Purchased a new pulsar chrono as a gift, the battery was dead, since found out low charge batteries are placed in new watches to check functions but they recommend the battery be change. Problem is, battery was changed, watch runs for about 5 hours then stops. If you pull out the crown and push it back the watch will run again. What do you think?

Clearly, it is faulty and has some type of parasitic drain. All watch batteries should last a couple of years. My Seiko last for about 3 to 4 years. Return it to Pulsar or a repair agent for repair.
sadly, if the battery is indeed dead, it's time for a new watch. the cost to replace the battery will be the same as buying another one off ebay, pawnshop, craigslist etc.
It is possible that the battery is dead even if the watch is new. The watch may have sat on the store shelf for years draining down the battery before it was purchased.
Perhaps it didn't even come with a battery installed although that would be more unusual.
Occasionally a new watch will have its battery installed, but wrapped with a plastic strip or cover over the terminals to prevent it discharging while in the store.
Either way, you will have to remove the back cover to check. You can do this yourself or you can bring it to any jewellery store and have them do it. They don't usually charge any more than $10 parts and labour to change the battery in a watch.
Here are a few Youtube videos on how to replace the battery on similar watches and a review:

I had the same issue. After installing the battery and trying to calibrate several times... to no avail.I tried pressing the T button, keeping it pressed down and then install the battery. It give you a mode or function setting ( I'm not sure what it means). i then press the T button and it cycles through these mode setting. I synchronized the hands and then was able to get the: altimeter, compass, meteo, date and time working. The temp, chrono still doesn't work.
I think getting all the functions to work, depends on the mode setting... but i don't know the correct setting.
1, Watch movement required overhaul
2, Circuit or coil warn out
3, Battery connection are not on right place
4, Test new battery to check its strength
If watch has only battery cover on the back and does not has backcase
like most of swatch watches are then watch can not be overhaul.
hope this information is helpful
