Eta Caliber G10 211

The ETA caliber G10.211 is a Swiss “assembled” quartz chronograph movement with 4 jewels. This movement is part of ETA’s Fashionline group of quartz movements. This caliber is not considered to be a repairable movement and is largely found in entry level lower priced timepieces.

Crown/Stem Removal:

To remove the crown, look for the stem release hole on the movement near the crown There is a small arrow pointing to it. Putting the crown to date setting position should reveal a button in the hole that you can gently press with your tool to release the stem. Do this carefully and do not press too hard. If you damage the stem release mechanism, there doesn’t seem to be a way to fix it since it’s encased in plastic.

Metal Plate:

The metal plate on the G10.71A is just a thin cover with sticky adhesive. Below this metal cover you will find an plastic encasing that holds everything together.

This is what the movement looks like below the metal cover:

Utilized in the Victorinox Chrono Classic. Mine is almost supernaturally accurate. It hasn’t gained or lost even a tenth of a second in three months. That’s well within quartz chronometer certification standards. Not too shabby for a conventional quartz movement!

I have an officer’s chrono , agree about it s accuracy . But don’t leave it near a magnet. Lost 1 1/2 mins in one night. Funny though when reset and magnet removed accuracy was not effected .

I have this movement in an Atlantic chronograph. Besides changing a battery after a couple of years, it’s been very reliable and quite accurate.

Don’t let the ETA stamp fool you. This G10 quartz movement is total unserviceable welded shut piece of junk. You’re better off with a Ronda or even a Miyota or Seiko quartz before buying any watch with a G10 shitter.

Yes. The movement is low end, plastic and there are no plans to possibly repair it. But watch out! ETA is a very serious manufacturer. Msm this movement in its very cheap Swiss Military Hanowa s watches has been completely accurate for over 14 years. 100% reliability for more than 14 years. Thank you.

Same experience here. I’ve had my Tissot PR50 for 12 years and it’s incredibly accurate and trouble free (within a second of exact after months).

It may be a welded-shut piece of junk, but I’ve had mine in a Victorinox Summit Chrono (it was used when I bought it) since 2004. It’s never lost more than 1 second a month, often going several months perfect accuracy: +/- 0.0 seconds. I use the USNO Naval Observatory time as my standard.

Never had a problem. The other brands you mention are well regarded, though.

It does the job. Tells time VERY accurately. And lasts!. Not it’s not pretty or expensive. Anything past that is esoteric and only relative to people looking for more than just a nice watch.

I have a bag of these from replacing customers movements. One day they’re working fine, and then the next the time keeping part is dead, or the entire thing is dead. Sad, because at a retail level, these aren’t cheap to replace. I’d recommend paying very close attention to how battery changes are conducted. Properly reseal and pressure test too. Once these are compromised, they’re trash. Same can be said for any watch. Just because… Read more »

After 6 years the chronograph stooped functioning in my Tissot rks-bc 43682. And talking with a watch service specialist he told me that is not very reliable especially the chronograph. It’s true that I have wear it few times while going with my bike in the city, but nothing crazy.

Check with a local watchmaker if you have one close and ask for an estimate to fix. There may be a simple connection issue or ask how much to replace this quartz movement. This movement is still available at watch supply stores at approximately $60 and could be sourced by you or the watchmaker, depending on which would be cheapest. The watchmaker would then simply switch out the movement. Cheaper than buying an entire new… Read more »

Tissot PRC 200 Original piece as told by a certified Tissot watchmaker. Make sure your piece is an original, before criticizing the movement inside it. * 14 years of daily use, with chronometer use of 20min/day. * It keeps perfect time (or close to that), so I only adjust it after battery replacement. * Renata battery lasts 22 months. * Bumped it against hard surfaces a couple of times, still, no issues whatsoever. Great page,… Read more »

I just received a long sought after Tissot Michael Owen Limited Edition Quadrato and it’s powered by the G10.211 movement. It’s running perfectly and keeping excellent time. I am surprised that such a collectable watch has an ‘entry-level’ movement… The only issue with the watch is the stem isn’t security engaging and can be easily pulled right out when you go to set the time – I knew this when I bought it. From what… Read more »

Cool watch! Since you have to replace the entire movement anyway, maybe you can see if there is anything to bend down to get the stem detent to secure the stem. If not possible, these really are some disposable movements!

Hello, all.

I’ve recently replaced the battery in my Mallard chrono which houses this movement.
It keeps excellent time, but the chrono functions don’t work.
Does anyone know a method for resetting?

Thanks.

I recently had the movement of a Tissot J378/478 replaced in a shop. A few weeks later, the hour hand got stuck in place, then it unstuck itself in a wrong position after I wiggled the crown in hour-setting position. I opened the watch, removed the crown to get access to the dial and was able to reposition the hour hand correctly. Seems to be working fine now.
