I have a question. My MWC G10LM which I have owned for about 5 years has decided to stop now and again for no reason. I have had Timpsons put a "lifetime guarantee battery" in it and ensure the terminals are clean and it has made no difference. I have left it on a cabinet for over a month and it has run perfectly but if I wear it it stops and stays stopped. If I pull the crown out and push it back in the watch starts again. Any ideas why?
Edit: It is of no sentimental or monetary value but I like it for its simplicity.
Often when quartz watches become intermittent it's due to dirt and dried up oil in the mechanism. The increased load causes the watch to stop. Sometimes you can see that the seconds hand motion looks a bit erratic/shaky when they are struggling.
