2. Pull the crown out to position 2 (second click) to set the time. The seconds hand will stop. Turn the crown to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time. Ensure you differentiate between AM and PM when setting the date.
3. Once set, push the crown back into position 0 and screw it down firmly to ensure water resistance.
