Take Watch to Watch shop for them to fit new battery .. As you don't have original battery in your watch, you would not what type to buy if you wanted to fit it yourself.

come on just take it to any store that sells batteries and some time they will open it up and sell you and install a new battery or just ask while out shopping and you see a battery display. I have had a large dept store do it for me and did not by a battery. There is a local small jewelry store that run a $3 coupon that right a $3.00 coup they will open and remove old and install new also if all fail read instuction if you saved them and last some time on the back of thr watch it will have the battery #.

It sounds as if you have fatal fault and if it is still within the warranty period, then you should get a replacement, free of charge.

Yes, normally if a watch stopped running it needs a new battery. Well, you can bring it to the nearest watch shop in your area.

mcdevito75 here, Some quartz watches and I believe Citizen is on of which need the exact factory number battery installed / replaced. if you did use the exact battery number and the new battery is not working, remove the battery and carefully clean the battery contacts with a Q-tip and rubbibg alchohol do not soak the battery contacts just clean them. Also your new battery could be dead, who knows how long it was on the store shelf. Alaso wipe off any oil from your fingers on the new battery before you install it in the watch, make sure the battery is seated correctly in the watch, the back cover may also have to be installed back onto the watch to complete the battery circut for the watch to work. If all this fails you can try to contact Citizen online, Contact CitizenWatch.com and get their recommended battery size for your watch, OR, look for a small watch repair shop in your area. One Last thing, Your Citizen watches Quartz mechanism could also have gone bad, in this case you"ll need a new watch.

Hi,

This means it needs a new battery. But if your watch is about 5 years old it is best to have it serviced. The oils in the movement will be drying out and this causes the gear train to require more power from the battery to make it move. By drawing more power from the battery, the battery will not last as long. This shortening of the battery life continues until the watch is serviced or eventually a new battery will not get the watch to run.

All watches require regular service to stay working properly.

Hope this helps,

Yes, the flashing battery icon tells you it's time to change the battery.
Despite of that the watches are fitted with brand new batteries when they are leaving manufacturer, there can be a significant period of time till they reach their new owners and the watch battery can be flat (or allmost flat) at the selling point.
I suggest you visit sellers shop again a.s.a.p. and ask for the brand new battery to be fitted under the warranty.

Rate me, please.

If you had the battery replaced, I'm guessing that the watch wasn't working when you brought it in for a new battery. It may not have needed a new battery. You might need a new watch. I've never heard of anyone needing a clamp for a Timex digital watch. In my experience, they use phillips screws to hold the back to the case. I have a case press for snap-on backs, but that's still unusual for a Timex unless it has a BIG case. I think your watch was shot before you replaced the battery.
