How To Set The Day, Date, & Time on a Seiko 5 Watch

Follow this quick guide to correctly set the day & date on a Seiko 5 watch. Switching between AM and PM settings can be difficult, and if you want your watch to be 100% accurate, you'll need to set these figures properly.
Warning Avoid changing the date & day settings on your Seiko 5 between 9:00pm and 4:00am, as this can damage the automatic calendar functions. If your watch is set to one of these times, pull the crown out to its second position and move the hands out of this time zone before adjusting the calendar.
Essentially, setting up your Seiko 5 watch involves pulling the crown out and rotating it to change your settings. Change your calendar first (move the crown out one position), by turning the crown and setting the figures to the day and date before the current one. This way, when you pull out the crown and begin to turn the crown and move the hands forward, the calendar will automatically change as you go past 12 o'clock. This will sync your watch to the AM time, and your calendar should automatically change every 24 hours from this point.
To change the time on a Seiko 5 watch, simply pull the crown out two positions, and adjust the time by turning the crown towards or away from you.
From there, you can sync your time up with a working clock, and push the crown down so it continues ticking along. Keep in mind that most Seiko 5s will shift +/- 15 seconds per month, and will occasionally need to be tuned up.

One thing is that if you have a bilingual watch meaning it displays the days of the week in two languages set the date to your language before todays date. Ex. If you chose Spanish and today is Mar, set it to Lun then when you set the time, right after it switches to English (at around midnight) Tuesday, it’ll switch again at 3am.

setting the day and date during 9pm and 4 am will break it, but if you just pop the crown out during that time or during that time you move the hour and minute hand backwards for whatever reason will that also break it?

@diljoe9678 8 ай бұрын

No you can adjust the time during this period just not the date. And if you have to adjust the date in the “danger zone” for any reason simply move the hour hand back a few hours to the safe zone, adjust the date then move to the correct time

First time watch owner here: I had my watch set in a different time zone when I took off on my flight and when I landed my watch read around 2:30am so I reset it unknowingly and the local time was 11:30ish pm. I am freaking out thinking I broke it now because of the no setting between midnight and 5am thing.... Anyone with experience know if my watch will be ok? I just followed this video and set it correctly with no issue. (I picked up this exact seiko 5 a few days ago)

Sorry to say man, but you'll probably have to take it to technical assistance, maybe it won't be fixed but you can try to take it.

You’ll be fine. One time doing it probably won’t break it. If you change the time on it during that window repeatedly, you may f**k the mechanism up.

Hey mate, that is a completely normal part of automatic movements. Every mechanical movement will gain or lose a small amount of time each day. For the 4R36 movement it is -20 to +40 sec/day. I tend to re-set my automatic watch every few days as it will be about a minute off. Hope that helps!

You have to , to set the day/date Clockwise for day and anti clockwise for date You can turn it both ways to set the time Doesnt do it any harm just twisting it either way with crown pressed in as it winds the watch (if you have the 4r36 movement seiko)

It is between these times the watch starts to change the date automatically. The mechanism can get screwed up if you move the day/date manually between these times.

@Omlet221 Жыл бұрын

Of course that means the time on the watch. Essentially what you have to do is first move the hour hand to the bottom of the watch. Then set the date as he describes. Then move it forward to the correct time. The tricky part is just keeping track of whether the watch is in the am or pm as you are setting it back to the correct time. As you move it forward the date will change and the watch will be in the am, then once you make a full revolution it will be in the pm.

I have gmt seiko blueberry do we need to manually unwind it with crown moving in anti clockwise direction and when it pops out we wind it again then set time and date ?
