修理之後 (after repair)

8/30/2010 送 CASIO 美西岸維修中心TimeMachine, 十一月底收到手錶

以前手錶會停的毛病已改正. 據了解錶心已經換了. 但新問題出現:

  1. 指針老是慢了數字大約一分鐘. 以下 video 顯示此毛病. 此錶具自動及手動H-SET來對齊指針及數字. 我使用自動H-SET作校正, 但仍無法對齊. 在以下 video 我使用手動H-SET. 此方法有效. 第1數字時間(Los Angeles time)和指針完全對齊. 但對齊後第2數字時間(UTC time)卻慢了. 第2數字慢的時間大約是我手動H-SET所花的時間. 這表示在H-SET時, 第2數字時間沒有在走.



  2. 第1數字時間和指針完全對齊無法超過一小時. 這是因為此錶具 TOUGH MVT 功能. 此功能在每小時55分自動對齊第1數字時間及指針. 現在第1數字時間和指針已經完全對齊, 但 TOUGH MVT 在55分時自動調慢指針, 導致指針仍慢了數字大約一分鐘. 這表示手動H-SET的對齊只是暫時的. 以下 video 顯示此毛病



  3. 送修前太陽能電池是滿的, 但送修後太陽能電池永遠無法充滿, 僅管長期日曬及燈照

Casio Oceanus is not a good watch

I purchased a Casio Oceanus OCW-T400TD-1A in Taiwan at the end of May, 2010.
Immediately after arriving home in San Diego, the watch stopped working.
Below is a summary of the problems:

1. The hands of the watch would stop frequently for no reason  (even with power saving turned off).


2. The hands of the watch move but slow. 

3. The hands of the watch would move after stopping for a long time, but tough-movement sometimes cannot correct the incorrect minute-hand position. Hour-hand is always wrong after stoppage.

The main motor driving the hour and minute hands is definitely defective. The slow/stops have been observed in various environments other than my place, such as during business trips in China, at office, on the airplane ...  

The Casio Taiwan, and the watch store "Formosa Watch" did not want to provide me with a refund or replacement. Although they said they can see if it can be fixed, but they were unwilling to send the "repaired watch" back to me even if I send it to them.

Please help!
