I am thinking you need a new battery. It appears to be a battery operated watch that runs on solar power IF there is light.
How long will a Timex Solar watch last?
The solar movement functionality creates an environmentally-friendly and maintenance free timepiece that can be charged through indoor fluorescent light or outdoor sunlight. Once fully charged, the battery life can reach two months. If worn daily, there is very little chance the watch will stop.
The turn dial on the left side of the watch pulls out ever so slightly to loosen it so it can be turned. Adjust your time and then push it back in to set the time. You need to use your thumbnail to get under the dial to extend it. One note about your watch: since it's solar powered, you need to make sure that it gets exposed to light. Don't put it in a drawer or jewelry box, and keep in mind that in the winter when you're wearing long sleeves, the watch is not exposed to light. This will deplete your battery to the point where it will no longer charge. Since you've purchased it from Costco, the service on it is excellent. I've had mine for several years and except for the above-noted battery issue, it's been great. Had a service repair, they replaced the battery, and crystal, tightened the clasp, and it's been like new ever since. No one wants to lose their contract with Costco so the service on products they sell is always outstanding. Hope you love your watch as much as I love mine.
Chronograph is just a fancy way of saying electric clock. Like in an automobile. Most likely, in your watch, you just need to replace the battery. Take it to Walmart jewelry counter and they can care for it.
Watches, well most quartz anyway, are programmed to alert it's wearer to the fact that the battery in the watch is growing weak and needs to be replaced. There are watches that use a 2 second split and then there are those, like my Bucherer quartz that hops at 5 second intervals. Remember, just because you put a "new in the package" battery in your watch does not guarantee that it is new by way of battery power. Some batteries go completely dead while sitting on shelves waiting to be sold. For those of you that don't know, take it from a man of experience, never... ever... ever... store loose change and opened, new or used, coin or watch batteries in the same junk drawer. They will combine chemically to cook off the battery cells like a .22 rounds and pieces can fly pretty fast. Have a great day!
From your description the solar cell charges the battery and keeps it topped up. I think the rechargeable battery is the problem because when the screen goes blank the battery level drops to low and the LCD blanks out which would explain the intermittent operation of the watch. I think it is worth getting it checked out with an estimate.
CHARGE means you have to charge the watch. It depends on what type of movement you have. If it's solar powered, you need to leave your watch under the light to charge it. If it is battery powered - you haqve to buy the new battery and fit it.
Rate me,plz.
Dude, of course it stops during the night - it's a perpetual motion / kinetic watch. It doesn't have a conventional battery. When you move your arm (while wearing it), the natural motion of your arm will 'automagically' wind the watch. There's nothing wrong with it - these types of watches always have to be re-set in the morning if you don't wear it to bed (or you don't toss and turn in bed).
