Hi all, new member looking for some suggestions on trying to get my watch working or just scrap it.

New battery a while ago but still registers 5.4v.  Watch will not move.  Little are that hooks around screw and is over the battery was loose so I tucked it back under screw. Any help or advice is appreciated!

I suspect that the arm (which you have tucked back under the screw) must be firmly in contact with the installed battery. Re-install the battery and then tighten the screw (shown at 11 o'clock in your bottom photo) and put the back back on. I'm sure somebody else will be along with better ideas.

Welcome to the forum.

In any case Fossil is/was a "fashion" brand and it is unlikely to be "worth" anything other than as a working watch.

Was the 370/371 Energizer what was in it when it was last working?

Can you make out the calibre number of the movement? 

When you say the voltage of the battery is 5.4V, that can't be right. A new battery would only be 1.55V.

And another thing I just spotted is the -ve contact spring seems to be missing. It could just be the photo or the lighting.

I don‘t see the contact as well. May be broken off?

The movement is a Ronda 515 which costs about 10 bucks (battery included).

      Omega Split stem issue (will not go back in)

      By Rustinbox · Posted

      Bringing this old thread back to life, as I have similar problem. I did follow this advice, but while inserting a male stem (crown side) and just pushed it to the female part, and the fork (female side) of the stem has broken. What is the right way? Push the stem part so it widens the gap and fits in? Why it was then receiving side got broken? Old metal? It is a vintage watch from late 60s.    or the outer part should be inserted somehow from the side (slipping to the gap), but I don’t have space there for this manipulation. The watch is Orient Fineness monocoque case.   thank you!

      Thats insane Nev that you cut those tiny pinion teeth with a cutter you designed and made.

      I certainly do Razz. Ive just started work on this AS554, interestingly enough it had a paper dial made from a postcard , look at the brand name on the dial, very curious.

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Yep, so we got a 10 1/2  ligne movement, thats the starting point now these bad boys books should hopefully get us across the finishing line . Next we need a good clear picture of that rocking bar, the setting lever and the setting lever spring. I've already got an idea what it might be.
