Luminox 0200 stopped working

a mechanical part needs replacing, unless your have some form of funky split time running? replacing the battery should have reset it though.

If any battery operated watch starts losing time or displaying the incorrect time, this is usually indicative of a battery going bad and needing replacement. My Luminox 3100 started lagging in time and I noticed that the second hand would intermittently stop. I also have a Suunto Vector (Digital) wrist-top computer and the times along with the compass, altimeter, light and alarms all started to act crazy and all it happened to be was the battery being run down. Coincidentally the Suunto has a battery gage that only appears and flashes during low battery charge.
BL: Try the simplest thing first, change your battery. Please be very careful not to break the O-ring on any watch that's waterproof/resistant as this will render the protection useless. Also if your watch is still under a manufacturer or vendor's additional warranty, get them to change it as not to void your warranty. 'Hope this helps!

Generally after two years power cell life will over.
> are your replaced same battery? check the voltage of power cell _1.5V
> Observe that seconds needle giving any jerks? if its trying to move its overhaul faulty, give it to good service center for overhaul.
> If its not at all moving at all it might be coil or PCB faulty..

Thanks for contacting us at FixYa. Yup, its the battery. Good call. Best regards.

Try this page and get the manual, its free just decline the newsletter..the movement is an ETA 251.471 and these are the setting instructions...good luck :)

Could be a duff battery - this does happen - even to duracell.

Try another battery - try and get a renata as was originally in the watch. Luminox usually use the Ronda swiss movement - which are pretty bulletproof movements. (i've got 2 Luminox - nice watches, prefer these of trasers)

If you don't get any joy with another new battery - send to the recommended sevice / repairer on Luminox website - prices are not that bad and you can specifiy exactly what you want done so it should not cost the earth - all prices are there to see.

It is very possible that the battery is old. They sit in the stores for a while before selling. Good brands of batteries are recommended but not a guarantee of a fresh one. Batteries can be poorly made, lack a proper charge, etc. from the store. I have installed three batteries before on the same watch before finding one that worked. I sometimes have bad luck. I buy batteries in bulk and replace as necessary now.

Sounds like there could be a bit of foreign material floating about inside, or the new battery was not up to scratch. Take it back for checking.

No real way to clean it yourself, you need to take it to a professional who can diassemble it, clean it then reseal...unfortunately that takes tools and the knowledge...dont try at home, if its gotten wet, it WILL need to be taken apart and worked on.

Because of the way they work, it's quite hard for quartz movements to run consistently slow - so if you find one getting behind, it's usually a sign that it's stopping intermittently. It would do no harm to check that the crown is properly pushed in after you've reset it, but my guess is that the watch will benefit from a new battery. A.
