Screen freeze my screen has frozen is there a reset button what can i do

This watch appears to be a battery operated model from the details I can find. Self Winding watches tend to be a LOT more expensive and usually a Big brand name! Assuming the Chronograph is designed to work the two buttons are usually 'Start/Stop', (top button) and 'Reset', (bottom button). Try this.

-Press the top button once. The smaller dials should start moving.
-Press the top button again. The smaller dials should stop moving.
-Press the bottom button once. The dials should reset to zero. There is another function of the Reset button. You can 'Freeze' the chronograph display for things like lap times.

-Start the chronograph, (Top button once).
-Press the Reset button once, (Bottom button). The dials should stop. The chronograph is still running you have simply paused the display.
-Press the Reset button again. The dials should 'Jump' to the current position the timer is at.
-Press the Top button once to stop the chronograph. *Note* Some of the cheaper watches simply have the dials and buttons for the look of it and don't actually work.

I am having the same problem. The battery is fine, the seconds are ticking away, but none of the side buttons work. The light doesn't come on and nothing happens with any of the others either. The only thing that did work was pressing all four of the buttons simultaneously, which seemed to totally reset the watch. The problem is it reset but didn't fix the buttons. So now I can't even see the correct time anymore.

you will need to press the reset or a/c button located usually near the battery well with a pin and a magnifying glass

Hi,

The display of your watch may "freeze" due to static electricity or recent battery replacement.

If this occurs, press and hold all four buttons at the same time.

This will erase the data in the memory and allow you to reset the watch to the factory settings.

Press and hold all four side buttons at the same time to reset the watch to the factory settings.

Hope this helps.

In the manual there are instructions that may give you a hint. Sometimes there are combinations where you hold more than one button in at the same time. Sometimes there is a Master button that needs to be held in while you cycle another button in and out to choose function. There is also, probably a third button to make changes after you have chosen the function on the screen....good luck playing with it!

If there are no reactions to any buttons, reset the

wrist unit by pressing all the buttons

simultaneously for two seconds. All other settings
except time and date will be saved.


manual is here

Did you try pressing the buttons on the side top bottom top

NO, don't open the back cover you will break the water seal.

Reset the wrist unit. Resetting clears the date and time settings.
Press all buttons except the Light button at the same time until the display is filled with digits. Press OK.

If this does not work, have the batteries checked.

Hello,

The reset will always solve the issue. It may have been due to Electromagnetic Interference or Static Electricity.

You can press and hold ALL buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds. After that, simply reset the time/date. All saved information will be stored.

If you are still having a problem feel free to contact Polar Customer Support @ www.polarusa.com.

Hope this helps.

Pushing all the buttons at the same time you resets the digital functions. You'll have to reset the time and date, but it will all work again. I don't know why the watch freezes up, but pushing all the buttons at least resets it. I like my watch and this quirk is an annoyance, but it's livable after finding this solution.
