How to set alarm for Luminox 1897.. PLEASE! Instructions in manual don't seem to work, and are difficult to understand.

You can get a manual by going to http://www.luminox.com/service/service-centers/ and select the one that you need.

you set it using the wheel pull it out , it should have two positions, one adjust time the other one date and chronograph, I see if I find full manual.

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

Can get at the following link:

I have not been able to find any instructions on their web site, so the only thing I can suggest is that you go to their web site and click on "find a retailer" and speak to them and ask them how to do it.

Click on my profile (escapement), then click on Tips and Tricks. There you will find link to all LUMINOX watch manuals. Rate me, please.

It can be the battery if your watch model has separate battery for alarm function. If your watch originally is running on one battery, then check out if the sound transmitter spring is missing. Sound is transmitted through the coil spring or small peace of metal which is sticking upwards out of movement, so, when the case back is fitted to the case, the spring is touching sound membrane inside the case back, thus enabling transmit vibrations (sound). If there is nothing as I just described, you will need to get one and fit it to the movement. If there is such a spring, then movement has micro electric fault and should be fixed. In both cases you have to visit your nearest watchmaker and ask for help.
