I guess I'm answering my own question, but wear it for a bit (I wear it a few hours every other day or so) give it a bit of a shake now and then and jobs a good'un. It hasn't stopped/run slow ect, it's not a bad watch for the cost - around the £100 mark

Just an update. I went for changing the circuit board - with success! It was a little bit fiddly, for my first attempt. But with some patience (and the odd profanity) I got there Thanks once again for your answers, was a great help

Anyone have any experience of said watch? Just wondered how long you have to wear it/move about - to hit the 40 hour power reserve? I guess that could depend on one's activity levels, perhaps - sounds plausible. Thanks

Thanks for your answers there, Andy & John, most helpful. I'm very much at beginner level; only just started out with watch repairs. I am working on my own watches, so if anything didn't quite work out I wouldn't be damaging anyone else's timepiece. Not sure if I'm going for changing the movement or the circuit board yet. I'II post back with the results once I have some, thanks again

Movement: Quartz. Caliber: ETA 955.412.

I'm thinking maybe a difficult task for an amateur? I guess the little contact would need soldering back in place? Not sure if there's another fix? Maybe one for the jeweler, if not too costly. Thanks for any thoughts anyone might have

Thanks for the advice Andy, I'll give it a go and see if l have any joy that way

Thanks

Hi, I'm trying to identify what size battery my Ellesse watch takes. Unfortunately I don't have the old battery to help me in my cause. I have tried searching the internet, and using battery size charts (measuring the size of the hole); it has all been to no avail. I was hoping that one of you good folks here might be able to help me out. Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong section. Thanking you in advance, I'm hoping I'II be able to wear my Ellesse watch once again with a nice new batter
