If the stopwatch is working but the timekeeping is not accurate on your Invicta Reserve Speedway watch, there could be several possible causes for the issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
Check the battery: A weak or dying battery can cause timekeeping issues. Try replacing the battery with a fresh one to see if it helps.
Check the movement: If the battery replacement doesn't solve the issue, the movement (the internal mechanism that powers the watch) may be damaged or worn out. A professional watchmaker can diagnose the problem and repair or replace the movement if necessary.
Check the setting: Make sure the watch is set to the correct time and time zone. You can refer to the manual or instructions for your watch on how to set the time and time zone.
Magnetization: Sometimes, exposure to magnetic fields can interfere with the timekeeping of a watch. If you suspect that your watch has been exposed to a strong magnetic field, take it to a professional watchmaker for demagnetization.
Water damage: If your watch has been exposed to water or moisture, it can cause damage to the movement and affect the timekeeping. You can try drying out the watch and replacing the battery, but it may require professional repair.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to take your Invicta Reserve Speedway watch to a professional watchmaker for diagnosis and repair.
If you second hand is ticking in stutter steps, in other words it hesitates 2-3 seconds then quickly steps forward, and your watch is still keeping correct time that is an EOL (end of life) feature...your cell has become very low and it's the watchs way of telling you to replace the battery. Good luck :)
The shaking is not the best way to restart the automatic watch as it puts slight strain on watch balance wheel and hairspring (most delicate part in watch). As watch balance wheel is positioned paralel(leveled) to watch dial, you have to spin your watch back and forth a few times quite quickly. (Imagine you are turning steering wheel in your car- thats the right motion). Before doing that wind up your watch a few times manually. Right after doing that observe the seconds hand and if it is ticking just a little bit or ticking back and forth and then stops- your watch has jammed gear train and this is the reason why it stops. If you don't have seconds hand- after shaking your watch listen for ticking and again- if it stops after short run, the gear train is to blame. In this case you will need watchmakers help as special skills and tools are needed to sort this out. Do not forget to rate, please.
Yes it's the battery. Please make sure to take it to someone QUALIFIED This watch requires that all the gaskets be replaced and pressure tested at the time you have the battery replaced

This is most likely the "battery change indicated" feature of your watch. Change the battery, and see if the problem goes away. If it does not, then it could be a problem with the stepper motor, which will require a watchmaker. Of course all of this is dependent on the assumption that your watch has a quartz movement. If it is an automatic, or mechanical you have bigger problems.
Don't whatever you do allow the watch to be sent to Tag, as they are very likely to state that the watch needs a service at a cost of £125 after having your watch for 8 weeks (they charge £40 for a new battery which is bad enough) . This they do all the time and seems a bit if a scam. They state that the internals need cleaning by their specialists. Lets just think about this. A hermetically sealed watch to 200 meters has got dirty inside! They said this to me and so I asked for the watch back. They had removed the back of the watch, so I had a look inside and in the intervening weeks the run down battery had corroded. Luckily the terminals are gold and resistant, so I replaced the insulating disk which had corroded with a disc of thin plastic from a water bottle label and bought a battery for £1.36 and all has been dandy ever since. If you are concerned to do the same, an independent watch specialist will change the battery and repressurise for between £25-35
I have a Fossil Kaleido that i havent used in some time. I just replaced the batteries in it and the only thing that works is it goes from solid red to hearts..it wont keep time.
