Is there a battery in my tag hueer professionial watch I was told it was self winding

Your watch is a self winding type and does not contain a battery.

To wind it up, swing it from side to side gently for a few minutes (this operates the self winding mechanism).

Self winding watches thrive on use and will only run for 2-3 days if not worn.

If it an automatic watch, it usually marked as such on the front or back.

To wind a self winding watch, shake it gently from side to side for a few minutes.

This type of watch thrives on use and if left off for more than 2-3 days it will stop.

I will explain from the last question asked. To get it going you have to visit your nearest watch repair shop and ask for estimate. Shop owner told you things he/she do not understand at all - self winding watches CAN NOT BE OVERWOUND, so, there is the question: are you sure this watch is self winding? I've experience of 26 years of watchmaking and have never came across Mickey Mouse watches having self winding movements. As far as I know, all MM watches are battery driven, but in case if you really have the mechanical one - you are lucky. That means there were past times when those watches were fitted with mechanical movements and now they are rarities. Even if your watch is not self winding, but is mechanical (not battery driven), visit your nearest watch repair shop and ask to check this watch out. In case if it is mechanical - pay the money and get it fixed (you will be a winner anyway). If it is battery driven - put it on your shelf where your's mother in law picture is and treat it accordingly. Rate me , plz.

Your watch is battery powered. It is NOT self winding.

You need to swing the watch backward and forward for some time (200-500 times!), to re-charge the battery.

This may take some patience!

Yes I do. Don't try to fix your watch.

My watch maker friends have told me that generally speaking, the reason most self wind mechanical watches stop is: (1) they need cleaning or (2) the screw that holds counter weight in the watch (that actually does the winding) comes unscrewed. He said most of the watches that have been worked on by the customer have lost the screw.

My advice remains have your watch looked at professionally.

Any other concerns my friend?

You only need to wind it if it were to stop ticking (this should only happen when you have it off for a few days at a time). It is an automatic watch, it winds it self automatically whenever you wear it, from the movement of your wrist.

until it begins to feel just slightly taunt,Do NOT over wind a wind-up wrist watch, if its a self winding you should just have to walk in it to wind it. here is a link to a pdf of your manual which has winding procedures, Good luck Jon click here

Yes. it's normal to hear that soft noise when winding manually as all the gears gets engaged.
I would recommend watch rotator (winder) by Wolf Designs, Module 1.7, but you can choose for yourself.

Sorry for my first comment I thought your watch is battery operated this is not ,your watch is mechanical not electronic watch. Your watch is self winding is an automatic,even you do not use its ok,nothing happen to watch..

Batteries generally last years in a watch and a mechanical wind up watch will last forever as long as it's kept well. Now there is a third choice of Kinetic watches. These work by utilizing the motion of the wearer's arm. This motion is used to store energy in the rotation of a flywheel or a coiled spring, which then drives a micromotor that drives the watches mechanism.


Hope this may help;
