2. Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Ensure the 12/24 hour hand is also set correctly.
3. Push the crown back to the normal position to start the watch.
4. To set the date, pull the crown out to the first click position. Rotate the crown to adjust the date. Push the crown back to the normal position when done.
