Setting the day and date

To set the date and day on your Armitron 20/4591TT watch, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the mode button until the display starts flashing.
2. Use the hour and minute buttons to set the current time.
3. Press and release the mode button to move to the date setting.
4. Use the hour and minute buttons to set the current date.
5. Press and release the mode button to move to the day setting.
6. Use the hour and minute buttons to set the current day of the week.
7. Press and release the mode button to exit the setting mode.

If you are having difficulty setting the date and day on your watch, you may want to consult the owner's manual for additional instructions.

This watch should have a "quick set" date function that lets you advance the dates by turning the setting crown. To get the watch in this mode, pull the set stem out half-way. At that point, turning the setting crown will advance the date on the watch without turning the hands. One some watches, finding the right position for the set stem can be a bit tricky--either it's not out far enough or it's out just a bit too far and the time hands turn. You may have to try pulling the stem in and out a few times to get it just right.

A word of advice: watches are generally designed to advance the date, not to turn it back. It's suggested that if you need turn the date back, you actually advance the date wheel up to 30 days to get to the date you want. Some watches do permit you to turn dates backwards, but I prefer not to risk the chance of hanging up the little springs and mechanism that are designed to advance the date indicator.

One final note: I have serviced several Timex mid-size (ladies or kids size) Expedition watches that lack a quick-set date. Many Timex watches in that size do have a quickset date like I've just described to you, so I have no idea whether these watches happen to have a cheaper movement or if they have some internal damage (it's been the same model each time). At any rate, for those watches, I have had to use the incredibly slow and painful process of advancing the time 24 hours to advance the date. With those watches, if the date is too far advanced by a day or two, it may be easier to stop the watch for 24-48 hours until the date is correct, rather than spend a huge amount of time spinning the crown to advance the time. Hopefully, your watch will have the more sophisticated movement, though.

On most analog watches (non-digital), changing the date is achieved by:

1) Pulling the crown all the way out (second position). Turn the crown, changing the time until the date advances. This tells you that you are in the AM setting. Adjust the time further based upon this.

2) Push the crown in slightly until you feel a (click). This is the first crown position. Turning the crown in this position will change the date quickly (depending on your watch model).

3) Push the crown all the way in to the case when you are finished setting the time and date.

You have to change day by the means of moving hands clockwise. Move as long as the desired day appears in window, then adjust the date and set time. Rate me, plz.

When you pull out crown, there is two positions (clicks), not just one. First click is for day/date quick setting. Second click is for hand setting. Pull the crown out slowly and carefully and you will soon find out both positions.

Rate, please.

With our 10 year old grandson's help, my husband was able to figure it out. Took a while, but he is now wearing his watch again!
Thanks for the follow-up.

Unscrew the crown pull out the crown to the first position, One click and rotate the crown clockwise. This is for Quick Set models

For non quickset

Try pulling the stem out. Turn the stem in the counter clock wise direction and see if that changes the date/day

Depending on how old the watch is, It may be quick set or older models are not quick set. In older models you need to unscrew the crown, pull out the crown and rotate the crown to set the time, and in order to set the date rotate the hour hand past 12 twice in order for the date to change. Set the date first and then set the hour and min. For quick set models unscrew the crown and pull it out to the fist click this position you can "quickly" set the date by rotating the crown. Set the date and then pull out the crown to the second position out. Rotate the crown to set the hour and min. Then push the crown back in and screw it down.

hi
never change week or date when day is on "sun" or "mon" also never change date or week or day when time is between 9 pm and 5 am.
to change day, move time back and forth between 10 pm and 2 am.
moon will change only after 24 hr round (not during quick day change)
hope this helps
