It sounds as if the watch has taken a knock, and the hands are no longer properly aligned (that is, no longer at right angles to the stem, so that they rise up and down with respect to the watch face as they rotate, and typically try to 'cross' at a particular time of day).
If this is the case you might be able to see it if you first pull out the winder to the time adjustment position, then look closely across the watch face as you rotate the winder.
If I'm right, it's not a big job to correct it, but not one for the enthusiastic amateur. If you value your watch then take it to a reputable watch repairer.
I hope this helps.
The analog hands and face are clean looking and manage to give the watch a classic face. It won't turn any heads, positively or negatively. The hands are rather thin and silver which makes it blend in too easily with the face. Stupidly, Casio put a vertical and horizontal silver line on the face which further causes the hands to be visually lost. The hands aren't hard to see, but because they blend they aren't easy to see either. And there is no second hand at all; but the digital portion covers that function.
The digital portion in the bottom can only display two rows of information. So it's either day/date, or time/seconds. The top row is hard to see because the face shadows over it partially. The numbers are on the small side; not for old eyes. The digital portion has all the fundamental functions: time/date, hourly chime, chrono, 3 alarms, count down, dual time, and even "data bank" which is a very crude phone/number data bank.
The LED's are the old 80's yellowish tinge type and do a very poor job of illuminating the face... but if you're in the dark, it'll do the job. The hands have glow in the dark paint on them which also helps you just barely make out the time in the dark.
There is just nothing great at all about this watch; but it does everything you REALLY need a watch to do. Couple this with the 10-year battery, 100M water resistance, and $25 price tag, and you have something that just gets the job done reliably and economically. It might be plain vanilla, but it's real and hits the spot.
mcdevito75 here, Cartier a FINE watch, replace the glass crystal, I would figure approx. $100.00 maybe a bit more. Look for a small watch repair shop in your area to save on cost, and they most likely will have to order the crystal straight from Cartier.
mcdevito75 here, Besides online with Timex for another original strap, you can also look for a small watch repair shop in your area for a replacement strap.
mcdevito75 here, Look for any small watch repair shop in your area, they can tell if your watch is real. Meanwhile you can make some inspections yourself, look at the name of the watch on the dial, is it spelled correct, are all the letters of the name uniform, same size, written across the face in a straight line, most fake watches will have 1 of these or more defects, the watch repair shop is your best bet though.
Hears how i do my watch, i have the same watch as you.Just make sure nothing is displayed on the clock face by turning the winder, ie NO digital time, NO daul time, NO alarm, NO stop watch etc, Pull out the winder(crown) and adjust the hands to the time you require by spinning the winder.(Gentley for mins and fast for hours) The digital clock will display wilst doing this, but not change the time.handy if you want to sync both clocks.Push the winder back in at the time to sync and the digital display will go out, then spin the winder again if you want to display the digital features. I hope this helps, please post if it does, Maurice Chevalier- Herts
You can purchase just the watch face at most Fossil Store locations as well as on line at Fossil.com. They are marketed under the "watch bar" catagory. Make sure you know the the correct size of your strap in order to get a watch face that fits. Outlets have great prices on the watch bar items.
