I purchased a mens Fossil watch item ME1020 and one of the see thru working parts is not moving but I'm not really sure if it should since I have not ever seen another like it. There are two small circle shaped openings on the left hand side of the watch one above the second dail and one below. The one above the dial is moving but the one below is not. Should it be? I'm wondering if I have a bad piece that I should return. Thanks!
I have a Fossil Twist ME1011, basically the same idea behind the one you have. What happens is there is a weighted third-circle that is in the back of the watch behind the battery (you can't see it) that spins a spring (the spring is the bottom seethrough part that ISN"T moving!) the spring then moved the UPPER seethrough part, which in turn spins the second hand!
IF the second hand stops working, carefully take the back off the watch and you'll see the weighted third-circle that I was talking about. It should spin, and in the middle there is a tiny flat head screw. The screw can get loose, so gently tighten it and the second hand should work again!
It's fine! I have the ME1011, pretty much the same idea. If you take of the back, you can see a weighted wheel that can spin around freely. You cannot see this from the front. This weighted wheel spins as you move about, and winds up a spring located in the lower 'see through' portion of the watch, which then spins the upper see through portion that you can see moving! This in turn spins the second hand. The battery is in charge of keeping time for the minute and hour hands. IF the second hand stops working, it's probably because the screw on the back of the weighed wheel is loose. Carefully tighten it and your back in buisness!
Gosh I got the same problem!! I bought the watch about 2 weeks ago and the second hand doesn't work already!!!! Is it normal? should I take it back with the warranty?? I got even the impression that the automatic wheel isn't working well as it isn't spinning well when i turn the wrist! is it broken?
