Watch loses time

Sorry but I have no idea what brand of battery these are or if that is unusual for this model watch to use so much power. Use name brand batteries only. Duracell is the best for long life.

Make sure the battery is placed underneath the small copper clip (positive lead) inside, else the circuit isn't complete. It's pretty easy to clothes the battery casing with it above the lead and not even notice it.

If it is not a feature built in to the watch to save power when it needs winding, I would say it has a bad gear wheel inside.
I would go here, join, and ask in the Rolex Forum,

These guys are really knowledgeable.

You have to change battery. 3 years was a quite long service time for one battery. After replacement your watch will work as brand new. Rate me, plz.

bad movement, get a refund or replace the watch

go to the Timex web site "timex.com".

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select "manuals/downloads."

Select "Product manuals downloads"

Enter you model number in the search box.

Choose your download from the list.

that happened to me too...the watch repair man told me that I had the stop watch on. The stop watch should serve as a stop watch, not the second hand. The second time on your watch is the small dial at the bottom middle of the face. Once I turned off the stop watch feature, my battery life is fine...I have not had to change my battery in over 2 years now. HOpe this helps.

I was just gifted an old casio pathfinder model 1675 with the manual.

when inserting a new battery.....step #4

AC (AC CLEAR) touch the AC contact and the battery +(positive) side with metal tweezers for about two seconds.
Contacting the AC (all clear)is necessary when a new battery is installed to clear the previous memory to avoid erratic display..
I am going to get a new battery for it soon I want to play with it....and figure out how navigate through the functions.

oh yah......the pictures are extremly small but the AC contact point is apparently marked? inside the case obviously next to the battery close enough for the needle nose tweezers to reach each contact. I havent unscrewed my case yet, I want to have everything I need at hand like the battery before I dive into this thing. I dont mean to dumb it down, I was trying to keep it simple as the manual is 55 pages and a little confusing. I hope this helps the battery problem. I will try to delve into the reset problem from the other post..each function appears to have a reset option ......maybe crack the case open and try the new battery all clear thing with tweezers...maybe this would reboot so to speak the entire watch , being mine does not work and have only had it in hand for two hours I am pretty clueless, I was looking for how much the watch costs...i didnt relize it was a fairly old model, the new ones with the compass look very cool. anyhow goodluck
