Hi folks,
I've recently started to have a problem with one of my G757's (it's the 401b version) in that when I wear it, after a few minutes the display turns off. Removing it from my wrist would see the display reappear after a few minutes. Even more oddly, though, the actual time displayed by the watch when the display recovered would simply pick up from the point at which the display had turned off. For example if the display turned off at, say, 19:05:00 and it took ten minutes to recover, the watch would pick up from 19:05:00. In other words while the display was off, time had "frozen", so to speak!
Anyway I reasoned that there was probably some sort of moisture issue in the watch, so I removed the movement and took out the battery for a day. However on re-inserting the battery I no longer get a display at all!?!
I can't see any obvious signs of corrosion. I tried a replacement battery but that didn't make any difference.
Prior to all this weirdness, the watch worked perfectly - all display segments, alarm, backlight and functions, etc.
Has anyone experienced anything similar with a G757 and/or can offer any advice, please?

Many thanks!
