I have a PAW1500 and have had zero issues with it. On the face, there are small letters in the lower left part. What might be happening is that the watch is low on power. Throw it in a window for a day to recharge.

Mine has been under water, up to 115F, down to 0F, and covered in Off, sweat, mud, and oil. Not a single hiccup.

 

Leave it or wear it in the sun to charge for some hours/days. There probably isn't enough power left in the battery for those functions to work properly. Read here, LMH is mentioned: Casio GW9200-1 Operation Manual (Page 9 of 12)

 

I agree - not enough sunlight! Your watch runs on power from the sun, give it more!

HTH

 

I forgot to say this...he is at H, when i bought it, in the week that he had travelled, came with Mediul power. From that day on, is always on H...
Is a idea to discharge completely to have a "reset"?

 

does any "open " message appear on watch screen?if yes close it properly and reallign the watch springs with back plate where they contact the small golden plate
if no open message than ...
put the watch under some bright light source.24hrs atleast.

if it does not work try to reset the watch as written above.
if that does not work than get a new ctl1616 battery.it will probably do the job.

 

The problem still persist. No other idea?

 

Time is passing and no solution at my problem. Could be a solution changing the battery?

 

First thing to do would be a few days outside to gather enough light. My solar prg 550 and prg 270 needed 2 days towards the sky, in a window to go from M to H. If nothing changes you could try looking for a replacement rechargeable battery( CTL1616). They are not expensive and you can easily find on ebay or at local shops. If you proceed to change it yourself don`t forget to "hard-reset" the watch, by connecting the (-) pole with AC.
Alternatively, you can perform that hard reset without change the battery, to see if something is changing in behaviour.
Cheers!

Hi!

Could you be, please, more precise how to "hard-reset"? I didn't understand how to do this operation.

Thanks!

 

There is a possibility the seller put a non-rechargeable battery inside and it is getting weak.

I'd open it up and install a new CTL1616.

 

The "hard-reset" operation can be done only if you open the watch and gain access to the module. Near the battery there are some holes and one of them have the inscription 'AC'. If you make contact(with a wire or needle) between the back of the battery or the metal plate that is holding the battery and the visible yellow from the circuit board inside the hole, you perform the reset. Please be aware that this should be done by someone with experience in opening and successfully close back the watch. The gasket must be handled with care for preserving water resistance. You will also lose warranty. Proceed with care or go to a watch service and ask the guy to do it for you. Is not difficult for them so I guess will not charge much.
Hope this info is useful to you.
Cheers

I suggest you keep it in direct sun light for a couple of days. If the problem persists, take it to a watch repair shop if you are not sure about how to reset the watch or replace the battery.

 

Seems that the problem has been resolved by changing the battery. Now, i don't know if performing a "hard-reset" or really changing the battery had resolved my problem.


So, in future, if somebody encounters a problem like mine, and if putting the watch to direct sunlight does not resolve the problem, a option is to replace the 1616 battery.

Thanks for advices!
Best regards!
