Citizen Skyhawk C651,I have done as you said and I have cranked it for 12 hrs and when it stops,all hands on 24, and I set the watch the UTC dial is still of by 18 min. but the digital is matching the clock but not UTC. I need to know how how to manually set the UTC dial. I have followed all instruction but UTC dial still goes back to 18 min. fast .

I had the same issue, and was able to reset it doing the following:

1. I let it recharge for at least a day in bright sunlight
2. I turned the selector to "CHR"
3. I pulled the crown all the way out.
4. I held both buttons down for 5 seconds (don't know if this was what did it.
5. I pushed the crown back in.

It did some funky hand movements stuff and then started off working.

SOURCE: I cannot set the date on my Citizen SkyHawk Eco-Drive

The watch will automatically set the time and date when it is in receive mode (Mode hand is on CAL, TME, RXS) Pull crown out 1 click, turn crown to put mode hand in the ORANGE zone. push crown in. Set on stable surface with the 9:00 position facing the direction of the atomic clock signal. Push and hold lower button for 2 seconds till it beeps. it will enter RECEIVE mode and in 2 -15 minutes it will (if there is signal) update time and date automatically. While in RX mode the lcd windows will flash between RC & RX, the second hand should show signal level between 1 & 3 hr positions.
Do NOT move the watch until it has resumed the one second sweep motion and made a beep.

SOURCE: UTC Dial does not match Digital UTC readout

I finally figured this out... You must zero all the hands by setting the mode to CHR and pulling the stem to the second stop. Go through the process of setting the hour and second hand to zero. The secret is that zeroing the MINUTE hand also controls the UTC display zeroing. You will have to crank it until the UTC display reads 0:00 (24:00). Then go back and set the time and so on as usual.
