Why Casio put the "set+" button on the bottom of the watch and the "set- " at the top. It seems completely counter intuitive.

Clockwise -v- anti-clockwise?

It doesn't seem more counter-intuitive than the alternative to me.
If you visualise a list of numbers, for example, the lower ones are at the top.
I get what you're saying, but I can't think of a single other digital control mechanism that does it that wayOriginally Posted by tribe125

Imagine if the two buttons were in the same sequence but on the top side of the watch .....they'd appear to be completely normal and intuitive then.
At least they marked 'set-' and 'set+'; in the early days some functions had to be 'discovered' by pushing 2 or 3 times, so that a button may refer to more than one function.

If you come to a fork in the road; take it, and then put it down so someone else can use it.
Agree. Does not always make sense, but their is a method behind their madness......At least they marked 'set-' and 'set+'; in the early days some functions had to be 'discovered' by pushing 2 or 3 times, so that a button may refer to more than one function.

Out of all the random stuff they print on a G-shock this is the counter-intuitive one?
