I’d been chatting with a friend, watch talk as usual and he told me he had ordered from a well known on-line shopping site, a G-Shock Casioak and sent me a picture. Last Sunday morning I was in my local shopping centre and saw one. I thought the one I saw was cheaper than his, but that turned out to be wrong, he paid £6 less. Even so, I bought it.
Back at home during the afternoon I decided to set it all up, 3 hours later it was back in its box, I’d had enough of that. I’ve said about the Seiko Speedtimer date being too small to read, the instructions for this were nearly as bad. Also I needed to stand in bright sunlight to be able to see and go through the settings on the watch. On first look at the watch I could see that it was showing the day as Thursday, and no matter how many times I went through the settings, it always remained as Thursday. Yesterday my friend had it delivered, it showed the right day, date and year.
Today I took mine out of the box again, the day pointer is now pointing into the middle of nowhere, so I decided to take it back to the store and explained everything. Pleasingly I saw the same person I’d bought it from, and they remembered me. So they tried themselves, and no way could they get it to go to the right day. They have been selling and setting up Casios for years.
A refund was offered. Instead I had some cheaper Casios off them in exchange, 5 in total. Some I might give away and others keep.
I’m sure someone will know how to reset the day when its gone out of sync, not me.
