Setup

1. Setting the Time and Date

1. Pull the Crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to position 2 for setting the date, or position 3 for setting the time. Refer to Figure 2 for crown positions.
2. Set the Date (Position 2): If your watch has a date function, rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
3. Set the Time (Position 3): Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands. Advance the hands past 12 o'clock to determine if it is AM or PM when setting the date.
4. Push the Crown Back: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into position 1 (normal operating position) to start the watch.
