what about the after battery replacement short circuit to reset it? that’s the hard part that totally is unclear!
With a magnifying glass there is RESET written with a small diamond [THE ARROW] at one part of the back under the battery, On the side there is a slot that you put a piece of flat metal, small tipped screwdriver, into it. This will touch the contacts inside to reset the watch.
what about the post battery replacement short circuit reset?! that’s the hard part that’s completely unclear and confusing!
my comments don’t seem to be working.
I agree that these instructions are very deficient when describing how to reset the battery. I just spent 1/2 hour resetting an Amitron MD0699. One is supposed to bridge about a 2 mm gap between 2 vertical bands of metal. The space to approach this is very small. A normal paper clip tip is too narrow for this purpose. A large metallic paper clip tip might work, but you will have to prove that the metal is conductive. My micro screwdriver set didn’t work; I didn’t realize the metal was non conductive til I tested it with an electrometer. In the end, the electrometer tip was just the right size. I reassuring little chime rang when the reset occurs. All these little fine points would have made the original post useful.
