I inherited one from my dad that was in the same condition. Here’s what you do: 1) either buy and change the o-ring gasket around the watch back-or reapply silicon lube to it (to restore the water resistance). 2) Get a demagnetizer. Remove the battery and hold the watch on the demagnetizer and energize it. If the second hand spins, the watch is not jammed and can be fixed. 3) Install a new battery then put the watch on the demagnetizer and zap it with a jolt or 2 until the second hand starts ticking. It’s kind of like defibrillating a heart. You’re basically “defibrillating” the watch. I’ve done it. It works.

This is great information. I will definitely give this a try if I come across another one in the same condition! Thanks for watching?

There is supposed to be a plastic layer between the watch case and the battery. I think the watch is shorting which is why it is not working.

I got this from someone on eBay, had the battery changed once by a jeweler who doesn't charge much. Mine has a Ford logo so it must have been a retirement watch or something. Anyone know when the Garrison came out? Early 2000's? I really like mine, steel bracelet, the most legible watch I own.
