I have this Seiko watch and really enjoyed it until the battery died and I replaced it. Now I can not get the watch to run in normal mode. It will do the stop watch watch function, the alarm works but the second hand will not run like I said, in normal mode. I tried shorting the + of the battery to the indicated pin in the above description. It is almost impossible to avoid touching the case while inserting a small paper clip to touch the recessed pin, is this where I'm not able to reset the watch? HELP!!!

Yes, the battery is fresh and correct #, it would not run in normal time keeping mode from the start, but the other functions work fine with the push buttons. Did the reset with the shorting pin, still will not run in normal mode. It's a shame this watch poses so many issues related to just changing the battery, seems like a bad design to me and a big disappointment. Leads me to stay away from Seiko in the future.
