Search Results for ‘battery change’

I've seen this mentioned a few times but was really just curious to hear peoples' thoughts on it. I just got a Grand Seiko 9F Quartz movement recently and have been considering what I'd do when the time comes to replace its battery. Now, I've actually never taken a watch to a shop to have its...

Hopefully simple question - never bought a swatch until now. The battery cover doesn't have a notch so I'm unsure if it's a snap-off, like could I slip a watch tool into the groove and pop it off. Or should this still turn, like the notch covers that I see on youtube videos? Anyone know? Thanks

Help: Quartz watch second hands twitch back and forth after battery change

I have a Casio G-lide (GLX-5600). I put in a new battery a few weeks ago and since then it's unusable. Watch is counting time again, but none of the buttons work anymore. I think it's because I haven't done an AC reset but for some reason I can't seem to pull it off. I have watched every video I...

Hello folks, I received a long overdue delivery of a ga 100 from an international shipping. The battery had died and in the absence of proper watch technicians around, I decided to give my newbie self the task. Flash news: I think I broke the battery latch lock. Even after watching so many...

Hello to all, I am hoping someone can help me. I have a G-Shock GA-110 and I tried a battery replacement, which I was able to do but I have no alarm or the watch does not beep when I press my buttons after the change. I started to fool around with it, and to make a long story short, I disloged...

Greetings, I have recently purchased a citizen cosmotron 7803-790941 which uses the 313 battery which has been discontinued due to the fact that it used mercury. I have been able to find similar battery but I have a few questions. First example would be the Button Cell Battery SR44SW. This...

I bought my Citizen Chronomaster through Katsu Higuchi in Japan in 2007. Subsequently I posted much data here at Watchseek showing how the watch rapidly sped up over time and way out of spec, repeating that bad behavior after going back to Japan for service. Finally Higuchi decided it needed a...

Hi, I know that G-8000 and G-8100 models are not really popular here. but I love the crazy futuristic look of both G-8000 also has one of the best non solar modules out there. Here's photos of them (G-8100 black / G-8000 silver). However, recently I had to change the battery on my G-8100...

It takes 2 batteries. There is the main battery that runs the time. then there is a part that fits over the top of that, that holds a larger button cell battery to run the built-in flashlight. I replaced both batteries, and the flashlight works great, but I'm not getting any function on the...

Hi guys, I have been reading many threads about tough solar lately. My personal experience: batteries on G's keep running for many many years. Much more than expected and much more than they are supposed to last according to manuals and specifications. Specially if you don't abuse the light...

Hello, I have quartz and automatic watches in the 46mm Bell & Ross style case. None have removable backs. All open from the front only. How can I reach the back of the movement to change the battery (quartz) or adjust the regulator arm (auto versions)? Thank you.

Greetings! I found my old/vintage/classic DW-5600 (from when I was a kid) in a dresser drawer. The battery lasted for about 10 years (!), was never changed, and it was dead for almost 10 years in the drawer. The resin was oily & rotted, and crumbled off the steel case. Here's a pic: It's a...

Went to a jewellry to change my GW5600 battery and they couldn´t make it work, so they only charge me the price of the battery ( 1 € ). Read somewhere that after replacing a battery on any GSHOCK it has to be reset, so I opened mine and found the "AC" sign but no button near so I can restart it...

After another faultless performance as my travel watch, this time on recent duty in the Seychelles... ... I just noticed last night that the old familiar 4 second jump has begun - so it's new battery time again! - the 3rd for this one I think? I just thought that it might be helpful to post...

Great forum you have here. I recently replaced the battery in my Kirium CL1110 chrono. The watch restarted just fine, the problem lies in the timer reset function. When I stop the timer and hit reset, the second hand moves to twelve as it should but the secondary minute hand moves to eight...
