I am trying to change the time on my Aquarcer..I cannot get the button to pop out to do this..I don;t want to use excessive force but it does seem seized..any suggestions please ??

In my experience the letters rise counter-clockwise from the 4 o'clock position.
so, A would be at 4. B at 2. C at 10 and d at 7. Usually the A is a mode selector and B, C and D control the hands and day/date (if you have them) try press B to control day/date and C for changing time forward and D for changing time backwards - whichever is the shortest way.
If you have a 12/24 mode, make sure you are in the right zone is matched with the time and am/pm setting.

do you see there is a whole in the middle of the metal cap? try using your tweezers to create a lever and put just enough force that it pops open. You can also remove the whole thing out so it is easier to work with. Good luck!

Ok, it took awhile to remember, but to reset the analog time or the day or anything else, first push the "mode" button which is at the 8:00 position on the side of the watch, 3 times. The first push will bring up the stopwatch, the 2nd push will change the alarm time, the 3rd push will highlight the seconds which on the watch face is at the 6:00 position. Release after the 3rd push and push the "reset" button which is located at the 4:00 position. It will start flashing the hour first. If that is what you need to change, then push the "start" button which is at the 2:00 position. Either keep pushing the start button to set the hour or hold the button in if you have more than a couple of hours to change. When that is done, if you need to change the minutes, push the "reset" button again and the minutes should be highlighted and do the same thing with the "start" button until you have the minutes set where you want. When you are done changing whichever thing needs to be set, including the alarm time, push the "mode" button and everything will stay set. This is for the Pop Art 693 AD watch which if you buy through ebay, it's an awesome watch with dual analog/digital time displays, etc. it comes with no instructions. If all else fails, go to the jewelry counter at a Walmart and hopefully the worker there can help. We found that once with a different watch. I hope this helps everyone!!

You should be in time keeping mode to do this. The manual say's press the "A" button for 5 seconds not 3 seconds. "A" button should be pressed until you hear 2 beeps (5 sec), if you only hear 1 beep (3 sec) don't let go of the "A" button, if you do you certainly will not be able to change the time, zone, dst, date, etc...

look for a mode button then you can scroll to the setting you which to change. once you are there look for an adjust (or similar) button. you hold that down until something flashes or it allows you to change the desired setting. also refer to your user manual if the watch came with one

You don't say what make of watch you have but I think they work in a similar manner to mine, so try this.

Press the mode button (usually the lower left one) and observe the LCD screen. Each time you press the mode button the screen should change to a different setting mode. Keep pressing it until you find one that allows you to set the hands (on mine it is "HS"). Some experiment may be needed.

When you have found the setting you need, press the buttons on the right to move the hands forward or backward until the correct time is indicated.

When you finished, press the mode button until the normal timekeeping mode returned.

Know your buttons "A" "B" "C" "D"

there is a pin that holds the leather band on. if you have a thin knife, or exacto knife you can slide the metal away from sides and it should come off. be careful. then there is a notch that comes out on the back that you can get the knife under to pop off the back. the pin is like a spring for dont force it or bend it. i just changed the battery in my watch. there are two batteries in there, so i would change both at the same time.

Your watch should have a "mode" button (often at 8 o'clock) and this enters the settings menu so that you can change them. keep pressing the mode button until you reach the setting you want to change.


You should be able to find a setting that says something like "24". Experiment with the remaining buttons to change the setting. The display should change to "12".

Press the mode button to find the setting for the alarm (Often abbreviated to "AL" or "ALM"?).Again experiment with the buttons to either remove the alarm or or change it form "ON" to "OFF".

Changing the values of the setting is often done by pressing the 4 O'clock button but if this does not work, try the one at 2 O'clock.

Hi anzprad,

Your mode button may be sticking, and not making proper contact into the switch on the movement. Try lightly spraying compressed air around the buttons, then, either electronic cleaner, or silcone spray around just the buttons. If that doesn't help, you may have water damage from moisture encroaching into the case from a leaky seal. Be sure to clean off any excess spray with a soft cloth.

If that doesn't help, contact Casio at the following numbers (if don't you have this info already):
