Timex indiglo. Indiglo feature died.

need to put in fresh battery I know you may have just bought new one but it is old check for date on back package

mcdevito75 here, Sorry to hear of your disappointment with your Timex watch, thru the years quality of workmanship and parts may have fallen a bit, try a new battery in your timex, a high quality Battery. Anyway here is Timex Customer service number, 800-448-4639 Regards, Mike D

I have an old Timberland Indiglo watch in which I had the same problem. I folded up a paper towel for padding and I used two sets of pliers, one to hold one side of the watch while I used the other set of pliers to snap the back cover closed. It took two seconds to do.

mcdevito75 here, Your Timex watch is most likely an Indiglo meaning light, The battery supplies power to to Quatz mechanism for time keeping and for the light. There is a very good possibility that 1 or 2 of the contacts between the battery and the Quatrz mechanism were lost during the new battery installation. While you can"t rule out that the Quartz mechanism and or the light may be wearing down, you still have to suspect the battery even a new battery, look for a small watch repair shop in your area and try another battery, let the jewler know of your watches problem so he / she can properly install the battery and ensure the contacts between the Quartz and the battery are being made.

That means your watch has two batteries - one for the movement and another one for INDIGLO. It may have just one battery, but in this case INDIGLO is taking up too much power. Replace the battery and you will be sorted. Rate me, plz.

You can get instructions from the Timex web site "timex.com".

At thebottom of the screen click on "manuals/downloads", then on "product

Enter your watch type in the search box and click on "search"

Definitely, battery change will solve the Indiglo light problem. Many of wristwatches has separate battery for Indiglo function, but my advise is to change them both at once - will be cheaper for you.

Rate me, please.

Many of Timex watches has two separate batteries- one for watch and another for indiglo feature. It looks like you have to replace indiglo battery. Nearest watchmaker will do that for you.

To clarify... Replace the cover with the arrow on the back pointing directly at the stem. The Indiglo backlight, alarms and chimes should all work when the back cover is in this position.
