Hi i have an armani ar 0527 watch and it was working fine up until a few days ago when i changed the time and then it just stopped moving after i had changed it. i realized that the small second hand was no longer moving, but if i try to press the top button to start the big second hand, it moves. Just the small second hand doesn't move at all which causes the time to never change. Is there anything i can do? is this a battery problem or the watch needs to be fixed? Thank you for your help.

The size of the battery that your Emporio Armani AR-5331 watch takes will depend on the specific model of the watch. Some common sizes for watch batteries include:

• CR2032: A small, coin-shaped battery that is commonly used in small electronic devices such as watches and calculators.
• CR2025: A slightly smaller version of the CR2032 battery, also commonly used in watches and small electronic devices.
• CR2016: An even smaller version of the CR2032 battery, also commonly used in watches and small electronic devices.

It is best to refer to the user manual or contact the manufacturer to determine the correct size battery for your Emporio Armani AR-5331 watch. Using the wrong size battery can damage the watch or cause it to function improperly.

What you need to do is to pull the crown to step 2 (full out) and then push the start button. Then the second hand will start moving one tick a time all through the dial. Keep pushing it until you reach to zero.then push crown back in, That's it.

You must go past 12:00 twice to effect date change.

This is a symptom of what is usually several possible issues:

1) The most common is that the battery must be changed. Insist on Energizer batteries only (as they do not leak) and visit your local Certified Master Horologist for assistance in changing the battery and resetting the watch.
2) The movement must be serviced every 3-5 years by a qualified professional. Dust and debris can cause the symptom of stopping and starting the movement. If you have owned it for less time than this, remember that the watch may have been manufactured and in the retail location longer than this period of time before it was purchased.
3) The movement is defective or damaged. If the watch is under warranty, and it was purchased through an authorized dealer, Armani will take care of this issue for you at no charge.

To properly assess this issue, I recommend taking the first step, as a CMH also has the proper tools to test the movement and battery to determine the best next course of action.

You can browse through hundreds of watch selling sites, but the best would be eBay.

mcdevito75 here, Just a guess, but here goes, press to make the chrono to work, now press to make it stop, now press that same button to have chrono return to zero. Hope this helps.

Pull the watchs winder to the first detent then turn either clockwise or counter clock wise. Then stop the day before the date you want it set, pull it all the way out to its last detent and manually turn the hands with the winder until it changes (around 3 or 4pm usually) so you know it's the AM and set your watch for the correct time.

I would not recommend any of Armani watches, as they all have very average quality Chinese or Japanese mass produced movements. Your friends watch is proof to this - it already has broken weekdays calendar part. There is no need to adjust day or date every day, as the watch is designed to do it itself, but it's not always working with those cheap movements. In fact, when buying Armani watch, you are paying for brand name and design - let alone quality. The choice is yours, of course, but for the same amount of money, I would opt out for Tissot mechanical watch. In this case you will get reputable and well known Swiss brand name, Swiss made, assembled and to Swiss standards adjusted movement. And, of course, the whole watch will be made in Switzerland, case, bracelet, dial, glass, hands and even smallest of screws inclusive. No other country can beat Swiss made watches, as their standards for watch making is the highest in the world. At the very end your Tissot watch will make your friend jealous, because you will never have such a problems like broken parts or non-functional calendar e.t.c. Timekeeping will be on the spot as well. If you will look after your watch, your grand-grand-grand-grand children will be able to enjoy it, because mechanical watches are designed to last almost forever. I'm not trying to change your mind or advertise Swiss made watches - just trying to explain what would be the best solution for the amount of money you have. One more thing - the Armani watch you are after will be out of trend in a few years time and will have no value at all, however, Swiss made watches usually have timeless designs and are always keeping very good value even after years of use. In some cases 10 or 20 years old Swiss watch costs a lot more than it was bought when brand new. Hope it helps.

I hope you didn't get a 'knock-off' through Amazon. This has to be still under warranty, it is a matter of reputation.
