The strap for my watch is starting to crack now; does anyone know of a cheap source for these? Just done the battery swap on mine and all working beautifully.
Hi Nick Well it is now about 18 months since I fitted a CR to my watch and it is still going strong with 6 segments lit on the charge indicator. I think that in practice what will happen is that any charge current is consumed by the watch. Hi gtouser, Thanks a lot for your instant reply, you rock!
Yes the watch in the article is water resistant. Just be careful that any O ring is in place and undamaged and clean. You can put some silicone grease on it too when you refit it. Because the back of the watch seem deferent from the picture shown. There is no need to remove the watch strap as you can easily slide the back plate from between the straps.
I would be very reluctant to fit a non genuine battery to an expensive watch such as this, false economy. Please keep us up to date like this. Thanks for sharing. I used these instructions to change the battery on my PRGT — good stuff. The only thing missing is the reset procedure, which needs to be done once the battery is replaced at least on the PRG These contacts have to be connected with a piece of metal for 2 seconds I used an unwound paper clip.
As soon as that is done, the watch is available for setting up once the back plate is replaced. Replaced battery, watch showed time, but no control buttons worked. No where else was a reset mentioned. After opening back 5 times, putting back original battery, and ready to throw watch away, saw this entry.
Reset worked a charm. Anyone else trying this: First, be very aware of the three tiny springs that are exposed when opening the back. Do not let them escape. Second, there seem to be different models of this watch. Battery holder on my watch was totally different than one pictured. Third, do the reset before closing the watch.
Well I reused mine because it was in good condition and I had some silicone grease which I applied to it to assist with the sealing. If I had a new one I would probably fit it as it is good practice. Inspect it with a magnifying glass for nicks and most importantly clean out the channel that it sits in with ethanol or similar, do this even if you fit a new o-ring.
You could measure the o-ring cord diameter with a micrometer and also the diameter of the channel with a vernier calipers to determine the sizes if you want to replace it. You can probably get o-rings on ebay once you determine the sizes. If you want to reuse a distored but otherwise OK o-ring you can drop it in a cup of boiling water for a few minutes and it will often give it a new lease of life.
So to summarize, ideally you should replace it but if you enjoy improvising like I do you can often make it work OK by cleaning it and applying some preferably silicone grease or second best petroleum jelly vaseline.
Thank you. I too thought of replacing it with a simple 3V lithium battery, but was dissuaded by several comments from people who seemed to know what they were talking about. They suggested the difference between 2. The 0. It would also prevent the charge current from entering the battery.
Thanks for very professional explanation! I can get to the tops of the pins with a great deal of difficulty. E To change the current time and date settings manually. E Taking Direction Readings.
