Hour and second hands on my Casio Wave Ceptor watch appear to have frozen

Try this:-

First set the watch to 24 hour format rather than 12 hour format.

It is set on daylight saving mode, english summer one hour forward.

instructions from the Casio web site.

Go to the casio web site "casio.com".

Select "support" and the "manuals",
watches;

Accept terms

Select "watch manual archive"

Read the number of the back of your watch and enter it into the search box

You should be able to set your "home"city to give you the correct time but if it is an hour out, then it may be giving DST when it shouldn't (or conversely not giving DST when it should).

You can also se the hand to agree with the digital clock. The instructions are too long to write here but if you haven't go the instructions, you can get them by going to the Casio web site.

Enter "casio.com", select "support", then watches, accept the termd snd then select "watch manual archive".

Read the required number off the back of your watch and enter it into the search box. Click on "search" to obtain your instructions.

I was able to solve the problem by downloadsing a manual.

If the watch is running try to sync the watch 1st, meaning set the minute and hour hands pointing to 12:00 o'clock. before you go to set the time.

You need to manually adjust or set the hands to the home position as they are not where the watch thinks they should be. This can happen when you bring your watch close to a strong magnetic field. Look in the manual to do this. Afterwards your watch should set to the correct time.

If DST is set to AUTO,time (DST ON-DST OFF) is corrected automatically when the watch is synchronized.
Synchronization period (Radiocontrol) from 00:00 until 06:00.
If you live in an area where atomic signal cannot be reached by the watch,you have to change DST-NORMAL and vv,manually,by going to WT (World Time) function and when your city (or the closest big one) appears on the display,press and keep pressed for 1-2sec the SET button.
DST mark will appear or disappear,accordingly.
