Casio Waveceptor Hand Alignment Fix

- Although it should be rare, it is possible that the hands on an analog/digital watch will drift out of alignment with the digital time display. If the analog time and the digital time don't match, there's a simple way to adjust the hands and bring them into sync again with the digital time.
In this video I demonstrate the hand realignment process. These instructions are specific to models of the Casio WVA-630 and WVA-640 watches or any other watch which might use Casio's Model 5161, like the Lineage LCW-M170 models. You can download the complete, official manual for Module 5161 from Casio's website.
These watches are shock resistant but it's still possible that extreme shocks, shaking, hard knocks, etc. can cause the hands to drift out of alignment. Another possible cause for an alignment problem might be that the watch has been exposed to strong magnetism. Have no fear. Just try this simple procedure then protect your watch from shocks and magnetism and, in almost all cases, you won't have an alignment problem again. If you're asking "Why don't the watch hands match the time?" or "Why are the analog hands out of sync?" or "Why are the hands off?" ...then maybe this video will help you. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Excellent video. One additional feature that I found while trying this is that if you hold down to lower right button a little longer the hand will start moving continously. This saves you a lot of pushes if you have to move the hands a long way.
This was SUCH an instructive video. The manual doubtlessly goes into this, but requires a lot of reading to get to; and even then not always clear. So a BIG thanks for showing how to do this.
BTW I accidentally discovered that you can easily move the hands 'fast', for doing the hours (mine was 1hr adrift on the digital versus analogue display), by HOLDING (depressing) the button used to move the hands incrementally (6 presses = 1min), and it suddenly moves automatically, and fast, which saves pressing the button 360 times to alter the hands by 1 hour. JUST before the hands move forwards or backwards (according to the + or - on the digital display) by one complete hour, quickly press it to exit the fast hand mode. Then adjust in the 6-increments per 1 minute manually.
Thanks again. I've given you the thumbs up, and subscribed to your channel (though perhaps won't be needed for a while, hopefully, if the watch keeps its hand alignment as expected). But my way of saying thank-you and showing due respect :-)
This is the most important video any Casio Waveceptor owner must watch because the watch is often out of alignment!
Only one of my watches had the hands go out of alignment on their own and it only happened once. But this fixed the problem.
Thanks Greg! I only had my watch a month - I loved it, but suddenly it was off. I was very frustrated. I was able to fix it with your super clear instructions!
Have that exact watch, out of alignment for 20 minutes. Remembered your show and got it back on track! Thank you, all your Casio vids are great.
Great advice. Mine had drifted by about 8 minutes and thought the watch was going wrong. Easily resolved with your video.
This video helped a lot, thanks! But as a tip, in the + or - 0 screen, you can actually hold that bottom right button down, and the hands will start move faster, and will stop when you let go of the button. If they don’t stop, they should after another quick press of the button
This video is a godsend. I packed my watch in the side compartment of my suitcase and thought I broke it. I even ordered a new one. I was able to adjust it, though. It went out of alignment again for no real reason and I fixed it again. Looks like I need to bookmark this vid. Thank you
This watch is the best. I have a second watch, the same model after I lost the first after a flawless 15 years. I remember I had to adjust my first watch and this video would help a lot at that time. Thanks
After trying a few other videos without quite understanding how to do it, I found this had very clear instructions and I was able to fix my 6 years old Casio Lineage at first try. Excellent video, thank you!
This awesome guy helped me correct the alignment on 2 of the three casios I recently purchased. The 3rd is a casio square with no hands to worry about, being fully digital, with bluetooth, so my phone just automatically makes sure everything is right with the watch.
Excellent video, was able to true up the hands on my Casio WVA-M630 in 5 minutes after watching. Thanks, Greg!
Excellent video. The fix worked on my approximately 6 year old Casio. The description is very clear. Thank you!
Thanks. I have this watch and wear it everyday but it was off by 6 seconds. It wasn't much but you know how us watch people are. I didn't realize this procedure existed until I ran across your video by accident. It's now perfect and I am in love with it all over again. Thank you so much for your helpful video.
Worked on a Casio Lineage M100TS that seems to have the same module! Thanks!
Edit one month later: the minute hand has already drifted back by about a minute again. It unfortunately seems like a chronic problem for my watch...
I had lost a little over one minute (over 8 years), now I gained the lost time! and now that my watch is adjusted back on time, I will be 1 minute late until I get adjusted to the new adjustment, all thx to you. great video!
WOW!! Thank you so much. After 10 years my watch which is exactly the one you demonstrated went about three and a half mins out of sync. Really had given up on it thinking it was time to get a new one. Then just thought give Google a try and led me to your video... problem solved. I love my watch so thanks so very much.
Thank for your efforts and excellent instruction. I just ordered my first MVA and was looking for more info. I find your uploads on this model very informative and easy to follow.
Wonderful video. I thought my lovely Casio was toast, but this was exactly what I needed to "fix" it. Very confusing when it first happens, and I still don't know how it got "out of sync". Thank you!
At last! This was the video I was hoping to find. Thank you so much.
Champion! Watched another video and got lost - watching yours one time and all done Thank you
Thank you for this video. The hands on my watch were 2 minutes slow and I couldn’t figure out a way to fix it till I saw your video. Thanks again!
Last night out of nowhere, the hands of my watch was 34 minutes off. This video saved me from a lot of trouble. Thx 🙏
Thanks
Really love these watches, unbelievable value, I have to adjust my daily watch about once a year but I do swim, bike, and do lots of diy and being clumsy in all modes doesn't help.
