The digits in my digital display do not show complete numbers or letters. This can be a very expensive repair and depending on the value of the watch, replacing it may be the most economical alternative. The digital display, a very thin sandwich of glass filled with a conductive fluid, has become either contaminated or cracked, causing air to leak and damage the conductive fluid. This usually happens when a digital watch has received a severe shock, perhaps by being dropped. The display on my digital watch has turned black and the numbers can no longer be seen. The good news is, either way, it’s an easy fix. Other possibilities may be that the case back is installed incorrectly or there is a problem with the alarm contact plate.
The watch may need to be sent to the service center. The most common explanation is that the alarm contact spring is not in the correct position. The alarm worked fine until the battery was changed. The old adage “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it” holds true for battery-operated watches. Opening the case presents the possibility of compromising the factory seals, resulting in the need to perform water-resistant maintenance before it is required. With many of today’s quartz watches having an end-of-life feature, it is not advisable to replace the battery until it is absolutely necessary. Should I replace the battery just to be safe? The circuit will need to be replaced in conjunction with a routine maintenance. However, when the watch is being worn, your body temperature might cause a slight expansion, possibly breaking the circuit connection. When the watch is off the wrist and at room temperature, all of the contact points and circuits function properly. In this case, the electronic circuit may have a bad contact or defect within. Expansion occurs when there is an increase in temperature. One of the factors causing this to happen can be explained using the principles of basic physics. This is a somewhat common problem, indicating the electronic circuitry may have a defect. My watch runs fine when I don’t wear it but as soon as I put it on, it stops. Although there are numerous conditions that cause this malfunction, it is usually corrected by complete maintenance.
The watch movement most likely needs to be serviced. This may indicate the watch is functioning electronically, but the mechanical portion is not. My second hand ticks back and forth in one spot, but the watch doesn’t run. To conserve battery power, it is best to stop the chronograph function when the need for timing is completed.
In fact, if left running for extended periods of time, electronic chronograph/stopwatch functions on some watches will stop running automatically.
It is important to understand that more battery power will be required to enable all of the functions other than basic timekeeping. Using the chronograph function often or leaving it running constantly will shorten battery life considerably. I use my chronograph often and the battery life seems to last less than one year. Installing a new battery should restore the watch’s life so the second hand will advance normally again. Their circuitry makes the second hand move forward erratically to alert the wearer that it is time to replace the battery. Watches with this feature have electronic circuits that detect when the battery voltage is getting low. Why is my second hand skipping several seconds at a time? (Most of these watches do not have second hands.) Have a watch service technician check your watch's battery. Most watch batteries are designed to last about two years, but some quartz watches are designed to have an extended battery life and batteries for these watches can last up to three or more years. The first step is to see if the battery needs to be replaced. Below are answers to frequent questions about watches with quartz movements. Remember, even if something major seems off, it’s likely that with a little TLC, your battery-powered timepiece could soon be good as new. Though it may seem acceptable to take a “set it and forget it” attitude to your battery-powered watch, quartz timepieces have their own servicing needs. When it comes to servicing a timepiece, it’s easy to get swept up by the demands of relatively delicate mechanical movements.
