I have a swiss legend swiss quarts movement watch. It will not keep time i set it and the second hand at the bottom will go for a while then stop. i am not sure what is going on. The model number is Swiss Legend Men's 20067-BB-01-RA thanks

Sorry...

New or not SWISS use the second hand as an early indicator of the battery state.

My memory is that it starts by skipping seconds...
Then the second hand stops...
Then the watch...

ELSE
The movement is bad.

If it is INDEED NEW... Take it back & get
yourself a fresh one.

What looks like the second hand is the timer hand and starts when you push the top right hand button, you can download the manual for the watch off of the swisseagle website.
The bottom right will stop it so you can record a time and then when you push it again it will jump on to where the timer is still running to show the current lap time, but if you push the top right button a second time after initially starting the timer it will just stop the timer and then pushing the bottom right button will reset the timer to 12.
Hope this helps.

You will need to have your model number handy. Once you locate the model number you may find your operators manual here:

If the day will not change when you pull the crown out to the first position (try both directions) then pull the crown out to the second position. Advance the hands until yesterday shows in the day window. Now set the date by putting the crown in the first position and set it to yesterdays date. Now advance the hands (position 2 until the date and day change and then set the time. Done

It seems unlikely that there is any built in function that would cause the symptoms that you describe but it could be something simple like the hand being loose on its shaft.


Yor local jeweler should be able to fix that sort of thing.

You need to replace battery.
Q/A from swiss army website.
Q. How do I know when the battery needs changing?
A. In select models, the battery end-of-life indicator signals that the battery should be replaced within two or three days. When the battery is low, the second hand stands still for 2-4 seconds, and then speeds up to the correct time. This indication will last for approximately one week, and then the timepiece hands stand still.

If the hands are binding the movement needs to be removed from the case and the hands set right. i.e. parrallel and not binding.

This movement wasn't meant to be repaired, so replacement is your only option. These pop up new on eBay from time to time for around $30 shipped. Make sure you get one with the date in the correct orientation/position (e.g. date at 3 o'clock or date at 4 o'clock). Best to enlist the services of a watchmaker if you haven't removed and replaced hands on a watch before (particularly a chronograph).

the battery need replacing this is what its supposed to do when batt low. if this helps please rate joe
