By chance are you switching between functions a lot? I noticed some odd alignment of hands, usually when I don't allow the next function to adjust completely before moving on to something else, or cancelling. If I am in a function where the hands need to align to something, say like the alarm time, and I interrupt it, or cancel it....viola sometimes I get an alignment issue. (By sometimes, I mean its happen twice in the last few months of ownership - GPW1000T) I don't feel there is anything wrong with the watch, just my impatience.

 

Well, another issue with analog casio?Want to say ''what a surprise ", but is not now this days.

 

lucky guy! a cheap casio with the accuracy of an expensive mechanical! ppl pay alot of money for that same privilege :-!

 

Not really no, what ive been doing recently is resetting the H-SET and then simply putting the watch away and using other ones for a few days and then i come back and its off

 

haha! its still accurate the second hand is just screwed haha

 

What model is your Waveceptor?

 

WVA-M640 is the model

 

In timekeeping mode, press the C button (4 o'clock button) to display the current second in the LCD. Is your second hand matching the digital second? If yes and they match, there's no problem. If it's off from the reference time, you just need to adjust it to the reference time. If no they don't match, then your second hand is off. Since you've already tried H.Set, the only thing left is to send it for factory repair.

Hey geekmaster, they do not compare, i checked this aswell beforehand, i found that the seconds in the digital time are correct but seconds in the analogue are off

 

Not sure if it's coincidence, but the previous model WVA-320 also had a similar issue. I ended up sending it back to Casio for repair.

Looks like that will have to be the case for me, anyone know the warranty for these watches? ive had it almost 2 years

 

Yeah its tough, its a 2year warranty and i think im just in it still but i did buy my watch overseas in europe so i think a repair under warranty might be out of the question either way. Looks like ill be using my new citizen much more then.

Thanks for all the help everyone, might call casio still and see if i can get a quote but will most likely just leave it be.

 

cant hurt to give casio a call but they are rather strict with warranties. if it is just a cheapy it might not be worth repairing. as mr. wit said, if you can get your head around it as being broken and think of it more as a beater that you don tneed to worry about you could save unnecessary wear on your "good" watches. or you could do whats really in your heart and just buy a new G

 

or, just learn to ignore the second had while working and use the digi, and save the wear and tear on the Citizen.

 

thats very true, just internally ill always be crying that its not perfect

 

I have had this happen on my OCW-S100 twice during one week, and then it never happened again (going on a year now). It started happening when the watch was receiving the radio signal, and I picked it up not realizing what it's doing, and thought it stopped. I started pressing the button and pulling and rotating the crown, and after that it happened - precisely what mttogo is describing. What I know I've done during twiddling with the watch at that moment is that I disabled the auto-receiving of the radio signal. I did H-sync once, then the next day it went out of sync again. Third day, I did H-sync again, re-enabled the auto-receive for the radio, and left the watch whole day in the sun to make sure the battery is charged. Since then, it's worked perfectly, and I think I'm not going to be disturbing it while it's receiving the radio signal anymore.

 

I have a casio waveceotor model wva-

I have a casio waveceptor wva-430 TE module 3354

I have a casio wva 430TE module 3354 & my second hand started randomly drifting off up to 30secs although the minute hour & digital time remained spot on atomic time.
I think might be caused by putting near pure bug radio speakers at night as since reset & keep away from speakers magnetism the second hand has stayed exactly synchronised for 3 days now.
