My Casio Wave Ceptor 3054 has started resetting to 12:00, 1/1/05 at random times. Why?

Check out this link: you have to scroll to the bottom of the screen to find the 'Next Page' to click on and progress through the manual

Try this:-

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

This same problem (watch resetting to 1/1/205) has happened to me 2x now, about 2 months or so apart.

I have had this watch for ~10+ years now, and works perfectly.

I have replaced the battery 2x.

Again, the watch works great.

I just realized that in the .pdf manual, there is no indication for a "low-battery" condition.

I am guessing that the "low-battery" is what is causing the watch to reset the date/time to 1/1/2005.

Any others having this same problem if this watch resetting to 1/1/2005 after the watch has run just great (auto time syncing, etc.)?

This watch Keeps great time!

The correct time zone setting for Arizona on this watch is YEA (Edmonton International Airport). Hold the adjust button for several seconds until the three code time zone starts flashing, then use the forward/back buttons to select YEA.You need to keep the DST mode off, so press mode once, then the forward button to select off in the DST select screen. From there, you can then press mode to manually adjust each time/date area individually. The final thing that you can adjust is the language, choose ENG for english. Press adjust to keep your settings, and you should be good to go.

go to www.casio.co.uk go to support(methinks??) click on watches and put in the model number (the one you posted) and download the PDF manual relating to your watch (you will need adobe reader free download to read PDFs), this will be the full manual, once you figure it out DST will have to be on, as its summertime of course. ( i bought a wave ceptor for a fiver because the guy who had it didnt know how to recalibrate it after a battery change), a quick gander at the online manual put it right, there shouldnt be a problem setting it up again, good luck

I have the same watch and thought I had the same problem. Casio's website actually DOES have the downloadable manual for this watch in their Support section, though it's kind of burried in their "Watch Manual Archives" section. Try to copy this address into your browser: http://world.casio.com/wat/download/en/manual/ FYI, the manual number you'll need to search for is shown in a rectangle on the back of the watch. In my case it was # 3054. When I downloaded the manual and read it, I learned how to confirm auto-updating is activated, and how to do manual updating. In my case, I was trying it from too far inside my house with a weak signal. When I set all of the settings as described and placed the watch in the window with 12:00 pointing outside as shown in their diagrams, the manual update feature worked like a champ. I also learned about a couple of other neat features hidden in the watch. Too bad the manual didn't come with the watch when I bought it; it would have saved me lots of frustration. Hope this helps you!

Check to see if the watch is set up to get its time from another country. You may find that the fault started with a battery change or an all reset of the watch. The default location for many of these models is for North America or Asia. In some models the location is not active until it is set. In different parts of the world, they are using different time set protocols. There are some technical reasons for this.

Check the instructions about setting the time zone for the watch. Pay particular attention to the time zone setting, location setting, and that the feature is turned on in the first place.
