My watch will work as a stopwatch but the time will not progress and I am not sure if it a battery or mechanism issue

If the stopwatch is working but the timekeeping is not accurate on your Invicta Reserve Speedway watch, there could be several possible causes for the issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check the battery: A weak or dying battery can cause timekeeping issues. Try replacing the battery with a fresh one to see if it helps.
2. Check the movement: If the battery replacement doesn't solve the issue, the movement (the internal mechanism that powers the watch) may be damaged or worn out. A professional watchmaker can diagnose the problem and repair or replace the movement if necessary.
3. Check the setting: Make sure the watch is set to the correct time and time zone. You can refer to the manual or instructions for your watch on how to set the time and time zone.
4. Magnetization: Sometimes, exposure to magnetic fields can interfere with the timekeeping of a watch. If you suspect that your watch has been exposed to a strong magnetic field, take it to a professional watchmaker for demagnetization.
5. Water damage: If your watch has been exposed to water or moisture, it can cause damage to the movement and affect the timekeeping. You can try drying out the watch and replacing the battery, but it may require professional repair.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to take your Invicta Reserve Speedway watch to a professional watchmaker for diagnosis and repair.

following order with each depression of button “C”.

* A flashing display mark indicates that the corresponding
function is in use.

- HOW TO USE THE STOPWATCH
• The stopwatch can measure up to 9 hours, 59
minutes, 59 seconds and 99 in 1¤ 100 seconds.
* Even if the stopwatch display is changed to another
while the measurement is in progress, it continues
counting properly. After the stopwatch is used,
however, be sure to reset it as the battery energy
is consumed enormously to shorten the battery
life.

1. Check the battery: Before attempting to set up your watch, make sure that the battery has not run down. If the battery is dead, you will need to have it replaced by a professional watchmaker or authorized Breitling service center.
2. Wind the watch: If the battery is not dead, you may need to wind the watch to get it started. Most Breitling watches have a self-winding mechanism, but if it has not been worn for a long time, it may need to be manually wound.
3. Set the time: Once the watch is running, you can set the time by pulling out the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) and turning it until the hands are set to the correct time. Push the crown back in when the time is set.
4. Set the date: If your watch has a date function, you can set the date by pulling the crown out to the second position and turning it until the date changes. Push the crown back in when the date is set.
5. Synchronize the time: If your watch has a chronograph function (stopwatch), you may need to synchronize the time to ensure that it is accurate. You can do this by starting the chronograph and waiting for it to complete a full revolution.

Removing batteries will nearly always put you in time set mode. Manual in the link. If that doesn't work, a new one is $18.

It sounds like there may be an issue with the movement of the second hand on your stopwatch. There are a few possible causes for this problem. One possibility is that the battery in your stopwatch may be running low and needs to be replaced. Another possibility is that there may be a problem with the mechanical movement of the stopwatch. This could be due to a loose or broken part, or it could be a result of wear and tear over time.
To troubleshoot the issue, you could try replacing the battery in the stopwatch to see if that resolves the problem. If the problem persists, you may need to have the stopwatch serviced by a professional watch repair technician. They will be able to diagnose the problem and repair or replace any faulty parts.

mcdevito75 here, Try re-setting the entire watch, re-set everything, hour, minute, day, date etc.

Push the upper button once. The stopwatch hand will freeze. Push the bottom button. Stopwatch hand should move to ZERO position. Rate me, please.

This is not common to have two different movements in one watch ( mechanical and electronic).
I'm pretty sure that the analog part is battery driven, so, no need to wind it. You may have the watch with two separate batteries, each one feeding its own movement. Check if you have this version and replace the analog watch battery.
If there is only one battery in watch, then the analog part is faulty or the battery is underpowered.
In this case you will need the help of the watchmaker.
Do not forget to rate, please.

If you appreciate me finding this answer for you then please rank this solution as "fixya" or at least "helpful" as what I have found for you will solve your problem. :-)

Easy Soultion worked for me. Believe Me I was worried only had the Seiko Sportura for a week now. My second dial for the stopwatch was re-setting to 5 seconds instead of zero. The Solution is
1. pull the Crown all the way out ( In the position you take the crown to set the time , second click ).
2. To set the minute face of stop watch , keep pressing the top button untill it is zero. To set the second needle to zero keep pressing the bottom button untill it reaches zero or where you like it to re-set each time. Depend on you.
3. Once all neddles of stopwatch are at resting postions ( usually zero) secure the crown back to its normal postion. Test your stop watch , hopefully it will go back to zero when you press the reset button. C
