My son had a Pulsar watch given as a gift some years ago. It was still in its original case. I changed the battery and followed the instructions for the initial starting which said to swing the watch in a horizontal arc for about 30 seconds. After swinging the watch in an arc several times I can’t get the watch to operate. Is there anything else I can try to get this going? I imagine the cost of repair will exceed its value so I’m likely to just trash it unless someone knows how to wake it up.
If you had to swing it in an arc it’s not your bog standard quartz watch. Also did you change the battery for the exact same model number? The battery should be rechargeable as it gets charged by wrist movement. If you fitted a standard battery it could damage the watch. If it’s the correct battery I’d tell him to wear the watch for a day or two and see if the movement kicks it into life. just now by Nigel
