2. Setting the Time
- Pull the crown out to position 2.
- Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Ensure you distinguish between AM and PM when setting the day/date.

- Pull the crown out to position 1.
- Rotate the crown clockwise to set the date.

Troubleshooting

| Time is incorrect. | Time was not set correctly, or crown was accidentally pulled out. | Refer to the "Setting the Time" section and reset the time. Ensure the crown is pushed fully in after setting. |
