Here is a basic explanation of how a Quartz-Analog movement can get damaged during a battery swap. All it takes is 1 broken wire in the movement coil, which is a continuous copper wire, and the movement is done.
The damage usually occurs when a person pulls back the battery-arm which secures the battery, and scrapes the coil with the tweezers causing a tiny break.
Or in the more extreme case, the person pulls back the battery-arm and presses it down on the coil with the tweezer point, in order to hold it in place. If they slip off, or apply too much pressure, this can scrape / break the coil.

Alldaron spent over 2 hours with me during the design review and presented multiple renditions of the watch. Fantastic customer service.
Even the finest watches need TLC from time to time.
The watch which chronicles my police career was damaged by the lads at my local jewelers when they attempted to install a new battery. Alas. So I contacted Timeless Valor about repairs. Presto, in just a few days the watch was off on its first trip home. Then, in just a few days it was on the way back to NH. It arrived in perfect condition after being superbly packed. Glad it's back and I have it on as I type this. Fantastic wrist watches made with care but even the finest constructions need expert TLC from time to time.
