I replaced the battery. was told it needed to be grounded before it would work....yep...how do i that? thx, rick

Remove and reinsert battery.If no result,proceed as follows:
Use a watch tweezer with sharp endings.Remove watch back cover.You will see somewhere on the watch chassis "AC" engraved.There is a hole with contact at the bottom next to "AC".Gently,put one leg of the tweezer touching this contact and the other leg touching the chassis,instantly.Check the display.If no result,try again.This short-circuit/ground will activated the internal circuit and the watch will start working.If you do not have tweezer,you can use 2 watch repairer screw drivers,as well.
