To maintain the warranty and ensure that you do not have any problems with the seals. It is recommended to send your watch in to an Authoriozed Polar Service Center. Doing anything else will void the warranty.

it is possible to change the battery yourself or have a watch repair place do it, but you or they will not have the vaccuum sealer to repressurize the seal, and any moisture that gets in there will do damage to the CPU. A little extra tip, when you send in your watch to polar there is a 3 month warranty on that service if anything goes wrong, and it happens quite frequently outside of the system, seen it many times.

Pulsar analog/digital watch model number 130139

Clearly, it is faulty and has some type of parasitic drain. All watch batteries should last a couple of years. My Seiko last for about 3 to 4 years. Return it to Pulsar or a repair agent for repair.

Gucci 8400m watch not working. I haven't used it for years and it only ticks when i shake it. As soon as i stop shaking it it stops working.

This watch is a swiss quartz model and runs on a small battery located inside the case.

These batteries normally only last approximately 2-3 years and then must be replaced.

You can bring the watch into any decent jewellery store and they will probably be able to replace the battery for you for less than $20 inclusive.

Here are some links to a few short videos which demonstrate the basic process of changing the battery in a watch:

Just use your mouse to click on the links, which are the underlined and highlighted text just above. This will open a new web browser page automatically for you and allow you to view the information and videos indicated.

Please comment back here to this page if you have any details to add, have any questions, have difficulty accessing the links, or just require further general assistance and I will respond as soon as I see it.

I hope that was helpful to you, good luck and take care.

I haven't worn my fossil watch (FS 4337 model) for some time & decide to wear it & shook it, adjust it, & it dosn't work. Usually when I don't wear it for about 2 weeks, I shake it...

If you have a Fossil FS4337 Chronograph, shaking the watch shouldn't be doing anything other than exercising your muscles; the movement is a battery-driven quartz movement whose movement is controlled only by whether the stem has been pulled out (stopping the movement and saving power) or whether the battery still has enough power to activate the stepping motors that move the watch hands. Based on the symptoms that you've described, I would suggest that it's probably time to change your watch battery.

Often, when a watch battery is running low but isn't completely dead, pulling the stem into time-setting mode will stop the movement and permit the battery to "rest," giving it (briefly) a bit more reserve amperage to put out when you push the stem back in. That's how you can sometimes get a quartz watch to run for a few minutes after the battery appears to be dead. That may also be why your watch has started running again after you've set the time and date.

Fossil analog quartz watches tend to use silver oxide (usually #377 or #379) batteries instead of longer-lasting lithium batteries. In ordinary use, I would expect a silver oxide battery to provide between 1 and 2 years of service before it needs to be replaced. I can't remember if Fossil chronographs (which also use quartz movements) use a silver oxide or lithium battery. Lithium batteries often provide an additional year or two of service in analog watches, compared to silver oxide cells; digital watches using them supposedly may last as long as 10 years with a lithium battery, assuming you don't use the backlight or audible alarm functions. Note, however, that these batteries are different sizes and different voltages, so you can't substitute one for the other.

Finally, none of this advice applies if you have a Fossil watch with a true mechanical movement in it. In that case, gently shaking the watch may spin the winding rotor enough to start the watch back up again. However, an even faster way of winding those watches is to use the winding / time set crown to wind the mainspring directly instead of relying on the geared-down action of the winding rotor. Automatic watches can bind up if they are not used for a period of time; the lubricating oil used in some of the pivots can harden--or at least provide enough resistance that the movement may require more initial force to start running than to continue running. That behavior usually indicates that it's time to have the mechanical movement cleaned and re-lubricated.

Brand new watch but loses time. Why

You haven't said what kind or what brand of watch you have. If it is a quartz or battery watch, it may need a new battery. Watches often sit on the shelf for long enough periods the battery may be going dead. If it is a windup style, are you winding it all the way up? If it is an automatic winding watch, Have you worn the watch subtantially long enough to get it wound? If it is a kinetic, have you worn it long enough to charge the battery fully? If it is an Eco Drive have you subjected it light long enough to charge the battery? Have you called the store?

Battery change Citizen Promaster Watch Model# C112.

mcdevito75 here, You should be able to get some help online at citizenwatchserv.com in the meantime you can try to press and hold in the MODE button, press and hold it in for a couple of seconds. Also< IO wouldn"t be surprised if the battery has to come out and installed again, same new battery just simply have it taken out and put back in, maybe some sort of re-set. Check out the website, don"t do anything till then.

I havent worn this watch for about a year the battery has 10 year warranty and was working fine.now it has stopped working.

A few watch companies...Bulova being one of them used to give a 10 year warranty but I dont know of any batteries that actually last 10 years! The average life of a 1.5 volt silver oxide battery is 2-3 years (sometimes a smidge longer) depending on the age and condition of the watch. A 3 volt lithium battery will get on average 3-4 years.

Im guessing that your battery is probably dead! :-)

Battery reads 2.85 is it dead?

I am assuming you have a lithium battery and they test good at 3. Since they can die off slowly i would replace it as it may not have enough to power your watch. These will typically need to be replaced about every two years or so.
