No where else was a reset mentioned. After opening back 5 times, putting back original battery, and ready to throw watch away, saw this entry. Reset worked a charm. Anyone else trying this: First, be very aware of the three tiny springs that are exposed when opening the back.
Do not let them escape. Second, there seem to be different models of this watch. Battery holder on my watch was totally different than one pictured. Third, do the reset before closing the watch. Well I reused mine because it was in good condition and I had some silicone grease which I applied to it to assist with the sealing. If I had a new one I would probably fit it as it is good practice. Inspect it with a magnifying glass for nicks and most importantly clean out the channel that it sits in with ethanol or similar, do this even if you fit a new o-ring.
You could measure the o-ring cord diameter with a micrometer and also the diameter of the channel with a vernier calipers to determine the sizes if you want to replace it. You can probably get o-rings on ebay once you determine the sizes. If you want to reuse a distored but otherwise OK o-ring you can drop it in a cup of boiling water for a few minutes and it will often give it a new lease of life.
So to summarize, ideally you should replace it but if you enjoy improvising like I do you can often make it work OK by cleaning it and applying some preferably silicone grease or second best petroleum jelly vaseline.
