Dolce & Gabbana watch not working

[bananas]

Hi, I am new to this forum.

First, I did search around quite a bit to find some information about this watch, to no avail.

The watch in question is a Dolce & Gabbana Sir DW0380 men's watch like the one pictured below.



My brother gave me this watch a couple days ago, and it was ticking fine. I started tinkering around with the buttons to try to figure it out, and the second hand stopped working, it was sort of ticking in place. The sub-dials were still ticking when I was tinkering around with it, and it held time, but the next day nothing was working. Did I ruin the watch? Is the battery done?

I cannot find an owners manual, and my brother does not have it. Is there a way to reset the watch? Does it even work like that? Please forgive my ignorance, I have never owned a watch before. (Actually my girlfriend just gifted me a Kenneth Kole watch for Christmas too, weird how that works, never had a watch in 22 years, and suddenly I acquire two?)

I realize the best thing to do is go to a watch repair shop. However, I figured I would come here first to ask around before I did that, so please give me some advice before telling me that my brother should have kept the repair manual, or that I should not have played with the buttons before knowing what they did.

Thanks in advance, and happy... time telling?

Its ok Bro. Its just a battery. Just take it to a jeweler or a watchmaker and have them change the battery. It shouldnt cost more tha 10 or 15 bucks. All the buttons do is work the chrnograph. The top one usually starts and stops it and the bottom usually resets the smaller chrono hands. Or it is oppisite. the bottom button starts and stops it and the top resets it. Dont worry, you havent broken it by pushing te buttons. Just a fresh battery and you should be back in business. Hope this helps

Thanks, Mudaman001. That seems much more simple than I imagined. I was thinking I would have to replace a $100 battery.

I took my watch to a jewelry shop and they replaced my battery for $10, and it works perfectly. Thanks.
