I have a Luminox Mens Dive Watch and it fell from my sofa to the tile floor. The crystal cracked but it did not shatter. Also it has been stopping, but the battery is fine (checked it out). Can it be some sort of circuit out of wack? Can these two problems be fixed with a certified watch repair location and is it expensive?

It sounds like the quartz crystal may be the problem, it must vibrate at a precise frequency which is critical in controlling the exact speed and thus translate into precision time. I would get the watch checked to if it can be fixed at a reasonable price.

Take your watch to any jewelry store and they will be able to order the crystal plus install it. J.

Could be a duff battery - this does happen - even to duracell.

Try another battery - try and get a renata as was originally in the watch. Luminox usually use the Ronda swiss movement - which are pretty bulletproof movements. (i've got 2 Luminox - nice watches, prefer these of trasers)

If you don't get any joy with another new battery - send to the recommended sevice / repairer on Luminox website - prices are not that bad and you can specifiy exactly what you want done so it should not cost the earth - all prices are there to see.

Hope this helps

if the crown is stuck it is most likely rusted into the movement inside...it could also be full of dirt and pretty much stuck in place

Grab the knurled edge of the bezel and turn counter clockwise. It only moves in one direction- to the left, counter clockwise.

Take the watch to your nearest watchmaker and ask for replacement. There is no problems with replacement glasses in watch repair industry.

All types of crystals are available worldwide.
Visit your nearest watchmaker and he will be able to supply new crystal and fit it.

best bet is to contact luminox...i had to do it for mine. Even if it was a purchase from a third party, they may take care of it for free...

It was nothing more than split pins holding the links together. I pushed them out removed the links and pushed them back in.

Because of the way they work, it's quite hard for quartz movements to run consistently slow - so if you find one getting behind, it's usually a sign that it's stopping intermittently. It would do no harm to check that the crown is properly pushed in after you've reset it, but my guess is that the watch will benefit from a new battery. A.
