The instructions are included from the manufacturer. The manual is also available online if you wish to preview the instructions before purchasing.

I wish I could tell you. It doesn't come with instructions and it's very frustrating. You just have to keep pressing the "set", "up" and "ok" buttons and watch what shows up on the read-out (which is VERY hard to read). If whatever starts blinking is correct, hit the "ok" button and move on. Once you get it programmed though, it works like a charm. Good luck!

Yes, it can be used as a stop watch. It will count up. It is very versatile.

I love the stopwatch so much I have purchased two so I can keep them in different gym bags. I have not found that the buttons are accidentally pressed. The stopwatch fits well in the hand during high intensity workouts. Batteries seems to last a long while.

Mine arrived without a manual too. Lucky for me, I saw a jeweler take the back off one of my watches so I figured it out. The only recommendation I have is www.youtube.com or search the net for info or an owner's manual. Good luck.

My read is that is a basic watch repair tool set (you are not making a watch but only doing basic work, removing bands, clips, replacing batteries etc.) and I think the seller expects most will have had some small experience using these types of tools. I found it faster and better explanations if you Google or YouTube use of a specific tool as that not only explains it but in much more detail.

Thanks s. McMillan! I figured it out. I needed to download the software and update the watch. Working great now and love it. Don't know how I trained so long without it!

I have found mine to be very accurate, although sometimes it will be off usually about a quarter mile for a 10 miles ruen. I think it has more to do with the movement or adjustment of the satelites rather than the watch, since I have noticed on the peaks website that sometimes the course is really off and has me starting out in Lake Erie. There is not really much you can do about it and all brands pretty much use the same gps. If I am running a course for time, I always measure it by my bike or car for better accuracy. I did do a 10 mile race last fall and it showed 10.07 which was very good. Trees and turns or switchbacks can through it off as well.

This watch was a gift for my grandson, an EMT nurse, and all I know is that he likes it! Good luck! Vera T.

I apologize for my first entry. I was thinking of the new heart rate monitor watch that I purchased after returning this watch. Sorry but I do not remember what the Chrono numbers were like.

I bought the talking watch for another person who is blind and elderly. When I got the watch, I set the time for him and taped a piece of card board to the back of it so he would not inadvertently hit the buttons in the back of the watch and thereby screw-up the time setting. Also, it helps having one or more back-up watches, adjusted the same way, if they are needed. Given the relatively low price of these mechanisms this should not be out of the question for most folks.

reset your watch with correct age. Make sure your wrist isn't sweaty when you are taking a reading. Check your manual! Mine works great and I was able to set it without asking my husband.

Yes. You can download the manuals from casio support before buying, to be sure it has what you want.

My watch does pause if I remain in one spot after about 15 seconds but it isn't always reliable. I am not sure why other people are reporting theirs do not pause. You can pause it manually fairly easily.

I haven't used the watch back tool, but it feels about the same quality as the wrest of the kit. (Just flimsy). I'd just spend the money to buy nice watch back removal tool, or if you only have one watch you might take it to a jeweler and have them replace your batter.

I am not sure. I bought the Blue Moon Timer and Stopwatch instead because of the issue you mentioned.