Thank you for this, left my watch in a drawer for about 4 years and it needed this!
This is amazing, I knew my watching was off but didn't think i could fix it ! You rock!!
I had the same problem, so I followed the step by step instructions (had to work to get all hands on the "12", but once that was done.............it worked brilliantly.
thank you for this video! I was holding a strong magnet with the same hand I wear the watch, and the seconds hand went off. So now I sync''d it back with your help.
Many thanks for that very useful video. Somehow, my second hand was out of sync with the digital seconds window and after your instructions it is now OK.
Thanks once again.
Brilliant. Thanks so much. Worked perfectly. With best wishes from London, England.
Yes! I can use my favourite watch again! Thank you so much :)
Great video. I'm a big Wave Ceptor fan. On my 3747 movement, from the time keeping mode, I had to press the lower left button (C) six times to get to Hand Setting mode, then upper left button (A) until the digital time started to flash, then adjust with the lower right (D).
Thank you very much! This great video solved my problem. I love my Casio waveceptor - about 6-7 years old. Whenever I am on a cruise and pass the expensive watch shops, I gloat that my $100 Casio keeps better time than the $3000 piece of bling they are trying to sell me!
Just brilliant. So thankful that you posted this video!
You are an excellent instructor. Thank you.
Thank you sorted out my watch today now both times match as they should have don't know what we would do without TH-cam top man Steve uk .
Hi Greg, done it like you showed it in your video, perfectly aligned now, thanks a lot!
Had that prob once after changeing a battery. Awesome vid 👍
Thanks Greg, great advise; I have this problem with my WVA-109-HE which I love because I check my automatic watches on their accuracy against it. The analog is out of sync and I had no idea how to fix it. Now, thanks to your video & helpfulness their is hope. Many thanks and I let you know if it worked for me.
thanks so much! I left my watch in the washing machine, and it experienced the same process with my clothes...washing, rotating, drying... it turns out the anolog is 5 min slower than the digital one, it makes me frustrated. Now i repaired it using you method, it works again, I love my watch..cool.😁
I have the green one on the left. Such a light weight watch. Thanks for the info. Thanks back to alignment. Btw I mostly use this watch to set my other ones. Great channel.
Thanks for this video. I have two types of Wave Ceptors that needed this adjustment.
Cheers pal great video and great fix! my watch is back running perfectly again!!
Excellent video. Thank you for taking your time to create this video.
Excellent help, thank you so much for great explanations!
Great video!!!!my watch now is on super right time both digital and analog display!!!thank you very much!!!
Thank you so much! I've had my watch for year and was bummed when I thought it was it was going in the trash.
It keeps happening on my waveceptor. But this works great. This is the only video I could find that fixes it. thanks!!
Thanks! Love this tutorial. Almost thought I lost the watch.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos🙂🙂🙂
Thank you so much for this instructive video. At the end of the video, my problem was solved!
Thought my watch was done for but I was able to fix it after watching this video. Thank you! . . . Next time I"ll check my pockets before doing laundry . . .
Thanks for the vid on this. Had this problem two times a good fix. Thanks
Excellent tip and video. Thanks so much.
Great video. I ordered 2 Casio Wave Cepter watches recently and am anxiously waiting for them to arrive. One is a blue stainless WVA-m640d and the other is a white Lineage LCW-M170TD with a titanium band. They seem like great watches. I hope they are.
Great video, that was a quick and easy fix!
very detailed and clear described thank you
Very helpful solve the problem. Thank you
Excellent helpful video, thanks for doing it.
Love you sir for the knowledge shared.
Fantastic video, exactly the info that I needed.
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this. So useful. 👍🏻
Greg, thanks very much for another very useful video. The watch you showed today is the only one I desire for my personal collection. That one, and maybe an Oceanus model, that I can't buy in Europe.
Thanks Greg, no panic!
Thank you so much!
Thank you! That was perfect.
good video, well explained, thanks!
Thank you Greg
Thank you for this. The clearest video I have found. Great watches but not user friendly. Great stuff.
Thank you, this was very helpful
Excellent - very well communicated, thank you
Thank you. the instructions are not clear but you talked me right thru it
Thanks so much, I unwittingly put my Wave Ceptor down right next to a large neodymium magnet! (my desk is extremely cluttered so it was hidden).
I sorted it out using this method ...annoyingly though, the hour hand is fractionally out but I guess I'll just have to live with that. Thumbs up/subbed.
Fixed. You are awesome thanks!
Thank you a lot!After changing my dead battery I don't need to open the Watch again to calibrate the Arms!Thank you!
worked perfectly thank you!
thank you very much, was a great help.
Thank you so much! It worked perfectly!
So useful thank you so much

Thank you for this, rather worried I would need a new watch having thought I had found my ideal.

Thank you sir !
Ok. Thank you
Good job thanks❤❤
Thanks a lot my boss!!
Thank you so very mutch 👌
Thanks 😊
Very helpfull 😊😊😊
New subscriber. I have been trying to figure out how to align the hands on my casio but failed. After watching your video....success !!!! Thank you sincerely. I also rang the bell but don't know what that does. I saw someone else request a bell ring on a different video?.lol
I'm glad the video helped you. I guess I'm too shy to routinely ask people to "like and subscribe" like other folks often do. I figure you'll like and subscribe anyway if the video is any good. What confuses me is when people hit the dislike button. I really have no way to know what it is about the video that they don't like. Oh, well. I also don't know what ringing the bell does but thanks for doing it!

I had the same problem, so I followed the step by step instructions (had to work to get all hands on the "12", but once that was done.............it worked brilliantly.
Wow - that is clever!
Thanks... watch out for the charging button dock for an Apple Watch I think that is what messed with mine.
Might be cautious for other magnetic charging tricks and tools for new phones.
