Hello,

I have a citizen hyper aqualand. It always worked fine.

It automatically stops the dive bottom time counting adn starts
counting surface internval as come to surface and then after some
minutes it will consider a new dive.

Well, now I notice that when i come to surface for some reason it
stays thinkign it is at depth 5 or 7 feet and maybe this makes it
think I am still diving and so no surface intervak is counted and when
i do my secodn dive it considers it as stil the first dive.

How can I solve this problem ? Why is it occuring ?

Thanks,

Mario

This often happens when people fly.  Particulary large men (or at
least men with large arms).  If you accidentally get the water sensor
(small gold disc in the center of the right side of the watch) wet
while flying (which is easy for large-armed people because the sensor
tends to touch the back of your hand when you flex your wrist), the
watch takes a pressure reading.  It uses this reading to determine
when you are diving.  When you land, the reading is low enough that it
thinks you are diving.  It will remain in dive mode until rest
(described later) or until you fly again.

You can reset the watch by holding all 4 buttons down for several
seconds.  NOTE: doing this completely erases all dive log data and
you'll have to reset the time and date (so download any dives you want
to keep).

Happy Diving

My watch had the same problem with diving and flying. I sent it to
Citizen where they put a new movement in it. It now works fine.
Apparently, there was a bug in the early watches.
