Picked up my new Airwolf from Retailer, thought it wierd that he didnt check me out on all the functions but put it down to cultural (Cantonese / English).

So on day 2 I put it on and started to check out the functions while flying over the pacific to KSFO and discovered there are non working. All I get is the word "no" when I try to access any functions. All I can do is change the time of day and select 12hr or 24hr... WTF for the money it cost? I feel like a tool with a 3000$ lemon. My 200$ Casio, and 300$ Citizen have been flawless for 5 years.

Today is day 3 and I wont be back to hong kong until day 5. I want a new one unless it is something I am missing that is simple.

Sounds funny. Nothing happens when you rotate the crown in normal posistion?
"No" is supposed to show when useing the pushbuttons when they have no function. For instance in time-, t2- or UTC-mode.

Hope it works out for you!

To access the functions rotate the crown for a short burst. It should scroll through the functions (you can go either way), and then use the pushers to start/stop the chrono and timer etc.

If purchased from an authorized dealer and it's a lemon, you'll have no problem getting it replaced, so don't worry.

The Airwolf is a great piece of kit! What dial/strap combo did you go for?

Have you read the directions in the manual?

To access functions, turn the crown.

yah --read the book on the turning the crown - When in doubt ...

So further to above - on the way back day 5 - the digital display has quit. I got a feeling the battery is packing in.

Off to the retailer, calling the service centre first
