Troubleshooting

• Watch Display is Blank:

  This usually indicates a depleted battery. Replace the battery as described in the Maintenance section.

• Time is Incorrect:

  Follow the "Setting the Time" instructions in the Operating Instructions section to reset the time. If the time consistently loses accuracy, the battery may be very low or require replacement.
