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.

Manual doesn't help. I changed the battery but the watch is still not powering up.

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.

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.

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.

http://www.lacrossetechnology.com/eh23sa/manual.pdf Hi Bill click link this will explain in detail your question i think you will find it is automatic and sets itself ..but check instructions will tell you hope this helps

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

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.

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.

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!
