My casio paw 1200 was in a draw for a long period of time. I exposed it to light for the last 2 day and all it does is blink the day and time .pushing the buttons does nothing

Looking at your watch face: the upper left button is A, upper right is B, lower left is C and lower right is D.
Get your watch into "Hand Setting mode" That is the mode witht he digital time and seconds above it. From Day and Date window it would mean pushing button "C" six times to get to that mode.
Once in "Hand Setting Mode" Hold down button "A" til time blinks, then press button "D" to advance the hands, to the desired time.
Press "A" to exit mode. Press "C" to return to timekeeping mode.
so here is the fix if you get op en display on your casio pathfinder or whatever model. mine happens to be a paw 1200t 1. you gotta break it open 2 pins each side band comes off. 2. pry off the side pieces. this exposes 4 screws. 3. the base then comes off be careful of the gasket. 4. once inside. notice a round circular object on the base and a small oval shiny gold copper piece. 5. For whatever reason the shiny copper piece has shifted and does not make contact with the tiny little springs there are 2 if you shift the base to make contact with the gold piece the op en goes away and watch is back to normal. 6. the fix is move this little piece back to where it belongs. i got lucky and the glue still held when i firmly moved it to its original location. super glue came to mind if it wont stay where it belongs.
7. gasket orientation and cleaning out the gasket channel is a given i used welding tip cleaners to do the intricate work. under the bands are very grungy. mine is about 5-6 years old. reassemble the way it came out.
if your battery is good and you get this op en look to your display for whatever reason this worked for me and if casio uses this as a warranty or warning of water coming in your watch it was a STUPID DUMB IDEA. those springs should be solid state and the watch is useless until it is fixed no light, no baro, no alt, no comp. notta and no buttons work. there is no reason whatsoever that this shiny copper thing shifts but it happened to me and my watch is working and my battery has had H or full power since day one.
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.
Time Setting Instructions:First press and hold ST/STP for a few seconds and make sure it says (Time 1). This watch has a (Time 2) to use in other time zones.You change from Time 1 and Time 2 by pushing the ST/STP button for a few seconds.Time 1 setting:- Press and hold the SET button (Light Function will blink) use the ST/STP button to select on or off. Then push the Mode button to go to the next function.- The Chime function will blink. Use the ST/STP button to select on or off and then push the Mode button to go to the next function.- Next will be to select 12hour or 24hour time by using the ST/STP button then press the Mode button to set the Hour, Minutes, and Seconds.- Continue to set the year but when you get to the Month/Day you have the option of putting the day first then the month, use the ST/STP to select then push the Mode button to enter the month and day.- When satisfied with your settings push the SET button and your done. Time 2 Setting:- Press and hold the ST/STP button it will say Time 2 and then go away only showing the time and date for Time 2- To adjust this time to another time zone you push and hold the SET button.- Use the ST/STP button and the RESET button to move ahead or behind in hours depending on time zone. Push the SET button when done.-Your time 2 is set for a different time zone and your Time 1 is set for your local time. Remember to use the ST/STP button to go back and forth from Time 1 to Time 2.
If you left your watch in direct sunlight, there should be just 6-8 hours enough to recharge it. If there was no direct sunlight, it may take up to a week to revoke your watch. This corresponds only to watches powered by light. The energy cell in those watches is called capacitor, not battery.
If you are not sure what type of cell your watch has, leave it for a few days more in bright lightened place and then see if it works. If it does not - replace the capacitor (or battery if your watch isn't powered by light).
