What type of battery do i need for rado watch 15204673

Hi,

Please call the maker of the watch (rado) to help determine the battery type. Or you might look in the manual for the watch if one was provided. Thank you.

yes it does

Thank you for contacting FixYa.<br /> If you are opening up the back for the battery, I would HIGHLY recommend that you have done by a certified Rado Service center.<br /> They will test for watertightness, seal it properly, change o ring and crown. <br /> If you still want to risk doing yourself then follow these instructions:<br /> <b>Locate a very small tab (or recessed area) on the edge of the back cover</b>. This is the access point for removal. You can find this sometimes by running your fingernail around the back rim, as this tab or indentation can be hard to see. <br /> <li> 2<b><b class="ecxwhb">Pull out the stem, which releases the back on some watches</b>.</b> </li> <li> 3<b><b class="ecxwhb">Get a small flathead screwdriver</b> it needs to be a thin inflexible tip</b>. Use a kitchen knife as a last resort. Wrap the hand you are holding the watch with in a towel or protect your hand in some manner so you don't injure yourself if the screwdriver/knife slips. </li> <li> 4<i><b class="ecxwhb">Very carefully</i> slide the blade under the tiny metal protrusion on the back cover (or across the length of the recessed area, depending on which type of cover your watch has)</b>. Do not attempt to insert the point of the knife. Use the length of the blade. </li> <li> 5<b><b class="ecxwhb">Get under the tab or recessed area</b> and gently but firmly turn the blade upward, popping the cover off</b>. </li> <li class="ecxsteps_li ecxfinal_li"> 6<b><b class="ecxwhb">When you replace the cover, make sure you line up the stem slot on the cover with the stem of the watch</b>.</b></li> <br /> <b>If you decide to send to Rado, then follow link:</b><br /> <a href="http://www.rado.com/stores_locator/default.htm?client_request_type=2">http://www.rado.com/stores_locator/default.htm?client_request_type=2</a><br />

I read through the Rado used instructions and can find no reference to date flashing being a warning of some sort, so it looks as though it has developed a fault.

Perhaps it is a low battery warning? Changing the battery might be the cheapest first step to solving the problem.

If your watch is still within warranty, the Rado should fix or replace it free of charge, if it is out of warranty then you will have to pay for any repairs.

If it is showing the correct date, then you could always live with it!

Examine the markings on the battery. It is likely to be a 1.5-volt Silver Oxide or Alkaline battery. It doesn't matter which one you use, although the Silver Oxide battery can handle heavier energy-consuming loads, such as a multifunctional chronograph. It can be purchased from amazon, here: watch battery 1 5V silver oxide 357 SR44 SR44SW 10 pack. I hope this was helpful. Cheers

It sound like a fault. Be careful who looks at it though and what they charge - a complete new quartz movement for most watches, even fancy ones like your don't cost as much as £90 so almost all of what you are charged is labour.

I had the same problem , you need to go to a watch store and buy a watch pin to fix the band ,they should install the pin for you .

Not likely, Best to send it to us for evaluation. It's free! www.Finewatchmaking.com Donald McPherson C.W.
