Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped or is losing time.

The battery may be depleted. Quartz watch batteries typically last 2-5 years and require professional replacement. If the watch is new, ensure the crown is fully pushed in.

Date is not changing correctly.

Ensure you are not setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism. Consult the watch manual for proper date setting procedure.

Condensation under the crystal.

This may indicate a breach in water resistance. Remove the watch from moisture immediately and have it inspected by an authorized watchmaker.

Strap is showing signs of wear.

Leather straps naturally age. Clean and condition the strap regularly. If significant wear occurs, the strap can be replaced by an authorized Tissot dealer or watch repair service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
