You’ll be engaging in adjusting the day of the week, so proceed with care. Turn the crown gently to advance the day, stopping when the weekday aligns with the date on the dial.

After the correct day is in place, push the crown back to its original position to finalize the adjustment. This step focuses on syncing the weekday with the date without altering other settings.
If you notice resistance, back off and retry with a lighter touch to prevent harm to the movement.
Step 4: Confirm and Finalize the Date
After you’ve set the date, double-check that it matches the day of the week so the display stays accurate.
Now, you’ll confirm the date by looking for consistency with the calendar sequence and the time setting. If everything aligns, gently push the crown back to its normal position to restart the watch’s movement and lock in the change.
This is the moment to confirm you haven’t skipped a day, especially around month ends; regular checks help catch discrepancies early. Remember to adjust the date one day earlier than the current date when you’re syncing AM/PM, so the time display remains correct as you finalize the change.
Avoid performing any date adjustments between 9:00 PM and 4:30 AM to prevent potential damage to the mechanism. If the date feels off, re-check the day of the week and correct as needed before you push the crown fully home.
Step 5: Return Crown to Normal Position and Verify the Date
Once you’ve set the date, push the crown back to its normal position to resume operation, and then verify the date against an accurate calendar. You want the Crown to Set correctly, so make certain the crown is fully seated to protect water resistance.
Next, verify the date by comparing it with a trusted calendar, and adjust if necessary before you wear the watch. After confirming, test the watch’s timekeeping and note any discrepancy, since Citizen watches benefit from periodic checks after adjustments. Keeping the crown secured prevents accidental changes and potential damage. Regularly verify accuracy, especially after adjustments, to guarantee proper function over time.
Before finishing, confirm the date is correct for the current month, since some months require manual fixes.
