Swatch Irony Aluminium instruction manual needed

Try cleaning the battery. The battery is coated when new. I had the same problem loosing 1/2 hr some days then
Ok others

Hello, a week ago the small second hand (not long chrono second hand) got stucked and my irony swatch just stop moving. Although the chronometer could be running if started... The small hand just didn't move.
I tried different tricks, like removing battery, pull out main wheel and use chrono buttons to reset arms. Etc.
Today I noticed that when turning the wheel backwards a couple of times (one or two hours back) the little hand moved one second back... Pushing wheel back to On possition made the small hand move forward one second and get stucked again.
Then I did this procedure a couple of times, at some point I turned the wheel back for a while (may be 5 full turns) and noticed the small hand moved more than one second (5, 10, 15 seconds backward)... when I noticed it was moving freely I pushed wheel to on position and noticed the small second hand was running normal.. I hope it works for some of you. Greettings from Canada

the second hand, the small one at about 6 o'clock is moving which indicates your watch is working. the other large hand is not the second hand but the chronograph hand or stopwatch hand. You start it in motion by pushing the button a 2 o'clock. You also stop it this way. The button a 4 o'clock is the button than resets it to zero (12 o'clock). You didn't say what wasn't working. Does this help?

remove the movement and press the glass out from the back. Not a job if you do not have the right tools. Suggest you send to a watch maker.

Assuming the mechanics work ok (thay all do 360 degree turns) it's just a calibration issue: download from SWATCH support a PDf which describes how to zero the watch hands, it's simple as taking the crown out to 3rd step, the pushing the buttons repectively till they point 12 direction. Exact details in the PDF.

You are not in luck - Irony watches are not made to be serviceable and therefor you will have to send it back to Swatch or one of their dealers - hopefully it is under warranty.

Thank you for contacting Fixya,<br /> I would have the battery checked again. Sometimes batteries in stores can be past the extended life of battery. Otherwise could be a number of issues. Has it been around water? Dropped? Could need cleaning. In cases of most watches, like Swatch, the cost to have repaired may exceed the watch. <br /> You can contact Swatch at:<br /> <a href="http://www.swatch.com/zz_en/shop.html">http://www.swatch.com/zz_en/shop.html</a>

This is an analog watch.

Pull the set stem to the set position and advance 12 hours.

Hope this tip helps.

Assuming you want to reset the zero posistion of the chronometer (stop watch) hands...

On my watch I can adjust it by doing the following...

To reset the microseconds hand / top right
1) Pull the center knob full out (2 clicks)
2) Press the bottom push button to adjust the hand

To reset the seconds hand / middle
1) Pull the center knob a full out (2 clicks)
2) Press the top push button to adjust the hand

To reset the minutes hand / top left
1) Pull the center knob out half way (1 click)
2) Next press the bottom push button to adjust the hand.

Once all hands are reset, push the center knob back in fully...done
