Re: Don't know which way to turn!

In Response To: Don't know which way to turn! ()

: Conventional wisdom on this forum seems to be
: that hands should normally be turned in the
: forward direction only, with reverse
: movement potentially causing additional wear
: or even damage.

That's the general advice for the case of "if you don't know for certain that your watch can handle being set backwards, the safest approach is to assume it can't."

But since you have clear instructions from the manufacturer that says you can on your specific model -- then you can and should have no concerns!
