Pulsar Watches & 1980-1989 Year Manufactured
..

They have a rechargeable battery in them,you'll have to go to jeweler or a watch repair store.the battery is not cheap!!! I had my wifes fixed a few years ago the battery cost $68.00,but she likes the watch so it was worth it.

I don't know if the offer is still good after two years, but take a look here.If you just want to set the time, look here.

If it's automatic and 4 years old, it's probably time for a watch overhaul. Auotmatic watches need overhauled about once every 4-5 years. It's normal for it to lose time, but 4 minutes per month may be a little extreme. So, get the watch overhauled. I would recommend Tag Heuer to overhaul it.

I would return it sounds not like a batt. problem but internal mechanical. If you have a reciept dont deal with a potential problem get a replacement.

Most likely the spring which locates at he cover hinge pin is either bent or broken.

Do not panic yet - all you need is the battery replacement.
Don't mind that the watch is less than a year old - it may laid in sellers store for a year or so and as the watches are not refitted with the brand new battery at the selling point, they may have underpwered battery much more quicker than you expected
Find your nearest watch repair shop and ask for battery replacement. Your watch will tick as brand new and will last much longer then before.

I have a Pulsar watch and on the expandable band, the casing fell off and can't get it replaced unless we take off a link...To me this was too much trouble, time and expense...I won't buy another Pulsar! Too bad cause I thought it was a beautiful watch.

I have a similar solar modle Ive had since 1995 , about 4 years ago it started loosing time and the second hand started double ticking. I sat it down out side on a cool summer day for the hole day in the bright sun and never have had a problem since. knock on wood! It was also runover by a car last year and still works good. I wont ever get ride of it. Hopefully this helps u guys out
