When changing the battery, a gold colored circular tape came off and was lost. Now when I try to replace the battery as I put it in on an angle the second hand moves, but with battery fully in place it stops. Was this anti-conductive tape? What do I do and where would it go, above or below the battery?

Lidia, see a jeweler, they can fix it good as new and will recheck other stones to make sure they are not loose.

I had the same problem - replaced the battery of my Nike Triax Fury and the time was blinking and none of the buttons were working. Turns out that you need both springs placed in the proper spot - the silver and gold springs. Both springs can be placed in their proper spot with the batter in. The gold one goes in the tiny hole near the "view" spot, and the silver spring goes year the 'cage' that holds the battery in place accross from the gold spring. Good luck.

You can just call 818-2496007 (in LA) and order any anne klein parts you need. For 10/9168 watchband, its price is about 22$.

The smaller spring is steel with gold plating. It goes into a hole that is near the outside diameter of the battery. You must remove the outer steel retainer to see the hole. Leave the other parts assembled. They will be loose at this point. When you look inside the hole you should see a gold bottom which is really a contact on the board. Insert the spring with the smaller diameter end into the hole. If you have the correct hole then the larger end of the spring will fit just perfectly. Assemble the outer steel retainer. Finish assembly.

Next time you replace the battery only remove the battery strap and leave the other parts intact. Good luck.

mcdevito75 here, Battery usually lasts 1 year and longer, even if you did change the battery yourself now, you"d forget for a year or even longer next time battery needeed to be changed, I know I did. Add to this you can easily destroy your watch with in-correct handleing. BEST BET, look for a small watch repair shop in your area for this battery change $10--$15.00 and peace of mind.

You can only go back to the supplier and explain the situation. At the price of these watches you should expect to get some product support long after the warranty runs out.

(can't help wondering why such a short warranty is offered on a mechanism that you can reasonably expect to work for many years.)

You probably need to "short out" the battery before you can set it.
To do this you need to remove the caseback and apply a tweezers to the battery and the "AC".
The AC is usually labeled and it looks like a little gold cricle near the battery in the watch. (I realize there may be more than one gold colored small circle in there, and if it's not labeled it will take trial and error.)
With the tweezers, or paperclip would work, touch the AC and the battery at the same time and hold for a few seconds, then release and repeat once more. This should get your watch reset and ready for you to set.

I have a similar model.  The electronics sometimes needs to be reset after the battery is changes.  Get a magnifying glass and look closely at the stainless frame around the battery.  There is a small AC mark and a triangle which points toward a small gold contact down in an adjacent hole.  This contact must be shorted momentarily to the + side of the battery to reset the display.  You can bend a metal paper clip to make the connection.  You may have to try several times before it resets. It should reset to 12:00 and start running.

Check to be sure the batteries that are specific to the special effects (under gold pressure plate) match the correct polarity. The top one should be "-" down and the lower one should be "+" down, but just check to be sure. You can find the polarity noted to the left of the battery and also very small at the edge of each battery slot - just look for a tiny green painted spot with polarity noted.

To reset the watch, look for the word "RESET" (lower right portion inside case) - notice there are three gold dots centered in green squares. Use either a tweezers or two pins or two small screwdrivers and touch both of the gold round dots simultaneously. That should reset the watch. Check it, if it doesn't work then try it again - two contacts at a time. I think I touched all of them in haste, but I believe it's the two matching gold dots that are the reset. Tweezer separation is almost perfect to rest the watch. That should do the trick. The batteries needed for this watch are SR626SW. Remember to put the black plastic stick on protector over the gold pressure latch that holds the two special effects batteries in place. If it's gone, cut out a piece of electrical tape and cover the gold so it doesn't come in contact with the case back.

I think that's more info than you needed, but good luck and I hope it works for you. I had to take my watch to the jeweler just to get the case closed - it was a tough one.
