I have a 1970 Memovox that has exactly this problem. We bought it for my Dad and my Mum gave it to me when he died a year later. The watch has spent more time being repaired than working. LeCoultre "fixed" it the first time and it promptly starting running fast again. Then several small watch makers all claimed to have fixed it -but every time the same problem. It has been claimed by these people that oil gets on the spring and shortens it hence the watch runs fast - I reckon about double speed. The solution? Buy a knock-off in asia - it'll run on time for years without the battery going dead, and cost one thousandth of the manufacturer's price.

I can't set the date on my watch - right now I have to scroll through the time setting mechanism hour by hour and day by day?
The date changes around midnight and you can usually advance the date by going past midnight until the date changes and then turning the watch backward to a time shortly before midnight and then winding it forward again.

How far back you need to go you will have to find by experiment but it should not be very far.

It was running too fast, so I had to frequently reset the time. Eventually the winding stem quit responding. I took it in to a jeweler who sent it out allegedly to a watch repairman. They've had it now...
Thanks for contacting FIxYa.
It would not be surprising to have to go overseas for parts and for it to take this long.
IF you can get back, I would try. Then I would send direct to Seiko as they should have the correct parts needed.

Hopefully that is of some help to you. Best regards. Jewel

mcdevito75 here, Sounds like you need the watch serviced, specially if not so in 2 years. Check the repair service directory here at Fix Ya, bottom of the page click on repair service directory then watches.

Problems with setting the date on this watch
mcdevito75 here, It does seem to be a hard way to set the date. I would imagine to you have stem and not buttons, Try this slip your fingernail just under the stem (winder) and lift the stem to it"s first position, now turn the stem either toward or away from you to change the date easily.

TAG watch is running fast
You need to find a qualified watchmaker to correct this problem.

If the movement was replaced twice the same problem would not be happening again and again unless there is something you are doing that puts the watch in some kind of field to magnetize it or the place you took it to did not really do anything.

My guess is they did not do anything since you say they oiled the crystals. Just oiling a watch will not solve this problem. A qualified watchmaker would know this.

Hope this helps,

Ken

Ar4217 runs fast now stopped
I have never had a watch that ran as poorly as yours seem to be doing. You have a lemon orchard!

Perhaps if you contact the maker they might take pity on you and offer you a replacement. http://store.emporioarmaniwatches.com/ Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the contact address.

My watch runs too fast: adds appr. 1 minute every 24 hours
That is way too fast for a Seiko Kinetic. There is no adjustment to slow it down. With time of course it might run slower as the gears get dirty. Maybe Seiko will replace the movement, worth asking

Eddie bauer watch runs slow
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!
