Stop watch how do i start and stop.stop watch

Unscrew the crown, start the stop watch on the time signal. Stop the second hand at 12 o'clock and reset the time (taking out the back lash on the minute hand) Start the watch as the stop watch second hand hits 12. Screw down the crown. Done.

that hated they should have replaced the battery for you at least. you can go to most pharmacies, jewelers, grocery stores, ace hardware or target and ask them if they could test your battery. Radio Shack for sure has the way to test your battery. as far as the stones falling out unless this was a high end watch, I would request to speak to a manager at Macy'y.
If it is a high end watch you might have a claim with your credit card company.. best of luck .. jay

Your watch is battery powered or a 'quartz' watch. It is commonly refered to as a 'chronograph'. That is another word for stop watch.As well as telling time and the date, your watch can time how long an event lasts. For example, a horse race. You start the chronograph or stop watch when the horse starts and stop it when it crosses the finish line. When the next horse starts you need set it back to zero to time the next race.Operation is simple. The upper push button starts and stops the chronograph. Try it. Now with the chronograph stopped, push the bottom button. The hand return to the 12 o'clock position or the 'zero' position. Also notice the small dials on the dial or face of the watch. They record minutes and other increments of time. The large hand going around when you push the upper button is recording seconds. Hope this helps, Michael

Try this:
To set time and date:
1) With time and date showing, press SET.
2) Seconds ?ash. Press START/STOP to round time to nearest minute,
setting seconds to zero.
3) Press MODE. Hour ?ashes. Press START/STOP to change hour,
including AM (no symbol) and PM.
4) Press MODE. Minutes ?ash. Press START/STOP to change minutes;
hold button to scan values.
5) Press MODE. Month ?ashes. Press START/STOP to change month.
6) Press MODE. Date ?ashes. Press START/STOP to change date.
7) Press MODE. Day ?ashes. Press START/STOP to change day.
8) Press MODE. Time format ?ashes. Press START/STOP to select
12- or 24-hour time format. 12-hour format has AM/PM.
9) Press SET, at any step, to exit and save settings.
Date (day of month) appears in upper part of display in Time mode.
Press and hold START/STOP to see month and date in large digits.

This may sound obvious but it needs to be repaired by a jeweler/watch repair shop. Although it is possible that the stop watch second hand is out of sync it would usually mean that the stop watch is starting at 3 seconds before 00:00 for 57 stop. If that's the case you should be able to readjust the start/stop position by pulling the crown out to 1st or 2nd position and then pressing the stop watch start stop buttons. One press, one position. Although I am not certain of the exact sequence.
However if you are unsure or it starts at the 00:00 position you need to find a jeweler you can trust to do the work. Check out a few places and ask to see the credentials of the watch repair person then compare and make an informed decision. Don't just use the jeweler at purchase point.
Most times, if it's a simple repair, like readjusting the hands a good jeweler will do it for nothing.

Good luck

On Casio digital watches you need to cycle through the modes till you get to the chronograph (stop watch). Once there you can use the start stop button to start and stop the chronograph then use the reset button to set back to 00:00:00 when you need to start over.

The shaking is not the best way to restart the automatic watch as it puts slight strain on watch balance wheel and hairspring (most delicate part in watch).
As watch balance wheel is positioned paralel(leveled) to watch dial, you have to spin your watch back and forth a few times quite quickly.
(Imagine you are turning steering wheel in your car- thats the right motion). Before doing that wind up your watch a few times manually.
Right after doing that observe the seconds hand and if it is ticking just a little bit or ticking back and forth and then stops- your watch has jammed gear train and this is the reason why it stops.
If you don't have seconds hand- after shaking your watch listen for ticking and again- if it stops after short run, the gear train is to blame. In this case you will need watchmakers help as special skills and tools are needed to sort this out.
Do not forget to rate, please.

exact same problem, no one seems to know

pulling the crown out to position 2 and pressing button to zero it out one increment at a time is the way to do it do touch the watch hands. Works on fossil watches as well as tag watches
