    Hi I have a Mudman 9500 and was wondering how long it should take to charge. Mine is forever between flashing low or medium, no matter how long I leave it in the light it will not fully charge. I understand it matters depending on the light source, but a had another brand before and it was...

    I have a 1980s Omega DeVille that needs a new battery. Unfortunately the watch took a mercury cell 388, which are no longer available. I did buy a “conversion kit” to use a different battery, but that didn’t seem to do the trick. Is there a “straight swap” option? I’d love to get this watch...

  5. TAG Heuer
    Does anyone know if CR2320 is the correct battery for a Aquaracer Caliber S Chronograph Caf7010 Ba0815? I'm tired of paying Tag to replace the battery on this out of warranty watch. I've searched everything and can't find the battery number. I'm new to the forum so apologies if this has been...

    I found this old b023 eco-drive tank style watch lying in a drawer. It's probably around 15 years old and wasn't charged for... idk a decade. Last evening I hit it with a UV light and then left it under a lightbulb after setting it to see if it still worked. The minute hand was moving every 20...

    I got the Kirby Smart Canvas Watch a year ago and now it's need to be replaced. Can someone local do it or does it have to be shipped back to Japan? If so, how do I send it? Thanks!

    So you guys know I have like 10 watches, almost all of em ticking(except the AW). I am planning to store 2-3 of em after the battery runs out since I have no time to wear that many watches. But I also heard that inactivity is bad for quartz movement and some watches sitting never start working...

    The more I learnt about watch, I realised how obsolete silver battery is, it uses precious metal, is so tiny that it didn’t have much power/ voltage compared to lithium battery, a cr2032 is about 5-6 times more power compared to a renata 394 Batteryand lasts 10 yrs Why won’t more watchmaker use...

    Hi I want to change the battery of my quadrato chrono. The back case gasket is still intact but could use a new one. Any ideas on where I can get one? I don't want to send it to customer service for a battery replacement.

    I've been working on finding some vintage, metal construction, small body Casios. I'd like to build a mini-colleciton of these; higher quality, vintage forebearers of the A168 and all the similar, resin construction, small body watches of today. There are plenty of earlier square Casios and...

    So…I haven’t read anything in this forum about this, but does anyone use the Power Save test feature to manually turn PS on?? What am I talking about? While browsing shockbase.org by member @xkonx , I saw among the hidden screens listed there is a test for Power Save, in the same functionality...

    Am I mistaken, or does Power Save only exist in solar powered G-Shocks? Why in the world would that be? Think about it....the reason we buy a solar watch (presumably) is to change the cell less. So for non-solar pieces, why don't they all have the Power Save feature too? My family has three...

    Hello, I’m new to posting but figured this is the best place for informed advice. I have a Seiko Perpetual Calendar 8F33-0029 that was my fathers work watch. The battery died years ago and all of the watch makers and repair shops in my area have told me they will not change the battery and set...

    I found this Casiotron 04-507 and for some reason, I think the high estimated shipping, it wasn't crowded by watchers on ebay. I ended up getting it for about $37 before shipping and about $66 after shipping! I'm thrilled with that! It came on this Casio bracelet that had the end links filed...

    Hello, I am owner of Suunto Traverse Alpha Stealth. This may sound weird, but now, in 2022, I still prefer classical, tactical Suunto like Traverse and Core, in favor of new models. However, after some time of use, I have noticed some performance drop in battery life, and I was wondering have...
  17. Longines
    Hi all, I tried to search and see if there was any video posted here on WUS that show what the Longines VHP end-of-life battery indicator looks like, but did not find anything. This specific watch was purchase on March 7, 2019 from a authorized distributor, and the EOL indicator started on...

    Hi My lunar pilot was bought new 2 years ago. It is running fine and I very rarely use the chrono, once every other month. How long does the battery last on these? While on the subject, any specific things to know when replacing one? (Wish they had made a solar version of this movement...)...

    I got this M800 a few weeks ago and I've loved it overall but I've had some doubts about the battery. There's a lot of details and I'm not exactly certain the battery was bad but I decided to change it anyhow. It's a ten year old watch and I can't be sure whether or how many times the battery...

    Hi all, I have replaced the battery and when using tweezers to reset the battery there was a buzz and the green hand started moving rapidly around the dial. I then took the tweezers away and nothing is moving. Now cannot even replicate the rapid green hand movement. Any suggestions or help would...
