I have a Guess watch I bought cheap that needed a battery. After replacing the hands don't move. Only the second hand twitches. I think it needs cleaning. How do I do this. I have no money to pay someone to clean it. I have had the works out of the watch but don't know what to do after that.
The battery you put in may also be defective to start with. You need to have a proper watch battery tester to know if the battery is actually good.
As for cleaning a watch the watch maker will take all the tiny mechanical pieces apart, put them in to a very fine screen basket, and submerge the pieces in to the cleaning solution inside of an ultra sonic cleaning machine. Once cleaned he will maliciously re-assemble all the pieces in back in to the casing structure and lubricate with the very fine 000 viscosity oil used for watches. Then he will perform all the necessary mechanical adjustments.
Personally, if not properly trained and not having the proper tools and jigs I do not think you would be able do this type of work without ruining the watch...
SOURCE: how to align seconds hand for stopwatch feature?
If you pull out the crown to the 2ed postion the push the upper start button that should move the second hand up to zero then push crown in.

Try setting the crown to position 2 - i.e. the position normally used to adjust the date. Then use the top and bottom stopwatch buttons to adjust the minute hand and 1/10th hand respectively.
SOURCE: Removing crown and reattaching arms
I dont think you have to remove the crown to get to the arms. If you observe cleanly you will notice that the arms are held in place by a latch on the side. That is what you have to remove to replace the arms. Good Luck!

Hi,
Sometimes a watch will be off center due to shock, dead battery etc. Symptoms are; hands don’t line up, digital and analog time doesn’t match, Compass function doesn’t have the hands exactly opposite etc. This can all be fixed. The Synchronization function can be used:
1. Activate Crystal
2. Tap center until you are the unit’s screen (12h or 24h, F ft or C m).
3. Push and hold (at least five seconds) the center crown
4. Watch will beep and word (SYNCHRO) will appear in the display.
5. Use the top + button to line up the minute hand right on the 12.
6. Use the bottom – button to line up the hour hand right on the 12.
7. When finished, press crown and you will go back to time.

Unfortunately your watch do not have reverse action, so, you have to go all the way forwards till you reach designated time again.
One more way how to set the right time is to disconnect the battery and wait till the real time reaches the hands of your watch, then put battery back and set again. If watch has a STOP function (crown pulled out), then you don't have to disconnect the battery- just pull out crown and wait.
By the way: pushing the button in accelerates minute hand constantly, but if you'll push the button rapidly, it will move mimnute hand bit by bit. Use this feature to set desired time more precisely.
