I have a bretling colt quartz watch and the hour regester will not reset

Check out the videos and articles. With my Seiko, you pull the crown to the first position and pushing the side buttons closest to the dial, advances with each press.

My Citizen Skyhawk analog UTC hour hand is always 9 hour back of the UTC digital hour. I've tried to reset and hour/min hand alignment process without success.

This person wasn't asking for advice about buying a rubber wrist strap for a diving watch, but rather was asking about where to get an extra link for the watches stainless steel bracelet1

If you have the crown in the first click position (date set position) the date set wheel is most likely damaged. Otherwise, if it does not change in 24 hours, it is the date wheel itself that is damaged.

This happens in all watches over time, as even quartz watches must technically be serviced every 3-5 years. 90% of manufacturers quote this as the standard service rate for quartz and mechanical watches.

If this watch has sentimental value, and you will want to contact a local Certified Master Horologist or Certified Quartz Technician about replacing the movement. Replacing Timex movements is generally more expensive than purchasing a new watch.

If the watch is still in warranty, you may consider contacting Timex about replacing the watch free of charge at: [email protected]

The chrono hands can be set by pulling out the crown as if the date or time was to be set.With the crown out press the chrono pushers to advance individual hands as required.

I read the instructions for a similar type of watch and while the battery will keep the watch "alive" for some months when not in use, eventually the battery dies.

Since it is a kinetic watch the instructions I read said that you should gently shake the watch about 500 times to recharge the battery!

If you give it a good shake and then wear it for a few days, it should recharge itself, although it may have forgotten the time and may need re-setting.

Good luck!

Exactly what Kind of watch do you have?
Is it a quartz or automatic?
In either case, from your description it sounds like you will need to take your watch in for repair. The difference is whether or not it's worth it. Personally I would recommend fixing almost any automatic. Quartz watches are a different story. Although they can be repaired as well.

Find a repritable jewelers and inquire about who does their watch repairs.
If you would like more specific details please respond with the make and model of your watch.

Hope this helps.

Hello,
I am not sure if I understand your question. Are you asking how this particular quartz movement operates?

All Quartz movements are pretty much the same operational wise. They can vary greatly in materials used for construction and number of jewels.

At it's basic a quartz watch uses a piece of quartz crystal called a transistor oscillator to vibrate a tuning fork. This vibration is a is brought down by micro processors to a meaningful number then converted into mechanical energy trough the movement and hands.

In the case of a chronograph it means more internal gears and jewels.
Although this is a good movement it is the low side of middle of the road.

The G10.211 is an analog display of hours and measured time. These include hours, minutes and a small jumping second as 6 o'clock. Mechanical date and counters for 1/10 second, 60 seconds and 30 minutes with "ADD" and 'SPLIT" functions. Operated by 2 push buttons.
It has 6 jewels.

If you want to know something more specific please just ask.
Hope this helps.

No matter what is your watch movement (quartz or mechanical) it can be adjusted to keep time properly.
Bring it to your nearest watchmaker and the problem will be solved.
9 sec a day is far too much for Breitling.
