How to Set the Day, Date, and Time on Seiko Watches

How to change time in Seiko watch is a straightforward process, but it's essential to follow the correct steps to maintain its accuracy and longevity. Here's a simple guide on how to adjust Seiko watch time:

  1. Identify the Crown Positions:
    Most Seiko watches have a crown with three positions:

    • Position 0: Crown fully pushed in (normal mode).

    • Position 1: Slightly pulled out (date and day setting).

    • Position 2: Fully pulled out (time setting).

  2. Set the Date and Day:

    • Pull the crown to Position 1.

    • Rotate the crown clockwise to adjust the date.

    • Rotate it counterclockwise to set the day.

    • Avoid setting the date and day between 9 PM and 3 AM, as the watch’s internal gears may be engaged, which could cause damage.

  3. Set the Time:

    • Pull the crown to Position 2.

    • Turn the crown to set the time. Ensure that the hour hand passes the 12 o’clock position to confirm whether it’s AM or PM.

  4. Secure the Crown:

    • Push the crown back to Position 0 to lock in your settings and ensure the watch remains water-resistant.

  5. Check Accuracy:

    • After setting, observe your watch for a few minutes to confirm that the adjustments are correct and the hands are moving smoothly.

These steps apply to most Seiko models, but always refer to your watch’s user manual for specific instructions tailored to your timepiece. For automatic or kinetic watches, consider manually winding them to ensure optimal power reserve before setting the time.

By following these steps, your Seiko watch will maintain its hallmark precision and functionality.
