I have a wenger watch which is 2 years old. Battery was replaced about 1 year ago. Now watch is not keeping correct tiome, stops and starts. Could this be the battery or a problem with the watch.

the watch movement deters which battery the watch needs it is very important you do not put a battery in that doesn't suit the watch as it can short out the circuit however you can get the correct size in a gold seal quality which should not leak, also the older the watch, the more demanding the watch becomes on the battery as the movement components start to experience wear and tear
mcdevito75 here, One year old, most likely the factory Battery and at 1 year old the battery is old, who knows how long the battery was in the watch before you bought it 1 year ago?? The battery is the first suspect. Look for a small watch repair shop in your area for a new battery first.
If your watch is a "quartz" type and you have had it for some time (a year +?), then it seems likely that the battery has expired.
If it is still within the warranty period (usually a year), then it would be unusual for the battery to have died. Contact your local service agent to discuss it if this is the case.
Batteries are best replaced by an authorised dealer, it will cost more but this will ensure that that any water resistance is retained. Replacing the battery yourself can be more difficult that it appears so you are advised to go to a service agent.
I've had the exact same problem on my Wenger Standard Issue. I tried installing a new battery, with the result being a watch that didn't move. Then it sat for 13 years. I decided to give it one last try. I installed a new battery and, again, no movement. This may sound stupid, but I pulled the stem out, installed the battery and pushed in the stem. Works fine now.
You need a new battery, as there is not enough power to move both gears. You can send it back to Wenger and get battery replaced or just pop into your nearest watch repair shop and get it replaced. It will cost you $5.oo and will be done in 10 minutes time instead of months of waiting it back from Wenger. Rate me, plz.
