I would suspect that your watch is not picking up the radio signal to reset itself to the correct time. There are several reasons for this - the battery might be very low, or you are in a poor reception area, or you are just too far from the transmitter, or the hands need realigning. If the watch claims to pick up multiple transmitters, then be sure that it is set to the correct one. Try taking off the watch at night and placing it face-up on a window sill to give it the best chance of a signal.
I can't offer anything other than general advice as you do not give the make/model of your timepiece. Some radio-controlled watches have a facility to realign (or 'zero') the hands - again, can't be specific without more information.

My On Time Atomic watch was shipped 1 hour ahead. How do I get it on the correct time?

You need to set the correct timezone. Your watch doesn't know where it is geographically so you need to set it manually.

Need manual for g-force watch global atomic

Hi, Since you didn't specify the model or module number of the watch, try this link:

Take the four-digit module number from the back of the watch, enter it, and download a PDF of your watch setting-instructions.
I hope this helps you. Thanks, Bill

Will not recieve atomic time.My other casio atomic

This watch will set it's self in a 24 hour time frame. You need only set the time zone your in.

If it does not correct it's self change location in your house. It receives the signal at 0200 0400 and 0600 for the correction.

The transmitter is located in Fort Collins, Colorado. this station transmits the time codes2_bing.gif and is best received at night.

Hope this tip helps

The watch is 2 minutes slow I know how to change the hours, but I am not able to up the minutes

Use the button, that you use to go to the hours setting and keep pressing it, until the minutes flash. Bump the plus or minus button until you have the correct time. Bump your way through to regular running time.

Casio 4305 battery change problem

You don't say whether it has the minutes right and the hour wrong or if both are wrong. If it's just that the hour is wrong, you need to set the time zone.

Atomic clocks and watches have a "zero" position. Your manual should tell you how to "zero" the watch and what the time should be when it is zeroed. Each manufacturer is different. I have one that points to 3:00 and one that points to 12:00. If you zero your watch and it doesn't point to the right position, you will need to remove the movement from the case and manually move the hands to the zero position.

Been there, done that.

Casio Wave Captor Watch wont set to correct time.

You need to manually adjust or set the hands to the home position as they are not where the watch thinks they should be. This can happen when you bring your watch close to a strong magnetic field. Look in the manual to do this. Afterwards your watch should set to the correct time.
