Question about Watches

1 Answer

The battery was changed two weeks ago. A week

The battery was changed two weeks ago. A week goes by, the alternate functions, i.e. stopwatch, alarm, another time zone doesn't function. Took watch to a different jeweler and had the battery replaced again. Operational looking, he noted no moisture and the seal was intact. The battery he removed tested strong.
Now the watch will work with all functions...so long as I hold the crown in tightly. This is not the way this is supposed to work. Also,I am able to change functions by lightly tapping on the crown.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. This watch is a Citizen titanium, WR 100, about seven years old. I think it was called the world timer.

Thank you in advance for your time.
Greg

Greg it sounds like you should take your watch to a propper watchmaker. (qualified) Most jewellers are not well educated in regard to watches and their servicing.

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.

Press LIGHT briefly and your LCD will be back lit for 5 seconds.

Press MODE to cycle through normal, alarm, dual time, and stopwatch display mode.

Hold MODE for 3 seconds to enable the radio to receive time signals. Once RC is activated, the watch will search for time signal automatically every day.
Hold LIGHT for 8 seconds to disable the RC function.
Press MODE, SET, and ADJUST simultaneously to reset the watch.

Press ADJUST while in normal mode to toggle year/time display.
Press SET while in year display to alternate Month-Day or Day-Month.

Hold SET for 2 seconds while in normal mode to cycle through world atomic radios (US/GB/DE/JP) push ADJUST to change, and SET to continue. Next the language will flash (GB/FR/DE/ES/IT). Next is DST on/off. Next, in order are hour, minute, second, year, month, day, and 12/24 Hr format.
(US only) Press SET to display timezone. The default is PA, use the ADJUST button to cycle through MO, CE, or EA as desired.

Press MODE to exit most settings.

Press ADJUST in stopwatch mode to start/stop the timer accumulatively.
Press SET to reset stopwatch to zero, or split measurements if timer is running.

Change the battery with a new CR2025 to prevent damage that low or dead batteries can cause by leaking.
Do not use solvents to clean the watch, use only a dry or water moistened cloth.
Do not use buttons when the watch is wet. Water may penetrate the watch and cause damage to it.

Removing hourly chime from a sportek watch

I know it's been a year since this question was asked, but I was trying to find the answer today and finally figured it out. I thought I would answer for someone else.

I have a sportek SP1020ZEL. Pressing mode first and then alarm did not work for me. Pressing mode first on my watch only put it into the stopwatch mode, and then pressing the alarm button is for reseting the stopwatch. So I tried it the other way around, and it worked.

First, press and HOLD the alarm button (bottom right button) and then the mode button (bottom left button). My sportek doesn't show a little bell symbol, but I noticed that with one press all the days of the week showed and when I pressed again all the days disappeared. So I waited for the hour and found that when there is no days of the week visible the hourly chime is off. I don't think this works with all sportek watches but it is worth a try. (I did not try holding all the buttons for 5 seconds).

I have a AW60448W stopwatch that I can't get the alarms to turn off.

AW60448W Stopwatch

Okay, now you have an excellent Stopwatch but don't know how to set it up. Well, I had the same problem but a friend of mine wanted one also and after I bought it for him, he being an old guy, could not read the small print that came with the Stopwatch. I have gone to the trouble of typing it up and you can benefit from this.

Now I don't expect you will send me any donation/money but if the mood strikes you, I will accept no more than $3.00 cash.

How do I turn off the hourly chime on a Wal-Mart Athletic Works stopwatch?
The way to do it is push the "light" button, then the "set" button. If the hourly chime is active, the days indicators will all be highlighted, if it's disabled, they will be turned off too. Basically it's the same as turning the alarm on/off, but instead of using the "start/stop" button, you use the "set button".

Tag Heuer CA 1211-RO Min. Hand resets to 59 Min.

Unscrew the crown and pull out halfway. Use the stopwatch buttons to advance the hand to where you want it. Then push the crown back in and screw it down. You may need to pull the crown out all the way--I cannot recall which setting controls the minute hand and which the hour hand on the stopwatch function. This has to be done every time the battery is changed.
