Brand new watch does not run - Nixon Time Teller P A119211 Watch for Men

What brand of watch? Does it need a new battery?
If it is an expensive watch take it to the retailer.

The secret is a new battery. People are always shocked when they get a brand new watch and it isn't running. How do you know how long it was sitting on the shelf of the factory or the retailer? A battery is usually good for 1-3 years... May have just expired.

If this is a self winding watch then you will have to rotate the pendulum inside it about 200 times before it will start. The directions should show you the proper way to rotate the watch to move the internal mechanism.

sometimes when u buy a new watch they have it turned on for display try getting a new battery.

bring it back to the store where you had purchsed it. and ask for the warranty of the battery of the watch. the sub dial is for tide tracker whether it is low or high.

I have read the instruction for this watch and I am surprised how little they tell you!

The description of the watch does not say if it is automatic or battery driven so I shall give you two alternatives to try:-

1) If it is battery driven, then there may be a wedge under the winder to prevent it going into the running position (to save the battery while it is on the shelf). Pull this out and push the winder home.

2) If it is automatic, then it is mechanically driven by a spring and needs to be wound up. This is done by either turning the winding knob or gently shaking it from side to side form some minutes. Once going, such a watch needs to be worn daily to keep it running. They will normally run for 1 - 2 days before stopping when not being worn.

If you were not given instructions with your watch, you can get them from their web site http://www.bulova.com/brands/bulova/product.aspx?origin=sku&sku=96R19&brand=bulova.

Change battery. Watch can be brand new, but battery is fitted when watch left production line.

If this is brand new watch, the best way is to bring it back to the dealer to get it fixed under warranty or you will have to pay if the warranty expires. And watch repairs are quite costly.
By the way- there is no reason to panic yet, as this sort of mechanical failure happens from time to time even to brand new watches.
The reason of this can be:
1) Watch has been magnetized,
2) Watch hairspring has some dirt particles sticking onto it,
3) Hairspring can be greasy,
4) Jewel holes are not oiled properly,
5) Uneven coiling of hairspring,
6) Index hasn't been regulated properly.
I understand that all this sounds a bit too scary, but in fact it is no big deal and any decent watchmaker can fix all this quite quickly, so, do not think your watch needs a complete rebuild or similar action.
About removing that screw: There must not be any screws in the winder, but as I do understand, your watch has a screwdown crown (winder) and you have to unscrew it prior setting hands or date. Screwdown crowns are very nice feature as your watch gets very good water resistance, just don't forget to screw it back on.
Don't forget to rate, please.
