Battery power not lasting

Either a loose connection inside or it just needs a new battery. They can be power hungry depending on how you use it and what battery technology type was used in the last one.

How Long Do Timex Watches Last? (Watch & Battery Life)

watchesoftoday.com https://watchesoftoday.com > Blog
A Timex watch battery will last between two and five years, depending on how often you use the Indiglo feature, while the watch itself can easily last five to ...

Clearly, it is faulty and has some type of parasitic drain. All watch batteries should last a couple of years. My Seiko last for about 3 to 4 years. Return it to Pulsar or a repair agent for repair.

..

it can be--their is no definite life span of a battery because everything has a different draw of power a simple watch can last years while more complex such as date/stop watch /backlight etc will draw and kill battery quicker

may be a battery, many times the watch is tryed or set and put in the case. so it has been running, battery last 2-3 yrs. its common. sometimes the store you got from will replace it or rebate you money for it 10-15 . if it is within 30 days return it. if it is with in the warrant period, send it to the. should have a booklet there or look them up online.

The CTL 1616 is a special device.
It's not really a battery, but a "capacitor", which means, that it's mainly supplied by the energy of the light. The capacitor is designed to maintain the functions only for (short) periods of darkness.
It's NOT a "standard lithium battery", because It has a different voltage (2.3 V instead of 3 V) and consists of different materials.
Unfortunately, the capacitor loses its ability to store the energy over the time. So your watch may be able to maintain all the functions for more than 11 months of darkness in the BEGINNING, but after a few years it may only last for a few hours!
However this may be STRONGLY influenced by the use of the functions: for example the automatic reception of radio signals or using a digital compass may strain the energy seriously.
So, the use of different functions may affect the lifetime of a CTL 1616.
I also recommend to expose the watch to (bright) light as often as possible in order to maintain a HIGH level of stored energy.
I also heared that there were serious problems with the quality of this type of capacitor a few years ago. Maybe a new CTL 1616 will last for decades.

Hi,

This means it needs a new battery. But if your watch is about 5 years old it is best to have it serviced. The oils in the movement will be drying out and this causes the gear train to require more power from the battery to make it move. By drawing more power from the battery, the battery will not last as long. This shortening of the battery life continues until the watch is serviced or eventually a new battery will not get the watch to run.

All watches require regular service to stay working properly.

Hope this helps,

The catalogue says "never needs a battery" and as it is a "radio controlled " type, then it must have a battery that is charged by power generated by motion.

To get the watch to go, then you should wave it backwards and forwards for some time ( 100's of times according to one maker!). This will charge the battery.

Leave the watch overnight so that it can pick up the timing signal and correct the watch. I did this with mine when the battery was changed and it lost its time and it took a couple of days before it told the right time, so be patient.

If the watch refuses to show any sign of life, then it should be returned to an authorised repair agent for inspection.

A few watch companies...Bulova being one of them used to give a 10 year warranty but I dont know of any batteries that actually last 10 years! The average life of a 1.5 volt silver oxide battery is 2-3 years (sometimes a smidge longer) depending on the age and condition of the watch. A 3 volt lithium battery will get on average 3-4 years.

Im guessing that your battery is probably dead! :-)

Some longines watch has built-in battery gauge. When battery is low, the second hand jumps every four seconds. If you have new battery installed and the problem persists then there is a short circuit somewhere that drinks a lot of battery juice.

i have no solution but i cant even get mine open, how do i open this? [email protected]
