"From pg. 6 of the Operating Instructions:
This is done after the correct digital time is set.

Press P4 for more than 3 seconds to clear screen

Pull the crown to position 2. "Go On?" and the digital time are displayed.

Press P1: digital time stops and "HandS" is displayed.

Press P2 to make the seconds hand move forward, to synchronize it with the digital seconds.

Press P1, "HandM" is displayed;

Press P2 to make the minute hand move forward or P3 to make it move backward, to synchronize it with the digital minutes.

Press P1, "HandH" is displayed.

Press P2 to make the hour hand move forward or P3 to make it move backward, to synchronize it with the digital hour.

Push the crown into position 1. The hands catch up to the correct time. Push the crown again to return to the previous function.

Note: The minute hand jumps by 1/2 second. If the seconds are situated between 30 and 59 seconds, the minute hand should be positioned between the two minute-scale marks.

The translation of that note is: since the minute hand advances in half minute hunks, be sure to make your adjustments so the minute hand is in synch with the second hand (in other words, if you're adjusting the second hand some time in the 30 to 59 range, be sure the minute hand has advanced to the second position between the minute markers.

I know it's a bit confusing, but it works.

Hope this helps,"

Best WIShes,
