The Seac DRIVER watch turning off when any button is pressed, even after replacing the battery, could be caused by improper battery installation or poor battery contact. Users have reported similar issues where the watch reset unexpectedly, often when pressing buttons or after a light shake. Ensuring that the battery is correctly inserted and making proper contact may resolve the issue. Additionally, this type of problem is common in many digital watches, indicating it could be a design or contact issue rather than a battery defect.

@Mr. Anderson @Mr. Anderson the battery is as secure as it can be it slots right into the clips and is held in tight even a heavy bump wouldn’t be able to dislodge it.
