Is the digital display blinking? If it is, it would mean that the battery is weak and thus, the backlight won't work.

u can have it from internet ,go for google search

Just replaced a women's Aquaracer battery. It's a 364. Get the SR (silver oxide type) as it will last longer.

Hi.

Ensure that your model has an Alarm. Not all Tag Heuer chronographs have the alarm function. If there is alarm function, try resetting the clock by setting the hands on zero and setting time and date again (see here: User Manual ).

If there is alarm, and this does not beep when programmed, then it is not a matter of switching it on and off. The alarm is always switched on when you program the alarm time.

Weak battery can cause the problem, but the watch is new (battery lasts approx. 2 years). If you want to test a replacement battery have the job done at a Tag Heuer authorized shop. DO NOT replace the battery by yourself. Tell them that the watch is new and in warranty. If that does not fix the problem, ring immediately Tag Heuer, the watch may be defective.

Try also contacting Tag Heuer. See:Contact us - TAG Heuer.

The watch has a mechanism that changes the date once every 24 hours and it is 12 hours out.

This can be fixed by winding the watch forward 12 hours.

I haven't been able to find your watch on their web site but it sounds as though your watch is a mechanical (automatic?), if this is the case.....

The watch thinks it is midnight at midday, so wind the watch forward 12 hours.

Don't assume the battery you installed is good. Check it or replace with another.

Page 4 of the Omega manual at this link describes how to synchronise the digital and analogue displays http://www.old-omegas.com/1665en.html - works the same for Tag.

If your watch is "automatic" then would I be right in thinking you took it off for a few days and it stopped?

If this is the case (since most of the Carrera range are automatic, then the spring will have run down and needs re-winding.

You were correct in thinking that shaking it will re- start it but to keep it going you need to shake it gently from side to side for some time. (One supplier quoted 500 times!) be patient and keep wearing it.

It may have a screw down crown. Try turning the crown counterclockwise see if it unscrews. There is no other reason for it not to pull out unless someone has opened the back and removed the crown and stem then inserted it crooked and it is stuck.
If someone has done this the watch could be damaged.

Good Luck please rate 4 thumbs up and please leave a testimonial

This watch should bring between $1400 to $1600 depending on condition

This is a sign that the battery is running down and a new one needs to be fitted soon.

It is best done by a jeweler, as there can be problems doing it yourself.

I have this same exact watch with the same problem. In November of this year, my watch just stopped with an inability to autowind itself. I'm a little mad because I have babied this watch, while only wearing it on special occasions (10x). What's the problem?

Try this.

Pull the winder out fully. Then press the top right chronograph button to move the centre seconds hand on. Then push the winder back in.

on some models you should only pull the winder half way out.

good luck

For removing or adding links firstly you will have to remove bracelet pins or screws. In case if there are screw on each side of bracelet - you have to use two screwdrivers simultaneously. In case if there are pins - read the rest:
You may or may not have arrows inside bracelet. Arrows are pointing the way the pins must come out. First you have to find out what sort of pins or even screws are used to keep links together (screw ends and pin end may look similar). Examine both bracelet sides and find the side where pin ends have a groove. Start with a tiny screwdriver and try to unscrew one. If it turns, but doesn't come out, that means you have a pins instead of screws. For removing pins the best would be pin removing tool (approx.5GBP on ebay), but it's possible to do the job without it. Take a hardened steel needle and blunt the sharp end to the approx. size of pin end diameter using any sharpening stone or sandpaper. Get an old towel and fold it to make a soft base for work (like small cusion). As you don't have a special bracelet holder you will need a pair of helping hands to hold the bracelet steady upright. You will need small hammer and pair of flat nose pliers as well. NOTE: The pins MUST be driven split end out first, not vice versa. Make sure that the grooved pin ends are facing towel, not the needle and hammer. Now place the watch on the folded towel, take that needle and smallest hammer you have and start driving the pin out using light blows. Do Not hit hard, as you will brake the needle, scratch your watch or even injure yourself. Watchmakers are using 45 gram hammer, so, calculate your strength of blows. After a few punches check if the split end is coming out and when you see that the pin end is coming out long enough - grab it with pliers and pull the pin out with pliers. When pulling, do NOT turn pliers, as pins tend to brake when twisted. Use firm grip and your strength to pull the pin without twisting. After shortening the bracelet or adding extra link(s) make sure that the pins go back EXACTLY the same way as they came out- the blunt end first in the hole and the split (grooved) end last. Before doing that check remaining pins in bracelet to make sure that you put them back from the right side of bracelet. It is recommended to use plastic hammer to drive pins back in or you will scratch or damage bracelet. If plastic hammer is not available use an old toothbrush handle (or some plastic item) as an absorber. Simply put pin into the hole as deep as you can with your fingers, put the toothbrush handle on split pin end and hit handle, not the pin. Make sure that pin ends are flush with bracelet. If needed- hit few more times. Job done! If you do not want to do it yourself, any jeweler will do it in a matter of few minutes.

I have owned two Tag dive watches. They both have issues with the stem. You have to press it in very hard, then turn it counter clock wise tll it pops out, then you can set the time, which needs to be done (at least on these two) on months with different # days. If the stem won't move, place a few drops of "3 in1" oil, or even olive oil on it, give it a few minutes, dry off the outside, then try again - it always works for me. When pushing it back in, turn it clockwise. The next time you set the time, it'll be ++ easier.i
