This is a wind up clock. No batteries.
Wind clock wise only a couple of turns. This will need to be done once or twice a day.
Do not over wind. It will break the spring.
mcdevito75 here, If you try to wind your watch listen for the distinctive click, click as you wind, if you haer this click, click then it"s a a windup, if the stem just turns without the distinctive sound click, click. then it"s a battery watch, also look for any word on the watch that says Quartz. ONE more thing, you may have a screw down cover on the winding stem, un screw the cover on the stem to get to (the crown, winding stem itself) Most likely you have to un-screw this cover on the stem to get to the actuall stem itself, Invicta makes watches like this to add waterproofing to the watch.
did you change the battery yourself ? You might have to resett he watch to have it started up . You only need to wind automatic watches. So no you do not have to wind your watch. It could be a bad movement
If the watch is a self winding type, then it generally says "automatic" on the face. These will run for about 2-3 days if they are not worn, as the self winding action only works when the user is moving).
Battery driven watches should run for at least a year before needing a replacement, so if it has stopped already, it could be self winding or manually wound type. Some self winding watches can be manually wound so you could try this to see if it starts.
I will explain from the last question asked. To get it going you have to visit your nearest watch repair shop and ask for estimate. Shop owner told you things he/she do not understand at all - self winding watches CAN NOT BE OVERWOUND, so, there is the question: are you sure this watch is self winding? I've experience of 26 years of watchmaking and have never came across Mickey Mouse watches having self winding movements. As far as I know, all MM watches are battery driven, but in case if you really have the mechanical one - you are lucky. That means there were past times when those watches were fitted with mechanical movements and now they are rarities. Even if your watch is not self winding, but is mechanical (not battery driven), visit your nearest watch repair shop and ask to check this watch out. In case if it is mechanical - pay the money and get it fixed (you will be a winner anyway). If it is battery driven - put it on your shelf where your's mother in law picture is and treat it accordingly. Rate me , plz.
Its easy to tell if its battery operated or self wind. Turn the crown (where you set the time) forward. Self wind watches will click as you turn the crown. If its battery operated then you will hear no clicks. Some watches have a screw down crown so if the crown wont turn forward then try turning back. Some watches have a capacitor that needs to be charged! Seiko Kinetics are charged by movement like an older automatic. Citizens are charged by light!
No you don't have to wind this watch..it is a quartz movement powered by a battery...the only thing the crown is used for is resetting the time and date, you are probably thinking of a mechanical watch which is powered by a mainspring...:)
