Changing Watch Batteries
Lots of posters ask "what is the battery in my (name of watch)" with a view to changing it yourself. This is a bad idea for many reasons. You don't have the tools or knowledge to remove a rotary screw on back, or the gasket sealant for a waterproof watch. Some fashion watches have 4 traditional screw and need professional grade jeweler screwdrivers. Also, there are about 20 batteries commonly used in watches, in various sizes and internal technology, Lithium Ion, Silver Oxide and Manganese Alkaline. If you buy them, you generally have to buy 10!
Don't sweat the details. Just take the watch to your local jeweler. They have all the batteries at hand and the tools to remove the back. It is done whilst you wait for $8 to $15!

Model numbers and battery details etc. on Pulsar watches are normally stamped on the back plate but the serial numbers can sometimes be found on the inside of the back plate.
Did you check the watch battery? Pulsar watches run a long time! If a new battery does not start it up you can take a can of air and just squirt a little in the area where the battery goes (very gently) to blow out any dirt then install the battery and put back on. If it is still not working you need to take it to your local jewelry store to have an estimate for repair, usually 60.00 to 80.00. I hope this helps!
Go to the pulsar website to see if they have a PDF file with instructions or scour Google with the Y182 etc. information. That info is the movement model number the Seiko website may also have information. Knowing the movement information may link you to instructions. Call or go to Otto Frei website, call them and they may point you to the right direction. They probably sell that movement.
