If your Adidas Archive M1 watch is "blocked," it is likely that the watch's movement has stopped working properly. This can happen for a variety of reasons such as a dead battery, a malfunctioning quartz crystal, or a problem with the gears or other internal components.
To fix this issue, it is best to take the watch to a qualified watch repair professional who can diagnose and repair the problem. They can determine if the problem is a minor one that can be fixed quickly or if a more extensive repair is needed. Additionally, you can try the following steps:
Check the battery: If the watch has a battery, make sure it is still good and replace it if necessary.
Check the crown: Make sure the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) is not in the "pulled out" position. If it is, push it back in.
Check the time: If the watch has stopped working, try resetting the time and see if that fixes the problem.
It's also a good idea to refer to the manufacturer's manual for troubleshooting steps and warranty information, as some issues may be covered under the warranty.
It sounds like you have had trouble with this from day one, the problem is the solar cells are not charging the battery, or the rechargeable battery is defective. I recommend returning the watch if warranty is still in place.
Yes your watch is covered for workman ship and loosing time is an issue in the watch. On your warranty card should be either a
e-mail address or a phone number to contact them. Call or write to them and ask how to get warranty work done. I am sure there customer service will take care of you.
Change the battery. If your watch stops ticking, chances are the watch is not broken and the battery simply needs to be replaced. You can purchase a watch battery at your local department store or drugstore. Use the screwdriver to pry the back off the watch and place the new battery in the same place where the old one fit.
Step 2
If your watch is still not working, determine the problem. If you can hear the watch ticking but the hands are not moving, there may be a gear stuck inside. If only one of the hands does not move, the hand itself could be broken. Once you determine the problem, you can see whether it makes more sense to purchase a new watch or get the old one fixed.
Step 3
Check your watch warranty. If your Fossil watch came with a warranty that is not yet expired, Fossil will fix your watch if you send it to the company and pay for shipping and handling. See the "Resources" section below to fill out the Watch Repair Form provided by Fossil.com. If your watch strap is broken, however, Fossil will charge you a fee as broken straps are not covered in the warranty.
Step 4
Check a competing local watch repair store. There are watch repair stores located all over the United States that will repair a Fossil watch if your watch is no longer under warranty or if you do not want to pay the shipping and handling to send the watch to Fossil's watch repair department. Although the watch repair store may not have the exact strap you are looking for, it may offer a replacement strap that is similar to the one that originally came with your watch.
Step 5
Return the watch to the store where you bought it. If you purchased a Fossil watch that was broken when you purchased it or broke recently after you brought it home, you may be able to return the watch for a refund or store credit. Check with the store's policy before purchasing the watch if you are concerned about returns.
I would try a local watch repair place first to see if its a standard type pin. If not you will need to follow this advice.
Watches bought from Kenneth Cole or a Kenneth Cole retailer are covered by a limited lifetime warranty. The warranty does not cover repairs needed because of normal wear and tear. You will need :
Padded envelope
Check or money order for $8.50
Step 1
Write your name, address, phone number and a description of the problem on a sheet of paper.
Step 2
Put the watch and the paper with your information in a padded envelope.
Step 3
Mail your package to:
Kenneth Cole Productions Inc. Attn: Returns Department 229 Hollie Drive Martinsville, VA 24112
Warranties only cover a failure due to manufacture. Unfortunately dead batteries are not covered by any maker as there is nothing wrong with a watch if the battery fails.
I year does seem a little short. Perhaps it was running for a time before you bought it? Who knows!
Be careful because some repair centers will charge you to be the middle man even though they know there will be no charge for the repair.
I recommend contacting Bulova directly because the problem you describe is a defect in the movement and yes it should be repaired. I would recommend replacing the movement rather than over hauling.
Bulova's standard warranty is 2 year limited. You should be covered.
