Casio Wave Captor Watch wont set to correct time.

If you are in the US or Canada the signal is coming from Fort-Collins, Colorado. If you are too far or there are atmospheric perturbations along the way, at the times the watch is in automatic receive , the watch may not receive a strong enough signal to synchronize itself with the atomic clock signal. The watch is not always able to do so.
Read the manual where it is suggested that you put the watch on a window sill, the dial facing outward with 12 at the bottom. Do not move the watch when it is trying to receive a signal. If you have a signal strength meter, orient the watch so that the signal is as high as possible.

Hi anoble2211,

The Casio Module for the WVQ550 is #4722. I could go through all the steps here, but it will easier and more useful for you to have all the details for every operation. Download a complete comprehensive 4-page Operation Guide for your WVQ550 series Casio Waveceptor (Atomic) here:

Let me know how this works out for you. Thanks.

Regards, Bill

http://waveceptor.casio.com/support/manual/ is the link for the official manual, but I thought this one just updated to the atomic clock? it's supposed to connect every 4 hours and update itself.

You should be able to make it change. If you do not have instructions, you can get instructions from the Timex web site "timex.com".

At the bottom of the screen click on "manuals/downloads", then on "product

Enter your watch type in the search box and click on "search"

The watch will set itself at specific time set times, this is likely to be at 0200 0400 and 0600.
You will however be required to set the time zone, the switch is likely to be on the back.
INFO:
Atomic Time Synchronisation:
How does it work.

This watch will set it's self in a 24 hour time frame. You need only set the time zone your in.

If it does not correct it's self change location in your house. It receives the signal at 0200 0400 and 0600 for the correction.

The transmitter is located in Fort Collins, Colorado. this station transmits the time codes and is best received at night.

Hope this tip helps

David

I have several of the both watches and clocks and love them.
