To synchronize the hands of your ( Fossil ) Abacus au8001 atomic watch do the following:
Before Starting the procedure, remove the spring pin from the watchband buckle holes used to slightly adjust the size of the band ( the side with the set of two holes ) so that the band will lie flat on either side of the watch exposing the back of the watch. Use a small pin to push down on either side of the spring pin.
1 ) Remove the back of the watch. You need to unscrew the 6 small stainless steel screws using a small jewelers Phillips screwdriver. Then using a needle pointed pair of tweezers, remove the screws and place them in a small container so they don't get lost. They are so small that if you drop them you may never find them, then remove the back of the watch using the tweezers as well.
2) On the bottom of the stainless steel plate covering the Watch movement there is a small hole marked reset just to the left of the hole. At the bottom of the hole is a small stainless steel screw. Take a very small screwdriver or a straightened steel paper clip and insert it into the hole so it touches both the head of the small screw and the side of the hole ( so there is an electrical connection between the screw and the stainless steel plate ). If you are successful the LED Display on the front of the watch will start flashing 00:00.
3) then while looking at the face of the watch, press and hold the upper right button ( the A button on the instructions) until the watch hands start to spin. Let them spin until they almost read 12:00. Then do a short press of the A button again and the hands will stop. Then do short presses of the A button which will move the hands a very short distance each time you press it until the hands show exactly 12:00. If you accidentally go past exactly 12:00 then start over by pressing and holding the A button until the hands start to spin. The hands must show exactly 12:00 before taking the next step or they will not be synchronized with the digital time.
4) when the hands show exactly 12:00 press the bottom right button ( the C button on the instructions).
5) the watch will enter the setting mode showing the default time zone of EU. Press the A button to switch to your Time Zone. Each press of the button will change to the next time zone. When it appears press the C button to confirm
6) the Daylight Savings mode of Auto will appear next. You can either switch it off entirely or turn it on by using the A button. Then press the C button again.
6) you are now in the time setting mode. The number on the left which is flashing is the hours. Using the A code button change it to your current hours time. Then press the C button and the minutes numbers ( on the right will flash ) using an internet time source change the the minutes using the A button. Press the C button to enter The number will change to the seconds. Using your internet source press the C button when the internet seconds show 00..
7) The display will now show the year stating in 2005. Press the A button repeatedly until the current year is shown. Then press the C button to enter.
8) you will then be in the month mode with the number on the left flashing. Using the A button change the number to the current month and press the C button.
9) You will now be in the date mode. Using the A button, change the number to the current date and press the C button.
10) The watch will now adjust the hands to correspond to the digital time you just entered.
11) Replace the back of the watch. Place the screws in the holes using the needle nose tweezers . Do this on a tray so if you drop a screw it won’t get lost. Screw them in so they are snug but don’t tighten too much or you risk cracking the plastic back.
12) You can re enter the time setting mode by pressing and holding the C button for over 3 seconds.
13) You can put the watch into a manual atomic time receiving mode by pressing and holding the A button for over 3 seconds
Connect the watchband side you removed from the buckle by replacing the spring pin.

This is user-correctable.
See manual page 4, titled "Synchronization".
1. Press T button
2. touch center until you see the 24h/units
3. hold down T for 5 seconds until you see "Synchro" in the LCD.
4. use the + button to move the long hand to 12 o'clock, use the - button to move the short hand to 12 o'clock
6. press T button to commit settings.
Hands will move to agree with the time in LCD.

I have read the instructions and theyare as clear as mud!

If you haven't already tried it, try foll0wing the "local time" setting instructions, with reference to the s#last section "If necessary perform setting..............." This should either alter the hands or the digital display, so that you can get them to agree.

If you still cannot set your watch, then you might find it useful to go to Tissot.com and click on "contact us" and send them an email explaining your problem.

The digital time on my Casio 2758 WVA 105H is perfect but the hands of the watch are wrong. How do I correct this?

Go to Casio's web-site and download the instructions for the watch. Your hands need to be "synchronized" with the digital section of the watch.

How do i synchronize my chimes on a westminster quartz abacus 401c wall clock

If it is like mine you press the test button until you hear the chime. Wait for the hour chime to go and count it. If it chimes once for 1PM and you need it set to 6PM then you press the test button to reset the chime and repeat press the button 5 times. This will set the chime to 6 PM. If you get lost on the time press until it makes no noise. This means you are 11PM or later and continue to then press until it makes noise again. Count the hour chimes and you are at the count in the AM. Repeat the steps and keep pressing to get to the proper AM or PM hour count..

I purchased a abacus wrist net on line with msn direct , and my battery isn't charging with my charger.

Your issue may not be that the watch is not recharging, it may just need to be reset. This will work on most, but not all of the abacus watches. You need to press all but the top left button at the same time. Do this 20x if successful, your watch will magically power up. I have this issue from time to time, usually right after a static shock. Hope this helps!

Hour hand does not match digital time

Hi, activate the touch screen, touch the middle of the screen 3 times slowly until you see the OPT in the LCD. press the middle big button on the side of the watch once until you see the 24H screen, then hold down the same side middle button for 5 seconds, the display will then say SYNCRO.

You first move the hour hand with the top and bottom side buttons to 12 touch the middle of your screen to set then move the minute hand to 12 as straight as you can, then press the middle of the screen to set to exact digital time. Thanks Mark ;-)
