Misplaced my instruction manual - need to reset all after battery replacement - it's been a great watch

Look for a reset, check the instructions

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!

Hi, According to your problem first make sure that the battery that you have changed is OK, or try another battery. Your watch need a factory reset. If normal factory reseting doesn't solve your problem then you have to repair the machine.

This watch needs to be sent back to the factory to get the movement replaced. I am doing this for the second time in 4 years. Citizen Europe states it's a defective design. The watch goes into dive mode with sweat, humidity and washing your hands. The water sensor tells the computer it's gone diving but the pressure sensor isn't telling it the same thing which causes a fault with the computer. I was told to cover the water sensor with WAX by the factory repair facility. WAX on a $400 dive watch. Great. They shold have used the pressure sensor to initiate dive mode. Customer Service said it wasn't defective, so it was designed to need this part everytime the battery has to bre replace.

Use the numbers on the back of your watch and you will have a PDF version of your instruction manual.

Hope this tip helps

The riseman can be reset but also needs to be calibrated. Your instruction manual will walk you through calibrating your altimeter.
If you have misplaced your manual you can download a manual from Casio's website.

How do I reset watch after changing battery?

Here's the inside of my Timex Expedition Dive watch. To reset the watch after replacing the battery, press down with a small screw driver on the metal tab that the red arrow is pointing to.
