Re: Date adjustment on SMP quartz
In Response To: Date adjustment on SMP quartz ()

: The changing of the new date is
: going smoothly, rather than the
: "ticking" way observed in other
: brands.

That is the way the quartz version of the SMP works. The automatic version has the quick-change date. The quartz version does not, so its date rolls over slowly.

: If so, can this be fixed or calibrated so the
: new date change closer to midnight?

No, that's the way it is supposed to work. If it bothers you, return your quartz model and get the automatic version instead.
