I am trying to figure out how to change the background of this watch. It says just push the button but when i do nothing happens. Anything i haven't been doing correctly

You can use glow in the dark paint for numbers so they will glow too. Not sure if it will look that good but check out glow in the dark paint reviews and maybe go get some to try it out. I just don't really get it, why you want to change something. I mean, those watches look good enough in my opinion. Anyway, if you are a DIY enthusiast, you may enjoy the process of modifying the watch.

If you can't figure out how to change a strap, take it to a watch shoip for them to do it for you.

Use tweesters to touch both "+" and "s2" point can change that.

you have to use a pen to push in the little holes in the back, A will change to the month and the day and then the hour and the minutes when you push it in.M changes the hours and minutes and dates. Then you push A again to set it. when you are done the sports logo will flash for every second.Can't figure out how to switch from time to date and back ones it is set, without having to take off the watch and having to push the little holes again. ( :

You cannot change the light. It is an electro-luminescence layer behind the display. It is something like a large LED. They are designed to not be very bright to save battery life. I have a number of Casio watches. They are all not very bright. Also the non silver background type watches tend to be much darker than the silver background with black symbols.

You should be able to solve this by pulling out the Crown(the one with which you set your normal clock), Pull it out in the 2nd stand.
Then by pushing the 'start/stop' button --> you change the minutes.
By pushing the 'lap/reset' button --> you change the seconds

It worked for me, took me a few minutes to figure it out, i hope this saves others the time of doing that :p

Possibly you can change it back by pushing the hour-setting button through a 24 hour cycle--you can see if you are on military time during the PM part of setting it. If it's on military, just keep pushing till you start over at 12 am again (hint: that's 0:00 in military.) At least, that's how it is on my watch.

It sounds like the reset button on the inside was not pushed. There is a small reset button on the inside. Bring it back to a Fossil Store so that they can open the back and take it off. When you bring the watch back, tell the associate that you would like them to try resetting the watch from the inside.

I have the same watch- instructions are hard to find.

Do this: hold the mode button for a few seconds, until the alarm time blinks. Push mode again and the time will blink, then push st/stp to change to minutes or hours, and press adj. to change; press mode when you are all done.

Anyone know how to go from 24 hour (military) time to regular 12 hour am/pm time?

Hi, try this - it worked for me. Use a needle to poke the ends of the watch strap axel (at the end and running across the strap). This should then allow you to lit the silver panels at the top and bottom of the watch face off. The axel should then slide out. I did this by pushing one end of it through with a needle so that the other end poked out enough to pull it out with a paid of pliers.
