2 weeks on and no problem, passed through to daylight saving time
automatically yesterday. So perhaps cleaning battery contact points, and
bending contact metal is all that was wrong. Otherwise leaving out the
piezo spring contact-unlikely or close-handling , the big unknown

3 months on of normal 24/7 use and no problem to report.
If it ain't broke, don't poke: replacement battery and disconnected spring
contact remain on the outside.
I have had 2 of the Casios. Both of them failed when the case broke.On Sun, 17 Jun 2018, N_Cook wrote:

I have a Waveceptor, don't know the module number, but it's "solar
powered". I don't use the backlight much, but what I remember is I got
it in the spring of 2006, and it's still running fine on the first
battery. At one time, I accidentally activated the function where if you
move the watch at a certain angle the backlight comes on, no need to
press a button. Before I figured out how to reset that, the "battery
indicator" was down one bar, I think the only time it's never been at
"full power". I paid about 20 dollars for it, wanting the "atomic watch"
aspect, but it's nice not to have to change the battery. I know on my
previous Casio, somehow the replacement battery lasted a very short
time, and then the strap broke, so I abandoned it, rather than buy a
second battery so soon on top of needing a new strap.

I have a wave ceptor and the tiny antenna has separated from the indentation in the frame of the watch (my fault). Do you know if thereâs any way of fixing this.

From what I remember of the inside of mine (no problem with it since
cleaning battery and contacts and slightly bending the contacts).
Hopefully the wire of the antenna is not work/age hardened soits
possible to unwind 1/2? turns to give scope to solder back, difficult to
believe 1or2 turns less would affect reception too much.

I've always thought the antenna was part of a tuned circuit (tuned to
exactly 60 kHz). Are you sure 1 or 2 turns wouldn't affect that
tuning?
