Aug 30, 2014 Another problem is the inadequacy of the instructions - minute and barely readable, but even worse: there's a missing step, explained below. This can lead to time-wasting mistakes when setting the casio watch. So beware of these watches, unless you are willing to take risks with your money, and spend time re-setting after faults.

NB Please note:
The information below is offered in an attempt to be helpful. There is noguarantee that the instructions will apply in your case. I have merely reportedwhat seems to work for us (until the watch next goes wrong).

Faults and instructions

Our experience is with the first of these two models, but it seems from Amazonreviews that exactly the same faults are experienced by a significant subset ofpurchasors of the second model, with metal strap.

Like many of the Amazon customers who have written reviews of this watch my wifehas tried two of them and had serious problems: after working perfectly forabout two years, each watch started re-setting the time and date to January2005.

Another problem is the inadequacy of the instructions -- minute and barelyreadable, but even worse: there's a missing step, explained below. This can leadto time-wasting mistakes when setting the casio watch.

So beware of these watches, unless you are willingto take risks with your money, and spend time re-setting after faults.

To help those whose watches need re-setting, I've given instructions below forsetting time and various other features (but not all) and for turning radio modeon or off -- with the missing instruction added (and indicated).

For a while after the fault appeared, the watch worked well enough with radioreception turned off, as an ordinary non-radio-controlled digital watch.

But after being used in non-radio mode for some time (a few months I think) itstarted re-setting to 2005 every now and again.

After the first one did that we bought a new one, hoping we were simply unluckywith a faulty specimen.

Like the first one, the new watch worked fine until some time after theguarantee period then also started re-setting itself. Again, turning off theradio controlled mode only partially fixed this problem.

So my wife keeps both watches handy, and when one goes back to 2005, switches tothe other, and then when she has time re-sets the errant one to current time.

We shall shortly attempt to find a radio controlled watch with an equally goodwatch face but greater reliability.

So: hold A (top left) for a while to get city flashing then cycle through thesemodes by pressing button C (bottom left)In each of those setting modes:

When a state is set as desired press C to go to next setting mode.
