Hi Jim: It may not be a good idea to adjust the watch so that the frequency is spot on at the time the adjustment is made. A better idea may be to wear the watch for a week and note the fractional time error then adjust the frequency so the offset matches the error. Have Fun, Brooke Clarke

Hi Brooke, I've adjusted the watch as best I can within the limitations of the trimmer. The waveform was drifting 10 microseconds (slow) in about 20 seconds and so this should come out to 1 second in 23 days. I have now set the watch accurately and will follow it's progress. I plan to see how

Fellow time-nuts. Over in another part of the internet is a group of people who love their Casio G-Shock watches. These digital watches have been around for decades and are built very well. The one I own is an atomic and solar model (i.e. no battery replacement). However being in Tasmania, I

Interestingly, the module has a pad that gives off a stepped square wave at 32768/48 Hz. So with well calibrated equipment (which we all have of course) it is trivial to adjust the trimmer to put the watch back to decent accuracy. Using the smallest adjustment of the trimmer that I could

Referring to the post with the mechanical procedure, you determine the offset over a couple of weeks. When you open the watch to adjust it, you apply the offset to whatever frequency you find when you open the watch. I don't wear a watch when I sleep, and that becomes part of the offset to be
