If this is the same as my watch, it's solar powered and when it gets TOO LOW< it will blank out and begin to charge .  Stick it in direct sunlight for a day if you can.  You can also stick it under a regualr lamp, but it will never get fully charged, but it should be enough to operate at least.  The battery meter is the top middle dial on the face.

Casio pathfinder battery operated watch keeps blanking out display?

Your watch is solar powered, so I think it isn't charged lately. At a low charge, the watch goes into saving mode by switching off the display (while keeping the time, date, etc.). To charge the watch leave it in a brightly lit spot for a day or two. That should be enough to make the watch function as normal again.

Hello there.

As you can see in the picture, it takes some time to charge the watch up 100%. If you are charging the watch indoors, then it will take 126 hours. The best thing to do would be leave it in sunlight for up to 6hours and the charge should come back fine.

The screen on the igucci watch went blank and the only thing on is the light.

It's not the battery. It maybe the TM0501 board. GUCCI will charge you $450 to fix.

My Casio Gw-300 G- Shock watch face intermittently goes blank altogether. Immediately prior, the solar battery shows a full charge, (in addition, the back-light battery is less than a year old). When the...

From your description the solar cell charges the battery and keeps it topped up. I think the rechargeable battery is the problem because when the screen goes blank the battery level drops to low and the LCD blanks out which would explain the intermittent operation of the watch. I think it is worth getting it checked out with an estimate.

How to set pokemon c wrist watch?

Hold down the two right buttons. A screen will eventually appear showing the watch's current time with the hour number flashing. Use the top right button to scroll through the numbers, and push the bottom right button to set the number. After you set the time, then the date screen will show with the watch's current date, with the month number flashing. Same buttons do the same thing here.

I am trying to reset my T Touch watch from Tissot and can not find book. need to reset time and also how to convert from metric to US standards, like ferinhit and from meters to feet.

SET TIME:
1. Activate Crystal
2. Tap center of screen until digital time comes up
3. Press and hold top button (+) until watch beeps, display will be flashing
4. Use + and – key to adjust time. If several hours off, hold appropriate key and
after first hour passes, only the hour hand will move.
5. Make sure the digital display shows A or P for AM or PM
6. When finished, touch center of screen again.

SET DATE:
1. Activate Crystal
2. Tap center of screen until date appears
3. Press and hold top + button until watch beeps and display flashes.
4. Use + and – buttons to change date to correct one.
5. Make sure to set time first, if you set date first, you run the risk of the date
changing at noon rather than midnight.
