2 months after it was purchased I placed it on its side and it quit working. The story that sold it to me will not take it back. This is the 3rd time this paticular model watch has quit working for me.

Hi,I had the same problem. Look on the side of the watch on the right, in between the two pressable buttons. There is a small black button, size of a Byro tip. Press that in for 5 secs then the date display will start to flash. Set with the lower big button then press the small button again to cycle through month, day, hour, minute.
hey anita, my mother is special like you, she can notwear any type of time peice becouse they will stop. I believe it has to do with your inner electrical charge. As i have gotten older the same issues have arose for myself
the batetery is the problem of your watch, it has to be replaced. even it is only 4 months after purchasing it it may be sat in selling showcases for a long time. if you have any warranty you can bring it back from where you had purchased it. i hpoe I had been helped you.
if you can return it you probably should . Though I would guess that it is the battery, the batteries are placed in at time of manufacturing and could have sat there for awhile before being sold. I see this a lot of times , its actually quite common. Its inexpensive to replace the battery but if you just bought and can return it I would.
If there is any damage to the mechanism, then it is best sent back to the maker. It seems strange that the watch has broken after such short service; if you tell them your story they may look kindly on any repair charges.
You need a new battery, as there is not enough power to move both gears. You can send it back to Wenger and get battery replaced or just pop into your nearest watch repair shop and get it replaced. It will cost you $5.oo and will be done in 10 minutes time instead of months of waiting it back from Wenger. Rate me, plz.
If they have replaced that many watches in that short period, I'm going to say that it isn't the watch.
Timex watches are equipped with some of the largest and strongest batteries in the industry and have some of the best reserve potentials. Have you ever replaced a battery and did it make a difference?
Do you use a magnetic bracelet or work around strong magnetic fields - either of which can deplete a battery - generally in about four months? If so, put the bracelet and watch on opposite wrists. This is usually not a problem with a digital watch. I suspect it's because the magnet makes the analog movement work harder and depletes the battery faster.
And some people just can't wear a certain watch. My mother is one of them. There is something electrical or magnetic about my mother that keeps her from wearing a mechanical watch. When I was a kid, the only watch she could wear was a green plastic Davy Crockett watch.
And 50 years ago, my left handed brother gave me his hand-me-down Timex when it quit working for him. I put it on my left wrist and got several more years of wear out of the watch. I think he wore out the movement on one side wearing it on his right wrist and I wore out the jewels on the other side wearing it on my left wrist.
