I received a HangWare digital watch (circa 1995 +/-) as a gift for hiking but they no longer had the owners manual. How do I set the time/functions with the four button positions? Or, does anyone have a copy of the manual they can send? Thanks for ANY help you may be able to give. Ryan

I have a number of these Casio and Citizen watches. This watch does not use GPS for the time keeping. It uses a land based broadcast time signal. There is public information about where the signals come from for your area. The technical breakdown of the time code signal is public access information.

The instruction manual of the watch has the information about when your watch should automatically receive the time signal, and how to set up the watch. Many of the manuals also included a map showing the time signal coverage, and includes the time of day information to show when the signal is strongest.

Make sure the watch settings are for your time zone. This is important. If the main time zone is not for your area it will be trying to receive the signal at the wrong frequency at the wrong time of day. There are areas where the signal may not be able to be received. You can get the mapping for this from the service that the watch has been set to use.

In North America the auto time receive is supposed to take place between midnight 00:00 to 04:00. In the eastern part of North America the reception is poor compared to central and western part of North America. Check the instruction manual for your watch for details.

Below is the spec listing of your watch.

Your watch uses a calibre 1665 movement. You might contact After Sales Service and ask them if they would send you an owners manual. Setting the time and date is fairly straight forward but you also need to sync the analog and digital displays so it is a bit difficult to describe in just a few words.

The basic guideline is
To select function - turn the crown
To change function - pull out the crown and then turn it
To start and stop functions - press the crown

I don't know if the offer is still good after two years, but take a look here.If you just want to set the time, look here.

Hello,

I would love to help with this problem...but I need to know the Model of the watch first. They perhaps I can give you detailed instructions on how to set it.

Thanks,

Sandy

Check my tips and tricks for ARMITRON watch manuals.

Instructions can be obtained by going to the Columbia web site "columbia.com".

Insert "watches" in the search box (top right) and the next page shows a watch with the title "timing" and underneath in says "PDF instruction manual for watches"

Click on this and a list of diagrams for the watches appears. Choose the one that is for your watch and down load.

You have to open caseback and upload the movement number here. Then I might help.

good after noon,to set the time and is depend on the model of your watch,if your watch is analog use the crown to set the time and date just pull the crown slowly and wind it,but if your watch is digital use the button to set the time,thank you !....
