You may be trying to advance date during a time period that the watch wont let you. Check the manual, I think it is something like fom when the watch reads 12 midnight to 7am. Withing this time frame, the watch will not let you change the date, and you will encounter what you are describing. Advance the hands manually until you know it is not in this time frame, and then try to change the date again. Good luck.
