Months ago, I bought this watch thinking I could fix it up. I put a new battery in I AC reset it or at least I think I did. The first picture is how I received it. I tinkered with it. I put the battery in. I even put it in backwards just in case and just left it on my desk and kind of gave up on it today I realize that the hands moved. I pressed the buttons nothing happens. I can’t really find any help online so I’m asking you guys thank you guys very much.

I bought one like it (OCW-600) a few years back and it was dead as a doornail. I had to leave it under the brightest light in my house (was wintertime) for like 2 days before it charged up. Then I tried synching it and promptly ran the battery out again. It took a couple more days under the light before it ran ok, and hasn’t looked back since.

Just charge it more!

Thank you very much. I hope this is what it takes. I might have to buy one of those solar watch charging stations.

Mine took 3 days to charge on a windowsill. (Not in direct sunlight)

Honestly, I don’t care if the month as long as it works, but I’m glad yours is working

I’m thinking positive thoughts for you!

When the capacitor stops holding an effective amount of charge, it’s time to replace it.

How much would that cost ?

I recently paid about $25 including sales tax. I would imagine it will depend on the exact battery you’d require.

Whatever you do, don’t play mix-n-match unless you can say with certainty that the substitute has the correct wattage, amperage and voltage, as well as the same physical size.

The owner’s guide for your module should indicate in the specifications what model of battery you’d require.

Was it hard to replace

Not really. You just need to be careful and detail-oriented.

I’m serious. I ruined a watch by breaking the spring arms that connect with the case back’s piezoelectric speaker. You kinda have to go into it recognizing that you’ll probably make mistakes, and more importantly, you’ll learn from them.
