March 10, 2006, Newsletter Issue #8: Operating a Quartz (Battery) Watch
Tip of the Week
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.
