Hello.
It looks like my old Casio DBC 150 is finally dying when I started using
it on 5/7/2011 to replace my former Casio DBC watch. Its night light
doesn't turn on, but makes the LEDs vanish when in used as of a few
weeks ago. This mornng, I noticed its date and time got resetted.
However, phone numbers and schedulers' datas were still there. Its
battery was replaced last year, so I doubt it is battery related. Has
anyone had this problem before? :(
Are there any affordable good replacements out there? I don't like
smartwatches that require smartphones and frequent battery charges. I
just want a simple (geek/nerd)y watch to do simple times, appointments,
phone books, and calculations. :)

Go LA (NBA)! Oh wait... It had been over a year... Will 2021 repeat 2020? :(

This particular symptom is characteristic of low battery.

I can only comment that in general, that particular symptom is
characteristic of low battery (low voltage). Doesn't mean it is actually
the cause...
