Changing out the crown on a Michele Urban Mini

Take the back off the watch, the battery has a number on it.

This takes some special tools to do. Take it to your near by Jewler and they can do it for you for Next to nothing.

Hey, I am having the same issue. After a few hours, time stops but if i pull out the crown and push back in, I'm back in business, but after a few hours same thing. Make since the stop watch is on and i am having the worst time figuring out how to turn it off. The chronograph instructions for the Deco are not easy to understand.

You don't say if your "CSX" is a battery powered watch or a mechanical or windup type watch. The solution for a mechanical watch is take it to a watchmaker. If it is a battery powered watch you may be able to do it yourself. Not all work the same way so without knowing what a "CSX" is I will give you one way to try. Pull the crown out two clicksHold the lower button in until a hand moves.You have now selected that hand to adjustUsing the upper button now, press and adjust the hand until it lines up with 12Now hold the lower button againAnother hand should moveUse the upper button to adjust this hand to the 12 positioncontinue this until all the hands line up with 12Press the crown in and press the upper button,the chronograph hands should startPress the upper button again and they should startPress the lower button and they should all go to the 12 o'clock position

Any watch repair shop will usually do it for free or under 5 dollars. You can do it yourself with care and very small set of screwdrivers which are probably about 10 to 20 dollars at any department store. I recommend a shop, and they can usually do that for you in less than 10 minutes

On most analog watches (non-digital), changing the date is achieved by:

1) Pulling the crown all the way out (second position). Turn the crown, changing the time until the date advances. This tells you that you are in the AM setting. Adjust the time further based upon this.

2) Push the crown in slightly until you feel a (click). This is the first crown position. Turning the crown in this position will change the date quickly (depending on your watch model).

3) Push the crown all the way in to the case when you are finished setting the time and date.

Thanks for the rating!

I also chipped the enamel on the crown. You should take it to the place you purchased it and they will send it to Michele (actually Fossil) for repair. I had my Michele for 5 years before sending it in to have the crown repaired and have since lost the stem. Prior to that first repair, I did not have any issues with my watch. I really think that the parts used on my watch for the first repair were shotty. Very disappointing, but what do you do?

I hope this will help you resolve the issue.

This watch is a chronograph. The true second hand is the one you mentioned that is currently running (what is called the subdial hand).

To use the chronograph hand,

1) Press the button at the 2:00 location to start timing.
2) Press the button at the 2:00 location to stop timing.
3) Press the button at the 4:00 position to reset the chronograph hand(s) to zero.

To reset the chronograph hands to zero, set the crown to either click position one (usually date setting) or two (usually time setting), and use each button to test which subdial hand it will zero out.

Usually it is the first crown click position, and pressing the 2:00 or 4:00 button to zero out.

Warning: Leaving the chronograph function running will drain your watch battery much faster than using the standard second hand, as it is a complication meant for the purpose of timing an activity or other event.

If this does not zero your watch, you must either send it back to Michele, or visit your nearest Certified Master Horologist to assess the issue, as the movement may have a defect.

As per the instruction PDF that I just read, the day of the week only changes with each 24 hour rotation. Therefore to change it, you might pull the crown out all the way and wind it through every hour in each day until it advances to the day you want. Then set the correct time. Push the crown in one notch to the second position and wind the dates forward until it stops on the one you want. It doesn't appear that going backwards for either the time (for day of the week) or date works.
