Watch doesn't tick. I don't know if it is the watch not working or me doing/not doing something. Can anybody help?

I got this watch for my birthday and it wasn't working so I bought a new battery, replaced it and low and behold it STILL DOESN'T WORK!!!! Anyone with info on the HELBROS sport watch please help. I don't have the manual but the model number is CA301278BKBK. I searched online and only found one website that was not useful. P.S. if anyone owns the manual I would love to see it, as i have no clue what the features of the watch at all.

New watches that run off a battery have a small piece of plastic under the crown that breaks the power circuit for the battery
pull the crown out just a bit and remove that plastic and push the crown all the way in and it will work

Turn knob to set on "Match" Pull out crown knob. Press both buttons for 3 seconds. When you release both buttons it will beep and both hands start moving. Press either button to stop movement. Then press the top button to set the minute hand to 12 oclock. Press the bottom button to set hours to 12. Press in crown and turn to "Time" Pull out crown and set time the same way.

SOURCE: How do I adjust date of my watch bought from GAP

I think I figured it out: (Start + Reset) = toggle alarm on/off ("ALM" will display in upper left corner when alarm is on. (press Mode once) will bring you in chrono mode, where "start" button starts and stops the chrono, and "reset" button resets it back to zero (press Mode once more) will bring you to setting of time for alarm. Set the "hour" value by pressing "start" repeatedly, then press "reset" and set the "minute" value by pressing "start" repeatedly (press Mode once more) will bring you to setting of time for actual time. Reset the "Seconds" value to zero by pressing "start" button once, then press "reset" and set the "minute" value by pressing "start" repeatedly, then press "reset" and set the "hour" value by pressing "start" repeatedly (if it shows "H" in upper right corner, time will be displayed euro-style 0:00-23:59, if it shows "A" time will be displayed 12am/12pm), then press "reset" and set the "day of month" value by pressing "start" repeatedly, then press "reset" and set the "month" value (1-12) by pressing "start" repeatedly, then press "reset" and set the "day of week" value (Su-Sa) by pressing "start" repeatedly (press Mode once more) voila!

SOURCE: I need a replacement battery for an original navy

If anyone opted out to replace battery2_bing.gif in their own watch and do not know what type and size of battery is correct for replacement, just open your watch case back and reed and memorize all the writings on battery your watch allready has in it. All you can do now is to buy exactly the same replacement battery and you will never get it wrong. All that matters is the combination of letters and numbers on battery. Make is not important, so, it can be made by Casio, Maxell, Citizen, Ronda - you name it. Just make sure you are not buying some of those cheap, unknown maker batteries2_bing.gif, as they usualy lasts for about few weeks and then they are gone. Choose well known makers name and the battery will power your watch for 2-7 years, depending on each particular watch movement model. In case if you lost your original watch battery, check your watch instruction manual. If you lost both - battery and manual - then there is no other way, but to visit your nearest watch repair shop and ask for help. In your particular case I do not see the reason why you should find the battery, because any decent watchmaker has many different batteries in stock. All you have to do is to find your closest watch repair shop and ask watchmaker to replace the battery. No need at all to send it to Luminox, as this job can be done at any watch workshop with the same precision and quality. In addition you will save money for shipping and pay less for battery itself.

My fossil big tick has stopped working

Lots of possibilities. One is they put in a dead battery, don't laugh. I have seen this several times. Two, the watch has a problem other than the battery and you assumed the problem was the battery when actually it is something else. I have more but these two are the obvious. Find a watchmaker.

I have a casio 4798 model watch and the date changes at 12 instead of 24. anybody can help me? thanks

I don't know the details of your watch (I couldn't find it on their web site) but this problem commonly occurs on analogue watches, so on the assumption that this the case, the remedy is as follows:-

Wind your watch on 12 hours; this will align midnight on your watch with midnight; (you may have to re-set the date if it changes while you are doing this).

Hi i just bought a "the cannon" watch from west 49 and i don't know how to get the watch to actually start. i set the time on it but it won't start ticking. i'm wondering if it's...

Hi alec,

I see that you cannon watch is not ticking even after you have set the time.

Well after you set the time you push the knob back in once the time is set right then the watch should start ticking that instant.

If the watch is not ticking at all then it is either a damaged watch or the watch sold to you may not have batteries on it.

can you give me a model and info regarding the watch maybe we can get information or a manual about the watch for further checking before considering it to be broken.

Also if you can try calling or going back to where you purchased the watch maybe they give you details on why it will not click since you just bought it I believe they will assist you if it may need replacing.

I hope that this helps.

Have a nice day,

Watch stop ticking

mcdevito75 here, There can be many, many reasons why a watch stops ticking, Have you wound the watch?? is the watch a Quartz?? when did you have it cleaned and oiled last?? how old is the watch??. You can try this, Reset the time on your watch, at times, pulling out the stem and moveing the hands will get a watch to start ticking again, primarily in older watches. If it"s a Quartz watch the battery may be dead. I do some work on watches and I'll be glad to look at the watch for you. Contact me at [email protected] for details.

Brand new watch and second hand is not ticking. The watch has a crown and 3 buttons, the crown only pulls out one level and 1 button is mode, the other set/start/stop and third El (illuminates). Is there...

Yes, unfortunately the seconds hand, or, to be more precise, seconds wheel is faulty. There is nothing you can do yoursef as this fault requires attention and knowledge of watchmaker.
Find your nearest watch repair shop and ask for help.

Can't get new eco drive watch to start!

The Citizen Eco Drive watches use special recharchable batteries.
I started collecting a couple of watches and I noticed sometimes a jeweler replaces them with an ordinary battery. The watch will work and at the same time it will try to recharge this one until it explodes! In newer models they made it harder to use the non-rechargable ones by adding a special connector or clip to the rechargable battery types.
Okay, if you say your battery goes bad, or the watch does not run? It may have lost the charge over time. First thing to try is to leave it on the window sill so the dial is in the sun. It will start ticking, but please leave it out there for 3 days to a week. The seconds hand will tick irregularly in steps of one and two seconds, to show you it wants you to readjust the time, as it knows it has lost time. Adjust the time and it should run smoothly.
The seconds hand should run in single second steps, if it takes steps regularly, but every 3 seconds or so, it tries to tell you that its power level is going down. It will be able to continue for one or two days, but you should get it into the sun more often.
Charging the battery under a lamp is possible, however this heats up the watch and this may reduce battery life.
If you need to know more about the Eco Drive, look for detail tech manuals for all types here: http://www.citizenwatch.com/downloads/tech/tech.htm
Those are great watches as long as you remember it needs light to charge.
