To set the date on your Croton Belagio watch, you will need to follow the steps for setting the date on your particular watch. Every watch is different, so the specific steps will depend on the make and model of your watch. Here are some general steps that you can follow to set the date on your watch:

1. Locate the stem (the button on the side of the watch) and press and hold it until the display begins to flash. This indicates that the watch is in time-setting mode.
2. Use the stem to cycle through the different settings, such as the time, day, date, and year.
3. When you reach the date setting, use the stem to adjust the value to the correct date.
4. Once you have set the date to the correct value, press the stem to exit the setting mode.

If you are unsure of how to set the date on your watch or if you are having trouble, you may want to consult the manual that came with the watch for more detailed instructions. If you do not have the manual, you may be able to find a copy online or you can try contacting Croton customer service for assistance.

Tip & How-To about Watches Changing Watch Batteries Lots of posters ask "what is the battery in my (name of watch)" with a view to changing it yourself. This is a bad idea for many reasons. You don't have the tools or knowledge to remove a rotary screw on back, or the gasket sealant for a waterproof watch. Some fashion watches have 4 traditional screw and need professional grade jeweler screwdrivers. Also, there are about 20 batteries commonly used in watches, in various sizes and internal technology, Lithium Ion, Silver Oxide and Manganese Alkaline. If you buy them, you generally have to buy 10! Don't sweat the details. Just take the watch to your local jeweler. They have all the batteries at hand and the tools to remove the back. It is done whilst you wait for $8 to $15! https://www.fixya.com/support/r27181038-changing_watch_batteries ..

yes it has two batteries, odn't worry all you have to do now is to bring it to watch service center. I hope i had helped you on this matters.

The only way to know the exact amount a new stem (wind pin) is, is to find out the type of movement that is in your watch. Typically, my husband would charge the jewelry store, $10-15.00 to replace the stem, in turn the jewelry store will double that, to make their profit. These pins are unique to the type of movement you have. hope this helps!

It sounds like you would be best served by submitting your watch for service and repair. The Croton Group website is here:

http://www.crotonwatch.com/

Move the mouse over Customer Service on the menu bar; select Online Repair Portal from the drop down menu. You need to follow the instructions as set out. You should also read the information under Warranty and Instruction also found under the same drop down menu.

Hi,

There could be many reasons for the same. Few of them are as follows :-

1. A problem in the circuitry which makes the battery to dissipate energy at a very quick rate.
2. If there is any dust or dirt on the contact points.
3. Use of cheap batteries.


These are the only possible reasons for the same.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

mcdevito75 here, Croton, a high quality watch, Best Bet is to look for a small watch repair shop in your area for the battery change, these quartz movements can easily be destroyed with mis-handleing and anyway a battery lasts at least 1 year.

Go to http://www.crotonwatch.com/ and click on "collections" menu and choose "watches".
You will see all the watches that they make which may include the one you want.

Whem you find the watch you want, click on the picture and there will be details and "retailer search".

mcdevito75 here, Here is Croton"s Contact information, 800-443-7639 9 AM 6 PM EST.

The web site is not very informative on some of their watches and only refers to their models by numbers, not names.

If yours says "quartz" then it is an electronic watch.

If you go to their web site http://www.crotonwatch.com/ and select "collections", you will see a number of watches. If yours is shown, then doule click on the illustration and more details will appear.

In the first position (closest to the case but not screwed down if it's a screwdown crown) wind the crown clockwise about 40 turns and it should run fine. The automatic winding system relies on wrist movement to spin a weighted rotor that winds the watch. When you're not wearing the watch or not moving much when you do have it on, it will run down and you have to manually wind it to get it going again. If you wear it everyday and are reasonably active you may never have to wind it but take it off for a day and you will.

yes

Yes there is. If you do not have any instructions, you can get them from their web site "timex.com".

At the bottom of the screen is a tab marked "product/downloads" , click on this to go to the instruction download page.

You can download the user instructions by going to their web site "croton.com".
Select "customer service" from the menu at the bottom of the screen,

Select "warranty and instructions" from the menu.

Move the slider on the right hand side of the screen down to the bottom and click on the icon.

A generic set of instructions will appear for their watches.

There are a few possible reasons why your watch is not working:

1. The battery is dead (sometimes even new watches have a dead battery in them).
2. The plastic piece between the crown and the watch case was not removed (this protects the battery from wearing down until you receive the watch).
3. You bought a watch with a damaged movement and it just will not work period so you may have to return it, exchange it, or have it repaired

These are the 3 reasons why your watch could not be working. The reason will fall into one of these 3 categories, so I hope this helps!

I had the same problem & called Croton. If the band has arrows on the underside of the band they are pins that are pushed in. If that is the case, just find something like a punch small enough, or very pointy, and tap the pins out in the direction of the arrows underneath the band. If there are no arrows on the underside of the bands, then the pins might be threaded & screwed in.
