If its a quatz movement - could it be that your battery needs replacing? This is a feature of my Tag 6000 so I assume yours is the same.

My omega deville ladies prestige quartz is losing time. There is no second hand on the watch and the minute hand seems to tick every 10 secs or so. It has just had a new battery replaced by omega...

Yes. The minute hand ticking every 10 seconds is normal. Losing time is either battery or a movement malfunction. Only a trained watchmaker (or presumably Omega) can determine which. Take it back to Omega

I replaced the battery in my watch. About a week later, it started getting slow. I watched it and noticed that it would tick for 2 seconds then stop for a second, tick for 2 seconds then stop for a second,...

It sounds like one of the hands is pausing as it brushes against something. It sounds like a treasured watch. I would take it to a professional watch repair shop. Mine was losing a minute or two per hour from the hand being slightly bent. Good luck!

Return the crown to position 1.



If the battery had been replaced, the central timing hand defaults to the 10 minute position. If the battery had not been replaced, the central timing hand will return to the previously set position.

    Stuck second hand

    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.

    Resetting stopwatch dials - Armani AR5331

    When you reset the big seconds hand to zero, the hour and the minute hand are not engaged in this function, so, there is no fault with the watch movement.
    Do as follows:
    1) pull out crown and set the hour and minute hands at 6 o'clock (they must be lined perfectly in opposite directions)
    2) push the crown in half way back (not completely)
    3) push and hold the button at 2 o'clock (set the big seconds hand to zero) and release it when done
    4) when big seconds hand is zeroed push the crown back in
    5) pull the crown out again and set desired time
    6) push the crown back in.
    If all actions described do not work, you will have to visit your nearest watch repair shop and ask to refit chronograph hand as in this case it is out of balance (not pointed at exact mark).

    Rate me, please.
