop-watch'.
There are 3 small dials on the watch.  The main dial has a minute hand and an hour hand.  The big second hand on the main dial is not for the main time of the watch.  It is for measuring seconds for the stopwatch.
The 2 small dials at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock will give you minutes and 1/10 of a seconds.  
There are 2 buttons on the side of the watch. Top Button:  Start/Stop Bottom Button: Reset
To set the chronograph to its default position, you would pull out the stem to the first position and push the buttons.  Also, pull the stem out further to the 2nd position and push the buttons.

Sweep 2nd hand operation & watch time setting on my Pulsar watch.

The larger second hand on the Pulsar PF8036 is part of the stopwatch feature. The upper button starts/stops the stopwatch feature, and the lower button operates the lap/reset function. Why they made the larger hand work only with the stopwatch instead of the smaller hand to the left is beyond me, but that's how it is designed.
