Get it running

  2. With the crown in, turn it clockwise about 30 times. Then wear it.

Set the date, then the time

  1. Pull the crown out one click. Turn it counterclockwise until the date is one day before today.
  2. Pull it out to the second click. Turn the hands forward until the date changes, which marks midnight. Keep turning to the correct time and make sure AM and PM are right.
  3. Push the crown back in when your reference time arrives.
  4. Screw the crown down if it has threads.

Do not change the date between about 9 PM and 3 AM. Move the time past that window first, then set the date.
