Replaced battery twice, battery dies within a week??

I have had my oceanic geo 2 for a year and a half and the battery just died. I replaced it myself and the first bAttery I put in died within as week. Fund that strange so made sure to get a lithium battery second time around and my watch is telling me the battery is low? Is this a common problem or is my watch ruined?

SOURCE: Mens Relic watch stopped working after battry change

I suggest that your watch has an oxidized contacts and electricity can not reach the movement.
Do as folloes:
Take out the batttery,
Clean (scrape) all battery related contacts till they are shiny (use hardened steel needle for that),
Use the dust blower to get rid off any tiny dust and dirt particles after cleaning,
Refit the battery back.
Now your watch should work again.
If all written above do not help, then there is a problem with your watch and you will need the help of the watchmaker.
Do not forget to rate, please.

SOURCE: beep and chime will not work

I think there would have been a minute spring coming from the back of the watch module to the backplate of the watch - this spring carried a vibration / beep which echoed off the backplate. Chances are you have damaged this spring during battery change - as i did with my gShock. Basically it's nackered!

This is my 2nd watch in 4 months and it died again? What can i do to get a watch that works.

I know how frustrating that is, I have to use pocket watches as I have medical devices that emit magnetic charges kills watches and batteries within a few hours. Always had issues as my body has always had strong electrical impulses. Avoid the battery models or try bands that keep the watch body from contacting your skin. Good luck

After changing the battery press and hold all the buttons at the same time to reset this will make the watch and battery works properly so that the battery wont drain easily. I hope I have been helped you.

Prc 200 needing battery replaced every week!!! i

Your watch is draining the charge on the battery. It is possible that you have a bad coil or circuit block that is causing the battery to die. An acceptable battery should last you at least 9 months to a year. You need to send your watch in to the manufacturer to have them fix the motor.

I just put a new battery in the Polar F4 heart rate monitor watch and it does not work. The battery died about 2 years ago and I never replaced it until now. How can I get the heart rate monitor working...

This is a common issue. The Polars and other Heart Rate monitors are not designed to be fixed by the consumers except for very specific models. These only look like watches, they are in fact mini computers and very susceptible to internal damage if not handled properly.

You need to send the unit it to a Polar Authorized Service Center to have fixed properly. There is not reset within the computer, if you had done everything correctly then it would work.

Our swiss railway wall clock runs very slow. changed batteries twice in 2 week period but it loses an hour or more per day. help! a lot of money for a clock that only worked a couple of months.

If it is within the warranty period (usually a year), then you should return it to your supplier, with an explanation of the problem.

They should replace it free of charge.

How to replaced a eco drive battery

The ECO series of Citizen's do not require battery replacement, as they are solar powered. If the watch stops due to a long period of non-use, there is a procedure in the manual as well as the Citizen website on how to get it running again. You will have to expose it to light for several hours (but not with lots of heat such as a car dash) to get it running. If you continue to have trouble, you may have a problem with the watch. I bought my wife a ladies ECO drive about 8 years ago and bought one for myself about 2 years ago and have not had a bit of problems with either. They are extremely good watches and it is nice not to have to worry about "when will the battery die?"
