This is a complex watch. You can download a manual here http://www.casio.com/products/archive/Watches/PRO_TREK/SPF40-1V/

just bring your casio watch to casio service center, i'm sure they have what you are lookin for.

If the day of the week is incorrect, make sure the date is set correctly. The format on the Casio CA-53W is year first, then month, then day last.

The CTL 1616 is a special device.
It's not really a battery, but a "capacitor", which means, that it's mainly supplied by the energy of the light. The capacitor is designed to maintain the functions only for (short) periods of darkness.
It's NOT a "standard lithium battery", because It has a different voltage (2.3 V instead of 3 V) and consists of different materials.
Unfortunately, the capacitor loses its ability to store the energy over the time. So your watch may be able to maintain all the functions for more than 11 months of darkness in the BEGINNING, but after a few years it may only last for a few hours!
However this may be STRONGLY influenced by the use of the functions: for example the automatic reception of radio signals or using a digital compass may strain the energy seriously.
So, the use of different functions may affect the lifetime of a CTL 1616.
I also recommend to expose the watch to (bright) light as often as possible in order to maintain a HIGH level of stored energy.
I also heared that there were serious problems with the quality of this type of capacitor a few years ago. Maybe a new CTL 1616 will last for decades.

Hi Harry,

Your Module number is 2271.
1. To set the time, press and hold button A (left top) until Seconds digits start to flash.
2. Press button D (lower left) to move flashing in the following sequence to change other setting:
Seconds >> Hour >> Minutes >> 12/24 Hour Format >> Year >> Month >> Day >> (Then back to Seconds)
3. While a setting is flashing, use E (+) (bottom right) and B (-) (top right) to change it.
Note: When in the 12/24 Hour Mode, use E and B to toggle between 12-Hour and 24-Hour Mode.
4. Press buton A to exit setting screen.
Your time should now be set.

You may also download a manual for watch/Module number:

This should give you all the info you need to operate all the functions of your watch. Thanks.

Casio battery changes are quite tricky.If you look closely at the watch module there is a place for the battery and a v-small depression usually circular on the silver module .There will be the letters AC in small writing.You need to touch the depression AC and the battery at the same time with a conductive tweezers.This shorts the module and re sets the watch.Make sure any seals go back in to protect from water/dust.

mcdevito75 here, I'm figureing you"ve changed the battery, Pressing the MODE button should re-start your watch. If you didn"t change the battery and your watch just stopped, try pressing the MODE or any button to re-start the watch. If nothing, change the battery and repeat the above instructions.

Hey makfloyd2

Sounds like you have set the year incorrectly. Continue as if setting the time as you already have done by holding top left button, then when screen flashes scroll with bottom left button and the watch scrolls in the following order - seconds, hour, mins, YEAR, month, day. Check that year is correct and also check the format of the month and date. In England our format is 10/2/10 which is 10th Feb 2010 (dd/mm/yyy), however some casio watches are in US format mm/dd/yyyy. So check this out too.

Hope this solves your problems

Kind Regards

Jim

you can go to this link and in the upper right corner type in the model number not the module number (there are instructions for finding the model number if you don't know it) I found a band for a watch that is over 8 years old on here.
