I have a Swiss Legend Karamica Diamond watch. It has suddenly stopped working. Have now had the battery replaced twice. It works perfectly for three or four days and then stops. Any ideas?

SOURCE: I have a swiss legend swiss quarts movement watch.

mcdevito75 here, Possibly the battery is weak, (Need New Battery) or the quartz mechanism is going bad, see the repair service directory here at fixya, bottom of page click on repair service directory then watches.

SOURCE: watch has new battery but suddenly stopped.

Might need cleaning, oiling or other servicing ...

What do you think?

Thanks for your interest in FixYa.com

I suggest that your watch has an oxidized contacts and electricity can not reach the movement.
Do as folloes:
Take out the batttery,
Clean (scrape) all battery related contacts till they are shiny (use hardened steel needle for that),
Use the dust blower to get rid off any tiny dust and dirt particles after cleaning,
Refit the battery back.
Now your watch should work again.
If all written above do not help, then there is a problem with your watch and you will need the help of the watchmaker.
Do not forget to rate, please.

There are a few possible reasons why your watch is not working:

1. The battery is dead (sometimes even new watches have a dead battery in them).
2. The plastic piece between the crown and the watch case was not removed (this protects the battery from wearing down until you receive the watch).
3. You bought a watch with a damaged movement and it just will not work period so you may have to return it, exchange it, or have it repaired

Did you have the battery checked to see if it was bad a first? Take it to a Reputable watchrepair , and ask them to CHECK your battery NOT replace it. Alot of times your watch will have a mechanical problem which will make your watch look like it is o.k. once you replace the battery but, two weeks later the watch stops again because the battery has lost enough power to now stop the watch again. Also your watch may have a electrical problem which a battery will not solve the problem. The coil (the orange straight piece in the movement), or the curcit board could be bad. Always have the store check your battery because, if you ask them to change your battety they will no matter if your original battery is good or not.
