watch losing time

[Ylen13]

I have seiko watch and for the last couple of days it have been losing time. I owe it for about 4 years and have not changed batter even once do you think the batter is going bad or something is wrong with the watch?

dying battery is the most likely cause...

thx just wanted confirmation that is most likely the batter, now if i can just figure out how to get the battery out

one thing that is strange is when i bought my watch in the manual it says when battery is dieng that second hand will move every 2 sec instead of every 1, so far it's moving every 1 guess i will try the new battery anyway to see if that fix the problem

atomic time... it sets itself from a satellite every night. It will never lose time (until the battery dies) and it's just as nice as your seiko for less $$.

take it to a jewelry store, get the battery replaced there. if it dont work still, ask the watchsmith to repair it.


but i dont know... it may be one of those kinetic charging watches... which means you aint being active enough of late
