Most likely the watch was damaged when the battery was installed. Quartz watches have fragile parts in them. The coils for instance are made of wire thinner than the hair on your head. It takes almost nothing to damage these wires and the coil. Dirt is a big problem. Since a quartz watch has no force behind the gear train the smallest particle of dirt can stop a quartz watch.

Either your watch will need a cleaning or damaged parts will need replacing.

A qualified watchmaker can do this work and get your watch back in working order for you.

Hello. I have a Seiko 7t62 ojpo chronograph. The small second hand will run for about 20 minutes then stops. As a result, the main minute and hour hands stop working. Everything else works. Any ideas?

You have a fairly premium watch and some versions are more premium than others. Your watch clearly needs attention and that should be entrusted to a Seiko dealer or to the manufacturer. Once the case has been opened the sealing must be retested to ensure it meets specification. If this isn't done as part of the repair or service or battery fitting there is little point in having a watch with such a high specification.

My Seiko railroad approved bracelet solar power watch stopped, how do I get it running

the advice is to buy a new one, no one is fitting the batteries to these, due to the high part cost.
even if it's in warranty, seiko just send a new watch out.

Can I change the battery on a Seiko Presage SUY055 ? If so, how?

I brought mine to a local jeweler. Very inexpensive and no worries about breaking the watch or losing a piece. He only charged me for the battery. A few bucks and well worth it. I need a new band for mine now. Called Seiko in NJ. The style is no longer made and they want me to mail it in to the discontinued parts dept to see what they may have to fit. I'm nervous about sending it but don't see another option. I Love this watch and the soft comfortable band

Seiko SNA413P1 second hand not on 0 exactly

It is probably the way the second hand was placed onto the watch when the watch was put together. The hand will only move in a set interval so if it's "off" you cannot fix it unless you have someone take the watch apart. I would not worry about it being a fake because honestly Sekio watches are not expensive enough to fake. Here's a good rule of thumb, if the watch cost under $1000 then it is probably not going to be something that people will make a counterfeit model of. Finding a "fake" Seiko, Citize, Bulova, or any mid-level watch is not likely.

I have a seiko flight watch, unknown of the model, second hand doesn't reset

I guess the blue faced SEIKO is a Flightmaster (Model: 7T92- OCFO)and it is a great watch. This is a common problem with most chronographs and this happens due to misalignment with usage.

All you need to do is pull out the locking crown all the way out (2nd Step) as if setting time. and then press and hold the top / left button and at first the milli seconds hand resets. after which you have to press the borrom / right button to move the seconds hand in to place. and then reset the time and lock the crown. You can repeat this for Milli Seconds, Seconds, Minutes & hours hands.
Hope this helps,

Seiko watch stuck crown

The crown maybe a screwdown type. Try unscrewing (like jar lid)them pulling out the crown.
