Same thing happened to me, took watch to watch shop, they changed the battery and the chimes stopped working. Simple fix, the faceplate was put back on wrong. Unscrew the face plate and turn it upside down (or right side up depending on your POV) the circle on the inside of the faceplate will line up with the springs inside the watch and the chimes will start working again. If you have a pair of eyeglasses screw drivers, like I did, you can do this yourself.

    That should have read backplate, but you get the gist.

I have a timex expedition. Eventhough the battery is new, the alarm and the beep function does not work properly. I have to shake the watch to make it work

If your Timex Expedition watch alarm and beep function are not working properly, even with a new battery, it could be caused by a few different things. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the alarm settings: Make sure the alarm is turned on and set to the correct time. Also, check that the alarm is set to the correct mode, such as daily or weekly.
  2. Check the watch's manual: Refer to the instruction manual that came with your watch to see if there are any specific instructions for setting the alarm or beep function.
  3. Check the vibration function: If the vibration function of the watch is not working, it could cause the alarm and beep to not function properly. Try resetting the watch or contacting Timex for assistance.
  4. Check for physical damage: Inspect the watch for any physical damage such as a cracked or broken case, or a damaged alarm switch.
  5. Check for water damage: If the watch has been exposed to water, it could cause damage to the electronic components. If water has entered the watch, it is best to take it to a professional watch repair center for service.
  6. Check if the watch have a warranty: If the watch is still under warranty, you should contact the manufacturer for service or repair.

Timex expedition compass, alarm does not sound since battery replacement.

You will find an arrow head on the outside back of your watch where all the printing is. When you put this lid back on, this arrow needs to be aligned with a notch on the inside edge where the cover goes on. As you are looking at the watch from the back with the cover off this notch is in a northwesterly direction. If you doubt it then just hold the back on without popping it in all the way and hit your mode button to make sure that you hear the beeps again. If you do, then you've found the right spot...

I recently had my battery changed on a timex expedition adventure tech altimeter watch, now the chime doesn't work and the alarm doesn't beep. Please help. Thank you.

You can attempt to have the circuit board reset if it has an "AC". This may or may not fix the problem. Usually when a sound board goes out you have to replace the whole circuit board or movement.

No beep, no alarm, no sound at all after battery replacement and after resetting the watch. The watch is the Expedition.

I think you put case back wrong way ,, or a small spring which connect caseback with watch movement feil during battery change that also ma be a issue.

You probably lost SPRING COIL while changing battery. It connects movement to sound membrane. See watchmaker to sort this.

No sound

This solution worked for me but I also had to bend the little copper tab upward so that it made good contact with the plastic pad stuck to the inside of the back of the watch
