I have a new Geneva watch that has three interior dials but don't know how to set them. There is a center crown (to set the time) and another button that pushes in on either side of the crown but can't figure that out!

read the instruction manual, Geneva Watches with Two or Three Hands

1. Pull the crown out until you feel a click.
2. Turn the crown counterclockwise until you have the correct time.
3. Push the crown back in to set the time.

Geneva Watches with Two or Three Hands and a Date Window

1. Pull the crown out until you feel two clicks. This second click position allows you to set the time.
2. Turn the crown counter clockwise until you have the correct time. Push the crown all the way in to set the time.
3. Pull the crown out until you feel one click. This first click position allows you to set the date.
4. Turn the crown counterclockwise until you have the correct date. Push the crown back in to set the date.

Multi-Function Geneva Watches

1. Pull the crown out until you feel two clicks. This second click position allows you to set the day.
2. Rotate the crown counter clockwise until you have the correct day. Push the crown in to set the day.
3. Pull the crown out until you feel a second click to set the time or the 24-hour hand.
4. Turn the crown clockwise until you have the correct time, then push the crown in to set it.
5. Pull the crown out just one click to set the date. Turn the crown clockwise until you have the correct date, then push the crown in to set it.

Geneva Chronograph Watches

1. Pull the crown out two clicks. This second click position allows you to set the time.
2. Turn the crown clockwise until you have the correct time, then push the crown in to set it.
3. Pull the crown out just one click to set the date. Turn the crown clockwise until you have the correct date, then push the crown in to set it.
4. Stop and start the chronograph by pressing the PA button, located above the crown.
5. Reset the chronograph by pressing the PB button just below the crown. The PB button returns the chronograph second and minute hands to their original positions of zero.

Automatic Geneva Watches

1. Wind the mainspring by turning the crown 15 to 20 times clockwise.
2. Pull the crown out until it clicks.
3. Turn the crown counterclockwise until you have the correct time, then push the crown in to set the time.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not set the date or time between 8 p.m. and 3 a.m. to avoid damage to your Geneva watch. The gears sit too close together during these times.
• If your Geneva watch becomes wet, wipe it dry as soon as possible. Keep your watch away from saunas and hot tubs, as the extreme heat diminishes the watch's water resistance.

the three dials are for three different time zones, there is no minutes or seconds.
to adjust the middle dial just push the small bottom which is located on the back side of the watch

One of the dials should be seconds so you won't be setting that, the other two should be day and date, when you pull the stem and crown all the way out you can set the time there is a halfway setting ( pull the stem halfway out) if you turn one way it's the day of the week the other way is the date. Hope this helps! Also what appears to be a second hand on the dial a lot of times is actually a stopwatch.

The three small dials on this watch are all part of a "stopwatch" system. The small dial at the 12 o'clock is for tenths of a second( each half circle completed is one second or 1 whole rotation equals 2 seconds.) the small dial at the 6 o'clock counts a full 60 seconds for each revolution, and the dial at the 9 o'clock counts minutes(one full circle equaling an hour.) when the stop watch is started the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock dials will start at the same time. you will notice that every half turn on the top dial equals one "tick" on the bottom dial. After the first minute of timing the top dial will stop ticking as it is for more precise timing of things that take less than 1 minute. each full rotation of the bottom dial will then equate to one "tick" of the 9 o'clock dial. hence the three dials counting tenths of a second, seconds and minutes. the setting of these dials is fairly easy once you understand the purpose. on the side of the watch there are two buttons(one top and one bottom) with a setting wheel in the center. When in use the top button starts and stops the stopwatch and the bottom button resets the counters. To set the watch simply pull the center wheel away from the watch all the way(2 clicks) set your minute hand and hour hand and then tap the bottom button repeatedly until the small dials all line up straight up. once that is done push the center wheel button halfway into the watch or one click to set the date. then simply push the wheel the rest of the way in and voila!!! hope this answers some questions

Crown(stem) at 10 O'clock has air inlet for temperature, does not move. Crown at 8 O'clock is for setting 3rd time zone next to it. The two buttons on the right of the case, above and below, set 2nd time zone which is at the 6 O'clock position of the large dial. To set #2 push top button till min. hand moves 1 min., then push bottom button to move 1 min each time or hold for rapid movement. Large crown sets date and large dial. Unscrew it (counterclockwise) then pull out to first click, then set date turning crown clockwise, continue to pull out till 3rd click which is where you set the time on the large dial.

You pop the 'crown' out (dial) then turn it till correct time, then push it back in. It's on E-how, depending on the type of watch, or how many dials it has, the directions may change.

hi,
all you need to do is pull the centre bezel out (to where you adjust the time) and by pressing the top button the chronograph needle will move round. Once it is the correct place simply push the centre bezel back in.

Hope this helps.

Find Geneva, if you can.I can't seem to.

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