It seems to me that the company servicing your timepiece (Rolex or otherwise) must have missed something or did not properly service your timepiece.

You are correct that your watch should not require service every ten months. After servicing, your Rolex, like most all automatics, should run properly for 3-5 years depending on environmental conditions. Our Rolex service offers a one year warranty, and if any issues present within that time, the service is free.

I would recommend using a company that has a full time Certified Master Horologist on staff to service your timepiece that offers a warranty on their work. Thanks for the rating, and we are happy to help you and service your Rolex.

Should run by now, I suggest taking it back to the store, nothing else you can do, has a 5 year warranty also

Those people who are saying ETICA watches retail for $900-$1000 might be right, but the truth is: these watches never sell for this amount of money and they actually even do not have any horological value. These watches are distributed by SWISS company named TIME CORPORATION, but in no way these watches were manufactured in Switzerland. Such a products puts shame on all SWISS watch manufacture. Movements for ETICA watches are definitely made in Far East, not sure about where the complete assembling takes place. By the SWISS rules if any one of watch parts are not of SWISS origin - watch is not original SWISS made and can not be associated with Switzerland in any way. If you want to find out more info, here is direct ETICA contact details: TIME CORPORATION, Rigistrasse 171b, 6340 Baar, Switzerland.

This watch is automatic and should not need winding although some can be wound by hand.

If there is no option to wind it up then gently shake it from side to side (turn it over and you should be able to see the weight rotating and winding up the watch).

It may take some time to fully wind the watch. If the weight does not move the it is faulty and should be returned to the maker.

If it is only two months old and you have proof of purchase (did you register the warranty?), the take it back.

Most watches have at least one years warranty.

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!

The nice thing about Timex is they have a 12 month warranty that covers just about everything. If you have had the watch longer....
Get the batteries checked. Battery life is typically about 2 years.
If the battery is fine then you can try having the watch reset but in most cases the LCD board or circuit board is damaged the watch has to be replaced to have it function correctly.

I had the same problem with my Tag. Same 4 second jump. It's definitely the battery. I'm surprised at only 3 months, but maybe it sat a while in the display case. Mine was over a year and a half.

Hello, not much help I'm afraid, but I was wondering where you intend to get the replacement battery for the 'tic' part? I'm trying to avoid sending it to Fossil.

I imagine your fault would be covered by warranty, and you get 2 years as well I think?
