Help with watch not working

Help with watch not working - Lemmy.World

Can anyone help me figure out how to fix this watch? I had seen a video that said it was likely that Center screw being loose so it wouldn’t wind, but even after tightening that it won’t start ticking. Bought some simple tools and I’m willing to mess with it (I believe it was a cheap watch) I just have no clue what to do.

Update: I opened it up, dropped a screw, bent the second hand and poorly bent it back, and now the day dial doesn’t work right. I did not even fix the original issue. I fear I may have ruined this watch as it’s probably more expensive to have serviced than to replace.

You can buy a replacement movement (the guts that tell time) for probably pretty inexpensive. Someone else in the comments mentioned what the movement is (it’s a very common movement, I just can’t remember and I’m on mobile so I can’t check while typing this)
