Flashing numbers in squares

I have had my Accu Breck for over 3 years without any problems. Just the last 4 days the number in the squares started to flash. Also when the right bottom button is pressed after the chrono count is stopped, only the second hand (the long one) resets itself to 12 o'clock position, but not the minute or the hour hands. Can you help, does it need a new battery?

    I have the same issue. I took it to the local jewler and they said it might be a setting problem. The LCD display boxes actually still keep date and time, depending which one you pull up, but only the dial in the six o clock position works when you start the chronograph. I have no clue as to why the LCD displays started flashing and the bezel hands didn't stop keeping time until about 3 days after the LCD's started flashing.

Flashing Squares means battery going dead - time to replace. May take up to 3 months to stop.

I had the same problem. I took the watch to the jeweler I'd bought it from and he replaced the battery. The problem disappeared. Now if I could just locate the damned manual so I could reset the watch.

Can't set day of the week for armitron MD06117 mens watch

Purchased my Armitron men's digtal watch in 2009. Here's the twist on setting the name of the Day of the Week on my watch. When you get to the name of the Day of the Week flashing.. you don't get Su...Mo...Tu... You get 01..02..03... up through 99. (You think.. what the hell is this??) DON'T TRY TO SET Sun.. Mon.. etc here.. you won't find it. The puzzle solver..and it is.. IS TO SET THE LAST TWO DIGITS OF THE YEAR HERE.. Example... it is now 2010.. so scroll thru the numbers and set it to "10"!! Now.. when you go and set the numerical day date e.g. 3 for March, and set the numerical day - e.g. 15, the on-board computer?? in the watch will AUTOMATICALLY SET THE NAME OF THE WEEK!! It will look-up For Example.. in the year 2010.. 3-14 is SUN.. and will set it as that!! Hope this saves you some frustration. Regards... [email protected] (Mar 14, 2010)
