Your watch is an automatic type which means that it is a mechanical self winding watch powered by a spring. It is wound up by a weight that moves when you are walking about and this watch must be worn to keep it operating.

If not worn, these watches will stop in 2 -3 days because the spring has run down.

Some automatic watches can be wound using the crown wheel (winder) but if yours cannot be wound in this way, then swing it from side to side gently for a few minutes and the watch will wind up.

These watches thrive on being used.

    does this mean we can make the watch start working again by wearing it?

My nixon won't run and it just came in today. Is the battery dead?

That is the most likely cause. The battery may have sat in the watch for a long time before it was sold and it may have been on the shelf for a long time before it was put in the watch. Replace it first and if it doesnt not last long, the watch may have a problem with its internal parts.

Watch stopped after changing time

It may just be a coincidence that the battery is dead at the same time you changed the hours

It says rom fail on my lodown 2 and i was wondering if anyone knew how to reset the watch?

Here some tips to deal with a Nixon Lodown:
1) Sleeping mood (display is off, all buttons lead to the same reaction: display shows time for some secs and then turns off again. This mode is for battery energy saving, switch it on and off by holding (c.a. 2 secs) the light button.
2) ROM FAIL: it happens that the lodown shows ROM FAIL and constantly restarts. It happened on my watch while I tried to change time zones. Here is what to do about it: Bring it to a professional watch repair store and get the battery replaced. The watch restarts automatically and works perfectly fine again. DON'T send it to Nixon, they will charge you for shipping, battery replacement, the new battery etc. Although it should be covered by the guarantee. Just get a new battery, it cost me 16 USD and the watch is good again, waterproof and works perfectly. Nixon authorized repair centers will charge you extra for pressure testing. I had this on my second Lodown, after I had it two weeks only...
3) Watch freezes: All digits are on at the same time, none of the buttons brings a reaction. I had this problem on my first lodown. Just get a new battery, that solves the problem. But again DON'T use authorized Nixon repair centers, it costed me almost 45 USD, just to get a new battery. Although the watch was only 1 year old and guarantee should have covered this case.
In general the Nixon Lodown is a good watch, looks good, has all features you need, as long as it works. The problem with the watch is, the above problems occur pretty often. I have my second Lodown now and I am very disappointed with the Nixon customer service. Although clearly guarantee cases, they will charge you for every single problem you have with the watch. My advice, bring the watch to a regular watchmaker.
After all, I don't understand why the Nixon Lodown manual does not mention all the above issues. The manual is completely useless, very poor from Nixon. You have to dig online to solve any issues on the watch. In summary: The Nixon Lodown watch is good, Nixon customer service and guarantee is a joke. ROM FAIL and freeze is solved with replacing the battery.

I just bought a new Nixon "The Banks" watch and the dial in the lower right hand corner, I believe it's suppose to be the second hand, won't work.

The Banks has three different batteries in it for each dial. The second hand battery died on it. I had the same problem and just went to a watch store and they replaced the battery for me.

My new nixon 42 20 when i reset the chrono the second hand doesnt go back to zero it goes to 16 seconds past how do i sort this problem its annoying !

  • Undo & pull the crown all the way out,then
  • undo the adjuster button (the one underneath the crown)
  • push the stop/start adjust button one push at a time and it will move in slight increments,keep going till you get the second hand on the 12 mark
  • then push the top adjuster and it will go back to the 12 mark.
  • Push the crown in and wind your adjusting buttons up and you have finished

I havent used my watch for about 3 months and now i cant get the stp watch to work on it? it has been srored in a drawer and is in new condition?

if the watch is still keeping time but the stopwatch wont work then its probable that the watch has two modules inside,one for the normal hour and min hand and a module to run the stop watch.The cell on the stopwatch module will be flat and needs to be changed.Your watch is waterproof so take care who opens it and ask for it tom be re sealed or it wont be waterproof.
If you cant find a local watchmaker see www.rolexrepairs.co.uk where there is a postal repair service within a day or so.

How do you set the time to the Nixon 51-30 watch. Also what can you do to stop the knob from coming all the way off when unscrewed?

Click on my profile (escapement), then click on Tips and Tricks. There you will find link to all Nixon watch manuals. To stop the crown to come off it must be screwed and secured onto stem. If you are not sure how to do that, visit your nearest watch repair shop and they will do it for you. Rate me, please.
