Luminox sr 71 analog digital battery replacement

a mechanical part needs replacing, unless your have some form of funky split time running? replacing the battery should have reset it though.

If any battery operated watch starts losing time or displaying the incorrect time, this is usually indicative of a battery going bad and needing replacement. My Luminox 3100 started lagging in time and I noticed that the second hand would intermittently stop. I also have a Suunto Vector (Digital) wrist-top computer and the times along with the compass, altimeter, light and alarms all started to act crazy and all it happened to be was the battery being run down. Coincidentally the Suunto has a battery gage that only appears and flashes during low battery charge.
BL: Try the simplest thing first, change your battery. Please be very careful not to break the O-ring on any watch that's waterproof/resistant as this will render the protection useless. Also if your watch is still under a manufacturer or vendor's additional warranty, get them to change it as not to void your warranty. 'Hope this helps!

you can try ebay for a used one for parts only. luminoxparts.com may have one if you email them. i may have one available, i will know in a couple of days. waiting on a replacement battery for mine. if the quartz movement is bad, than i will be willing to sell it for parts.

Could be a duff battery - this does happen - even to duracell.

Try another battery - try and get a renata as was originally in the watch. Luminox usually use the Ronda swiss movement - which are pretty bulletproof movements. (i've got 2 Luminox - nice watches, prefer these of trasers)

If you don't get any joy with another new battery - send to the recommended sevice / repairer on Luminox website - prices are not that bad and you can specifiy exactly what you want done so it should not cost the earth - all prices are there to see.

I was shopping for one in Thailand and it was a GE 371. I did not replace it because they only carried the cheap china battery's.

never replace a 1.5 cell with a 3volt, it will damage the movement...and besides, replacing with a higher voltage will not make it last longer or run 'better'...it only needs 1.5volts to function properly

i agree, luninox are fairy good water resistant watches and will need to be resealed properly...take to or send to a watch service you trust...dont take to a kiosk is all I have to say

Sounds like there could be a bit of foreign material floating about inside, or the new battery was not up to scratch. Take it back for checking.

I have this same problem and sent it to Luminox and they fixed it for just the shipping.

This model is like any other analog watch, only difference is the screw-down crown...turn counter-clockwise until crown pops up...pull out 2 clicks and set time...push in 1 click to set the date, then into case completely...remember to screw down watch back into case...good luck :)
