vric Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 (edited) Well this one is strange. I have a Tag Heuer Aquaracer that I got from Neil (it's flawed, lot of problem esthetically. Neil promised me a credit, but I'm still waiting after 5 months) Anyway, I looked at it this morning, and the chrono don't seem to work. It's quite strange. When I press the up pusher (to start the chrono), the chrono second hand move by 1/5 a second (this movement is supposed to be like that). So if I press 5 time, it move on 1 second. If I hold it, the second will run fast, but won't stop. When I press the down pusher (to reset it or "lap pause" it) the chrono minute advance by 1 every time and the chrono second to the same as higher. I never worn this watch. Since I received it, I took picture of it and I sent it back in his packaging. (the crown was pulled for nut drain the battery) So it's basically have no time run, no wrist time in the last 5 months. Any idea why it do that ? I'm just curious to know. Adding this problem with all the others I complained on another thread, this one is a complete pos. This is my first rep I have a problem and it's a Quartz one.. funny Edited May 13, 2006 by vric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first rep I have a problem and it's a Quartz one.. funny I am not saying that this should be the problem , but maybe the watch was already delivered tou you with a drained battery. Batteries , no matter if they are used or not, do loose power and eventually are drained out after few years. .... of course I am just guessing, and the problem maybe is a different one.

vric Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 (edited) When the crown is in "normal" place, the watch keep his time. Second is ticking. I don't think it's a battery problem (after all, it need power to move those hands) Edited May 13, 2006 by vric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I also think it's a battery problem. I used to have a Seiko quartz chrono which acted really strange when the battery was running out. Try replacing the battery first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 The quartx Aquaracer rep doesn't have a funtioning chrono. I have not seen an auto with working chrono either of this watch, but the Link based on the 7750 has a working chrono (sec at 9). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen an auto with working chrono either of this watch, but the Link based on the 7750 has a working chrono (sec at 9). Thanks for the reply, but you are completely wrong. There is at least 4 version of the Aquaracer in Quartz with working chrono. 3 of them (Blue, Black and White) have a normal Quartz Movement (Miyota) The one I have (Silver, with electric blue sub-dial) have a micro sweeping second hard movement. The Chrono was working when I received it, it was the only thing that was good on this watch... I will try to change the battery, but I will wait. This watch is flawed and TTK (Neil) promised me a credit for it, which I still wait after 5 months of waiting.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
