I have a Waveceptor 3353. If I change time zone I can usually set the watch to show ,say, Paris time both digitally and in analogue. When I try to go back to my home time zone, London, the second hand goes back to 12 but the minute & hour hands stay the same, i.e on Paris time. Digital time does go to home time zone. Also when daylight saving time occurs, the digital time changes but the analogue time does not. Casio tell me that this is how it should work! But I know it was capable of making all these changes automatically. Any ideas? Many thanks John Fox

Hi,
Casio are very good at providing manuals. I assume your model is the WVQ200HLA - if that's the case go to http://www.casio.com/products/watches/wave-ceptor/wvq200hla-7bv
and you'll see a link at the bottom of the page to download a PDF manual. If that's not the correct model, then go to

OK?

Changing time zone on the Casio Wave Ceptor WVA 430J

I have the casio 3353. When I read hte manual to do different things, it always startes the instruction by saying "in timekeeping mode". In the instuction booklet at page 8 it shows a picture of the watch face in timekeeping mode and in the picture the face shows the day and date. My face is showing the digital time here. How do I show the day and date,or the timekeeping mode?

You can use the manual to manually reset the time. After you succeed in setting UK time zone, wait until midgnigth: it should synchronize itself with the time signal from Germany. If unsuccessful to do so, it will keep attempting to synchronize itself at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Read the manual to figure out how to place the watch on a window sill. It might be better to be outside.
Keep in mind that the success of the operation depends on meteorological conditions.
Good Luck.

Go to the "citzenwatch.com" website

Select "technical support"

You will see "setting instructions", where you must enter details of your watch.

Since they have a "setting "selection, your problem seems to be a common one!

I assume that the display shows the correct time but the hand do not.
You can get instructions from the Casio web site.

Digital time must be set using pushbuttons on watch case sides. One of them is for MODE, another for SETTINGS.
Mode button usually must be held pushed in for a while to start to work and the digits should start to flash - only then you can start to reset your digital watch using another (settings) button.
Use small steal pin to push these buttons.
If nothing happens, you will have to consult your nearest watch repairer as in this case there is a mechanical or electronical fault.
Rating is very appreciated.

It is possible to set the main analogue hour and minute hand 30 minutes out of phase with the digital readout, but doing so will also put the analogue UTC dial 30 minutes off. It can be done by using a variation of the proceedure for zeroing the watch hands as follows: 1. Rotate the crown in its normal opering position to set the watch in chronograph mode (mode dial pointing to "chr") 2. Pull out the crown to the second click. This should cause all the hands on the watch to return to zero. "HR" should appear on the left-hand digital display. This will allow you to move the hour hand by twisting the crown. Advance it to about half way between the 12 o'clock and 1 o'clock positions. 3. Press the top button. "MIN" should appear in the left-hand digital display. This allows you to adjust the minute hand. Twist the crown to advance it to the 6 o'clock, or 30 minute, position. Note that this will also move the minute hand on the small UTC dial to the 30 minute position. 4. Press the crown back into its normal position. 5. Reset the digital time and date according to a time zone that is in a one-hour offset from UTC. This is not a perfect solution. Your digital readings will show the correct time for all one-hour offset time zones while your analogue nads are 30 minutes out of phase. Your small UTC dial will also be 30 minutes out of phase with the digital UTC. Hope this helps.
