I recently discovered a bug which I reported to Acewell where the digital clock on this speedo, would lose a few seconds on each power cycle - that is not because of an interruption to permanent live, but caused by/during the speedo dial auto-rotating when the speedo powered up.
Acewell.co.uk were sceptical when I first reported the problem however, they took the speedo back and tested it side by side with a new CA-085 running a later firmware version confirming the problem - this video shows their acknowledging the behaviour with one clock "slowing down" compared with the other.


Just letting people know, because it was maddening and took me ages to work out how it was consistently, but slowly showing the wrong time -
You should be able to get a firmware update to fix if this affects your unit, but I believe this has to be done by Acewell - not the end-user.
