That's a good looking watch! Thanks for the share!

Thanks, DSD, but the forum says you can't accept any more messages... :)

Hi, I'm needing to change the battery on my PAW-1200T, and I don't want to pay the $70 that the local guy wants to charge for the work. I've removed the band, but the band connector that has the "Tough Solar" piece (12 o'clock position) does not want to come off like the opposite side did...

Looks like I'll just be sending my watch in for repair to the service center. I'll find out from them which direction this tab goes, and update the thread.

GA-200 Battery Replacement I am replacing the battery on my GA-200, and caused some unfortunate damage to my watch. There is a tab at the 3 o'clock position (as you look at the watch from the front) and I don't know if it's supposed to be pointing inward (under the plastic frame backer) or...

Final update on this, in case anyone is interested: The seller has refunded my money, in full. I will be destroying this watch so that no one else ever ends up with this fake.

OK, it's definitely a fake. It's a very good fake, but definitely a fake. Comparing the dial face against other pictures I've found on the net, the quality of what I have doesn't come close to the precision of a real one. The application of paint on the small dials is crude compared to the...

OK, mucking with it some more, it seems that the watch functions are rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise. Adjust (A) turns on the light and reverses, which is what Reverse (B) should do. Reverse (B) does what Forward should do. Etc. When I adjusted the time to 4:30 PM, the hands moved like...

Being impatient, I opened it up. I have a pit in my stomach at this point. Can anyone confirm if this is legitimate, or a fake?

I just received my new to me (used) GA-100. I'm a little concerned about its legitimacy, however. First, the painted notches on the face are not perfect. I can live with that, but when I tried to adjust the time, the A button (which should allow me to change time) triggered the light and...

A few hours in the sun with an overnight stay in the window, and I have an awesome, functioning watch! Love this thing! Also, I found a touch-up pen for the anodizing, so that will be coming soon. A black Sharpie just isn't permanent enough.

Newest addition to my arsenal. No battery (batteries?), yet, but I'll get this baby going!

I've read that I can send my watch to Casio for battery replacement, and that it's comparable to the cost of doing it myself. I would like to at least get a quote. Where do I go to find out? My web search did not return anything useful. Thanks!

Still Saturday, here...

Batteries are in. It works! Now I need to go through the manual and figure out how to adjust and calibrate it. I cleaned up the back side, too. Yuck, it was gross under the cover!
