How do i set time on radio controlled wrist watch 3 atm
The point of a radio-controlled watch is that you should not have to move the hands manually. It is meant to respond to a time signal send from various places in the USA, UK, Germany, Japan and (I think) China.
The signal's strength varies considerably, depending on where you are located and the ambient temperature. It may need some application and persistence to get the watch synchronized with the signal, this will cause the hands to move to the correct local time - even then it may need correction if you are in a different UTC time zone or on Daylight Saving Time (DST) locally. Not knowing the make complicates the validity of any information.
I have found that the sync signal is broadcast on the hour for about five minutes and is best received at night where the signal travels further.
Ensure your watch is fully charged and leave your watch by a window overnight for best results.
If you still have difficulty, use an internet search to find the nearest broadcast station to where you are and work out which direction-facing window is best sited to face it.
I have two RC watches - one Citizen and one Casio. One likes to have the left side of the watch facing the window and the other favours the 12 o'clock facing the window, As I don't know the make of your watch I would recommend trying to place it in various orientations until you find one that works for you. I have found the whole set up performs best in cold air situations - and so are more reliable in the winter.
Guessing further, If you bring up the signal display function it may force the watch into signal sync mode - always remembering the 'on the hour' signal broadcasts. You may also find a way of adjusting the hour to suit if it differs for you once it is synced.
Can I replace the broken crystal on my citizen eco-drive watch myself?
It will be very difficult if you don't have the right tools
You would need a hand press of the right size. You would need a tool to open the case back, you would need to know how to remove the crown and stem in order to remove the dial with the movement. It would be also a good idea to have it tested for water resistance and you would need a special aparatus to do that. You may also need to replace the I ring or gasket.
Citizen b023 s025508 battery installation
On the bottom of the battery there is a connector with a nub sticking out in one direction only on the bottom and one on the opposite side that juts out and then up. The nub that does NOT stick up should line up with the tiny arrow that is in the battery slot, and you will notice a tiny slot on the opposite side for the other one that juts up. it should stick up and is suppose to touch the back plate of the watch i believe.

How to get a watch to work.
If your watch isn't working first try replacing the battery. Some watches like the Citizen EcoDrive are solar powered so leaving them in sunlight for two or three days will recharge it. Other watches like the 'perpetuals' and the 'automatic' styles need to be worn or placed in a specialist 'winder' to rewind the drive spring. If your are in any doubt take the watch to a Good watch specialist and they'll tell you which one yours is.
I have Citizen Eco-Drive-Pilot Promaster-radio-controlled, shortly i noticed that the second doesnt move and allways stay in 12 Oclock position. Hakan
When was the last time you left the watch out to charge? EcoDrive watches are basically daylight powered. It can also use light bulb light to charge as well. My first suggestion would be to place it face up somewhere where it will get plenty of sunshine and leave it to recharge. It might take 3 or 4 days if it has gone totally flat but it will cost you nothing to do this. If this doesn't work I would recommend taking it to a good Citizen dealer and see if the watch can be serviced. If you have pulled the crown too hard you could have damaged inside the watch.
A built in feature on some Citizen watches is the '2 second tick'. If the charge is low the second hand will jump 2 seconds at a time instead of one. When recharged it goes back to normal.
