The analog portion of my Casio watch has a problem. The hour hand is lagging. Ex at exactly 3:00 the hour hand will not be on 3 it will be at about the 14 minute mark. Can you help? I recall my Citizen watch enabled me to adjust the hour hand by pressing a combination of buttons and the stem. But that was a more expensive chronograph. Perhaps this Casio (model 2701) will require the removal of the crystal to do it. What do you think?

You have to know that analog time "follows" digital time.Any hour/minutes correction on the display has direct effect on time/minutes hands.Some times, mostly after battery replacement,hands might have declination.That is why there is a function so called "Hands home position adjustment".Using this function you can align both hands to 12/00 position.If there is any declination (I think is your case) you can correct.Try to enable this function by pressing for 4-5 sec the upper left button(A) until "HAND SET" appears.If hands are not aligned exactly to 12/00 position, you must correct by pressing the lower right button (D) for forward movement or the upper right button (B) for backward movement.In fact, minutes hand is aligned,hour hand follows.When both hands are set to 12/00 (home position) press button A again.Time Mode returns to the display.Normally hands will now show exactly according to digital (display) time.I hope this will help.

Some watches can display dual times (two values) usually off by an integer number of hours + 30 minutes, Read the manual to set the digital display time then correct the analog display. Or just use one of the two.

Setting Digital Time

1. The digital timepiece on a watch is set using the function buttons on the outer part of the watch face. To set the digital time, press and hold the upper left button until the seconds starts blinking. Press the lower right button to reset the seconds to "00."
   
   Push the lower left button to move to the Daylight Savings Time portion of the watch. Use the lower right button to toggle between "On" and "OFF."
   
   Press the lower left button twice. The hours unit will start blinking. To advance the hour, press the lower right button repeatedly until the correct hour is displayed. If you need to move the hours unit backwards, press the middle right button until the correct hour is displayed. When the hour is set, press the lower left button to switch to minutes, and use the same commands to change the minutes unit.
   
   After the time is set, press the upper left button to exit the digital time setting function.
Setting Analog Time
2. You may find after setting the digital timepiece that the analog display does not match. When this occurs, you need to set the analog time. To set the analog time, press the lower left button 6 times. Next, press and hold the upper left button until the digital time starts to blink. This indicates that you are in analog time setting mode.
   
   Analog time adjustment is completed using the lower right button. Every time you press the button, the analog time will advance 20 seconds. If you need to make a big change to the analog time, press and hold the lower right button to make the hands move faster. Once the analog time is set, press the upper left button to exit the analog time setting mode.

Are the hands moving but out of step with the digital display?

If so then try pressing the "mode" button to reach a mode that allows you to set the hands (on my Casio it is "HS"), I would expect something similar on yours.

You can then alter the hands by pressing one of the other buttons. I would expect one button to advance the hands and another to ****** them.

Happy experimenting!

The analog clock hands on the Casio 2747 will only turn in a clockwise direction, but there is a way to speed them up when you have to move them far around the watch face.

1. In Timekeeping mode (i.e. Date is shown in the digital display), push button "C" (bottom-left) 6 times to enter Hand-Setting mode.
2. Hold down button "A" (top-left) until the digital time starts to flash.
3. Press button "D" (bottom-right) to advance the analog time by 20 seconds, and hold down button "D" for High-Speed.
4. Alternately, for High-Speed, press button "D" (bottom-right) and button "B" (top-right) together at the same time, and then let go. The hands will continue to move automatically. Press any button to stop them BEFORE they arrive at the desired time, then press button "D" several times to arrive at the time of your choosing.
5. Press button "A" (top-left) to exit.
6. Press button "C" (bottom-left) if you want to return to Timekeeping mode.

and go to the section "Adjusting the Home Position"

This is a "calibration" procedure to get the motor of the analog movement back to the home position of 12:00. This worked for me, after replacing the battery.

Note that in this procedure the hour hand does not move separately, but moves with the minute hand. So to get the hour hand to move, you have to let the minute hand spin a number of times until you get the hour hand up to twelve o'clock.

A Benrus advance is not a Casio PRG-60T Tough Solar Protrek watch. You posted your query in the wrong place.

Here is how you do it:

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.

thats because analog watches don't know the difference between AM/PM. First reset the time, moving the hour and minute hands another 12 hours will let you know exactly what mode its in (am/pm) first allowing you to set the date correctly.
