re: Colt Chrono Quartz Problems by smithconnect on Nov 19,2003 07:19 AM My Colt Chrono Quartz, a year and a half old, dropped fifteen minutes yesterday. I have no idea why. Thought it might be the battery, but the second hand's movement hasn't changed. (In other quartz watches I've owned, low power often leads to pauses in the action of the second hand.) Very upsetting.
