No solution. I just tried to change my battery yesterday and am receiving the same message. If I get a resolution I'll post it. Just wanted to let you know you're NOT alone!
A replacement watch band may cost as little as $10 and a replacement battery may cost as little as $2. However, if you do not have the right tools or do not feel comfortable performing this service by yourself, expect to pay $5-10 to have your battery changed by a professional. Band replacement may or may not be included in the band purchase price. Retail prices for most metal bands are higher than the price for lower-end leather bands, but premium leather bands may cost upwards of $20.
For the most reasonable price, try looking for a watch kiosk at your favorite shopping mall. Some Walmart jewelry counters will also provide this service. A full-service jewelery store should also be able to provide this service, though at a higher price.
mcdevito75 here, I would see the jeweler who installed the new batteries and ask to have the battery install double checked so they are makeing proper contact with the LCD movement. In the meantime you can try to hold down the MODE button for a few seconds and see if the display appears, also if the display screen has turned very dark, your Casio may have had it, as the LCD display could have gone bad. New batteries should bring up a display even after the watch has been stored. Hopefully the display is still a grayish color and the new batteries need re-alignment.
I brought mine to a local jeweler. Very inexpensive and no worries about breaking the watch or losing a piece. He only charged me for the battery. A few bucks and well worth it. I need a new band for mine now. Called Seiko in NJ. The style is no longer made and they want me to mail it in to the discontinued parts dept to see what they may have to fit. I'm nervous about sending it but don't see another option. I Love this watch and the soft comfortable band
Best bet is to start by replacing the battery. At 8 months it'll be due for one soon anyway and a new battery may "reboot" it so it runs again. As a battery wears out it doesn't just stop, it may still maintain the display even though it stops keeping time. Also, new "e-ink" displays require no power to maintain the display 0 only to change it.
Take the watch with the broken watchband and place it on the table. With a ruler, measure the width of the broken band at the point where it is attached to the watch. Now, measure the total length of the watchband when it is in one piece and fits around your wrist. There will be a crease on the band where it is normally buckled.
Step 2
Go to the local store and select a band that you like. You should make sure that the width of the band at the point of attachment to the watch is the same as the old band. Also make sure that the new band will be long enough and not too long to fit your wrist. Purchase the band and return home to change the band.
Step 3
Clear a spot to work and make sure that there is a small towel covering the table top so that you can see anything that may drop or pop out during the process of changing the band.
Step 4
Use a magnifying glass to look at the point where one side of the band is attached to the watch. You will see a small pin connecting the band to the watch on either side of the band. Carefully use the jeweler's screwdriver to depress the spring loaded pin from the watch to the band and release it from the watch. When the tension on the spring pin is released it may pop out of the band and you will want to take care not to lose it. Repeat this process with the other half of the band.
Step 5
Take the new band and slip the spring pins into the small holes on the end of the band where it will attach to the watch. Working with one end at a time, slip one side into the pin hole in the watch body.
Step 6
Use the jeweler's screwdriver to depress the other side of the spring pin and guide it into the pin hole in the other side of the watch body. Repeat this process with the other half of the watchband and other spring pin. You now have a new band for your broken one.
It can be done and not too difficult i think but look out that the leather band ain't too wide for the band orginal place,
make sure you keep all original parts in case of toruble
Post a photo if you can after the change will be nice to see the change
