La Crosse Watches - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

you can get the crystal off, but not back on. There is a special tool that is used to compress the crystal to make it fit in the bezel. Besides, if a piece chipped off, it is no longer waterproof. Take it to a jeweler and he can put a new crystal on in no time. Crystals are not expensive.

If your numbers dim when you push any button, it's probably a battery. If your numbers are off or very faint same problem, battery. Those watches take a 1.50 V cell because of the light, and multi functions. Any decent jewelry store should be able to have you in and out in 10 minutes or sooner. Good luck, gabe.

try holding down on one of the set pins for 2 to 5 seconds, then let off. some watches wont reset unless you do that.

when you have an expensive watch, take it to a jeweler or, to a pawn shop. Many pawn shops change batteries, and are cheaper than jewelers. Always ask for price first.

This is the model with the exposed button on the right side. The back does not come off, but the front does! If you use a loop you may be able to see a notch between 7 and 9 O'clock. Be very careful because the gasket keeping the watch water resistant is right there. You do not want to harm it. I put the watch in a holder and place a very thin jewelers screw drive on the side. With a jewels hammer I tap lightly until the front comes off. You must then carefully remove the movement from the case and not touch the hands. In order to close the watch after battery replacement, a watch press is a must. Without the press, you won't get the watch closed. The manufacturer suggests taking the watch to a qualified professional. You can send it to the manufacturer as well and they will change the battery for you. The Manufacturer is La Crosse Technology in La Crosse Wisconsin.

If it has a screw on back you will need a special tool, but if not just a small knife will do it

Contact Festina [email protected] they dont post PDF files to their site but they are usually pretty good about getting customers owners manuals. .

No, just set properly. This watch is very difficult to set. A watchmaker may be able to help you. The instructions are not very clear. You might try a watchmaker for assistance or try calling them although I have not had much luck along those lines.

well shane this is ur daughter speaking i say give it bakk

Hello,
There are a couple La Crosse 967 watches available on eBay. http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=la+crosse+967&_sacat=0&_odkw=la+crosse+967s&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
If the watch doesn't come with the type of band you need, you could always bring it to a jeweller as they may be able to match you up with a compatible band for the watch.

There is no way to change the date manualy on the watch. It is done by radio waves. Please read below.. If you need the manual go to the link below.

The atomic watch's internal computer processes the

received time signals and automatically synchronizes

the hands, date and the change over between daylight

saving time and standard time as well as the leap year

accordingly. The signal reception and synchronization

occur automatically every night and manually upon
demand.

thanks for using fixya

the maker claims setting to be automatic!

The signals for Casio watches are sent out during the night, so I would assume that your watch will be the same.

Do nothing and wait till tommorow!

If nothing happens, then go to http://www.lacrossetechnology.com/support/manuals.php and select the manual from the list.

The back does not come off (case is in one piece); it's the bezel -- the metal rim that holds the front glass crystal.

There is a small notch in the rim of the bezel (on mine, this aligned with the 'lower left' lug on the case around 7:00 on the face). Be careful as there is an O-ring to waterproof the watch, and this notch goes right into the groove where that O-ring is located. Use a case knife or similar stiff but fairly thin-edge blade to pop the bezel off (it snaps off). Then gently remove the outer plastic ring, noting carefully how the notches are aligned.

The inner module now can be lifted carefully out - the two 'pushers' will not fall out of the case when you do this. The battery is a 3V lithium CR2025, and you will need a fairly small straight-blade jeweler's or optician's style screwdriver to remove the one screw that holds down the battery bracket - it may be tempting to bend this out of the way to change the battery, but please resist that temptation...

Put the module back in the base, put the ring back over the dial plate, and carefully snap the bezel back in place with its notch aligned as you found it. You might want to check and/or lubricate the O-ring as you do this.

Instructions for initializing the movement are printed inside the case: they list the switch for the 'recessed' button as A, and the pusher as B. In case you didn't note them before closing the case: to reset:

1) push A once. (Display will read "SET"
2) Push A until hands are exactly on 12:00 (and display reads "12"
3) Push B once to start reception

You then follow the standard procedure of putting the watch in a window facing Fort Collins, Colorado, until it picks up the time signal and synchronizes itself.

If you need more assistance with the physical module, there is contact information on it from its manufacturer:

Model number on my module is AR600 WWVB (37.5mm)

I don't know what the problem is but the most common problem is a poor reception area. Yep, just like your tv used to have problems picking up that distant signal, so can your watch. The solution is the same for both problems. Get your watch into a better reception area. The signal is a relatively weak AM radio signal coming from Colorado Springs, Colorado. Find the least obstructed spot you can to place your watch, for example, if you live in Seattle, place the watch in a east facing window that doesn't have a building or mountain or some obstruction the radio waves will have trouble with and turm on the function in your watch that searches for the signal or if you don't know how to do that, leave it in the window over night. Other things like cloud cover and meteorlogical events can also affect the signal strength.
Alas, you may also have a watch problem for which I have no idea. Good luck, Michael, Watchmaker to the Stars!

You will need to take this watch in to a local Certified Master Horologist. It will have to be opened and reset from the inside by shorting the appropriate contacts on the movement. It may also require a battery to operate properly, if it has not been replaced in the past 1-2 years.

If you wear this watch in the water, you need to have it pressure tested to ensure its resistance after the procedure. This is properly done with a pressure testing machine that usually is found at Horologist / Watchmaker shops only.

With most dual display watches there will be times when the hands need to be aligned with the digital display, so you need the isntructions for your watch.
