Auto el function not working on g shock?

[Clinton Baptiste]

I've just bought a g shock gwm5610 second hand off someone, I can't get this function to work I've tried cupping my hand over it and in the dark room etc but to no avail.
Yes it's switched on and the battery says it's full too?
Any ideas?

Thanks

Auto light? Try tilting it towards your face.

That's what I'm doing but it's not working. If it is faulty can I take it to any casio stockist like h Samuel for example? Or does it need to go back to where it was purchased?

On some models you switch it on and off by a long press of the light button itself.
Hold it for 3+ seconds and it then should work......

Hi, yes done that and it's definitely on. It says A. EL in the bottom right corner.

As said, when working they need to be moved from an arm by your side position to in front of your face in a deliberate manner.
Its a movement not a light sensor.

I'm definitely doing it right. I had a riseman and that worked fine. Looks like the tilt sensor is not working, I've just checked it on the calibration mode and it's not registering when I move my wrist. Ffs.

I've just done an ac reset on the battery, still the same.

Looks like it's this that's the problem, ah well fk it, I don't use this function anyway.
