How To Set The Day, Date, & Time on a Seiko 5 Watch

Follow this quick guide to correctly set the day & date on a Seiko 5 watch. Switching between AM and PM settings can be difficult, and if you want your watch to be 100% accurate, you'll need to set these figures properly.

Warning Avoid changing the date & day settings on your Seiko 5 between 9:00pm and 4:00am, as this can damage the automatic calendar functions. If your watch is set to one of these times, pull the crown out to its second position and move the hands out of this time zone before adjusting the calendar.

Essentially, setting up your Seiko 5 watch involves pulling the crown out and rotating it to change your settings. Change your calendar first (move the crown out one position), by turning the crown and setting the figures to the day and date before the current one. This way, when you pull out the crown and begin to turn the crown and move the hands forward, the calendar will automatically change as you go past 12 o'clock. This will sync your watch to the AM time, and your calendar should automatically change every 24 hours from this point.

To change the time on a Seiko 5 watch, simply pull the crown out two positions, and adjust the time by turning the crown towards or away from you.

From there, you can sync your time up with a working clock, and push the crown down so it continues ticking along. Keep in mind that most Seiko 5s will shift +/- 15 seconds per month, and will occasionally need to be tuned up.
