It seems to revert to a default setting about once a day mo 1 1 & 12;00

Sorry, I don't have a solution to this problem but I am experiencing the exact same problem with my Citizen Eco Drive Skyhawk A-T (JY0000-53E). It automatically sets the year to 2016 and the day to the previous day. For example, if it's currently Tuesday, the watch will indicate that it's Monday. And instead of the year being 2010, the watch will indicate that it's 2016. I have to reset my watch daily. I'm not really sure how long my watch has had this issue but I first noticed it in March, 2010.

Wind the clock until there is a sudden increase in resistance (it is then fully wound). So not apply a great force, as older clocks may be weaker and overloading the spring may break the termination and result in a new spring being required.

If you think it is becoming too stiff, just stop winding and see how long it runs for. I have often heard the term "over winding at clock" but have never quite understood the term. As a retired engineer I think that springs that break because of overenthusiastic winding are probably near the end of their life anyway.

Just bought a STARTER Sport Watch Model# STW14 @Walmart

Had Pulsar analog watch. Couldn't set either day or date properly due to being unable to signify AM or PM. When days changed one or the other would be 12 hours off.
""googled" adjusting Pulsar watches" and found site which explained how. You set day of week and date to previous day and date and then move watch time ahead until day and date are correct. Then set watch time. Seems to work.
