What are some tips for quartz watches?
Operating a Quartz (Battery) Watch
- If the watch is not going to be worn for a long period of time, stop the movement by pulling the crown out to time setting position. This will stop the watch and preserve the battery.
- Have the battery checked every two years by a competent watchmaker.
- When the battery is changed, have the watchmaker insure the watch is pressure-tight to withstand dust and moisture
- If the second hand starts advancing in four-second increments, the battery needs to be replaced. Watches will run another 1-4 weeks when the battery is low.
