I finally discovered last month why my 50m Casio watch periodically "reset"
itself, after I took off my sweater and noticed that the watch read
12:00 midnight, Sunday, 1 January.
[I've owned this watch for four years, and I've seen it reset itself
"at random" at irregular intervals (mostly during the winter!) and even
scramble the "days of the week" display
(e.g., MU(nday), TE(sday), WH(sday), TR(sday), etc.) ].
Peace of mind at last.

Another potential diagnosis for others with similar problems: My Casio told me that its battery needed replacement by continuing to keep perfect time but turning the days of the week into Sonday, Muesday, Tednesday, Whursday, Triday, Faturday, Sunday (respectively). "It must be Whursday. I never could get the hang of Whursdays." -- --------------------- Chap Flack ihnp4!stolaf!agnes!flackc Carleton College ihnp4!stolaf!flackc Northfield, MN 55057

I finally noticed that it had the greatest tendency to act up on hot, muggy summer days (when I'd sweat a lot). -- --MKR If Man were meant to use the metric system, Jesus would have had 10 disciples.
