This problem may be due to your analog hands being improperly zeroed. To find out, try this:
1. Put the watch in chronograph mode by rotating the crowon in its normal position to "chr"
2. Pull out the crown two clicks. This should cause all of the hands to point to zero. If you do this and your minute hand points to 1 o'clock, or five minutes, you will know that this is the problem.
If this is the problem, you can can correct it by zeroing the hands as follows:
1. Put the watch in chronograph mode by rotating the crowon in its normal position to "chr"
2. Pull out the crown two clicks. This should cause all of the hands to point to zero, or close to it. You should also notice the letters "HR" in the lefthand digital display. This allows you to move the hour hand by rotating the crown. If the hour hand is not pointing at 12 o'clock, rotate it so that it does.
3. Push the top button once. The letters "MIN" should appear in the lefthand digital display. This allows you to move the minute hand on the large dial, and the minute and hour hands on the small UTC dial. Rotate the crown so that the minute hand points directly to 12 o'clock.
4. Push the top button again. The letters "SEC" should appear in the lefthand digital display. Rotate the crown to point the second hand directly at 12 o'clock.
5. Push the crown back into its normal position. Set the digiatl time and date in your tie zone, and your analog hands should match the digital read-out.
If the zeroing of the hands is not the problem, I don't know what is wrong with the watch.

Citizen EcoDrive does not have calibre 2100. This is ordinary quartz calibre and uses battery SR-626W. This battery will last for 2 - 3 years and is not rechargeable.

The point of a radio-controlled watch is that you should not have to move the hands manually. It is meant to respond to a time signal send from various places in the USA, UK, Germany, Japan and (I think) China.
The signal's strength varies considerably, depending on where you are located and the ambient temperature. It may need some application and persistence to get the watch synchronized with the signal, this will cause the hands to move to the correct local time - even then it may need correction if you are in a different UTC time zone or on Daylight Saving Time (DST) locally. Not knowing the make complicates the validity of any information.
I have found that the sync signal is broadcast on the hour for about five minutes and is best received at night where the signal travels further.
Ensure your watch is fully charged and leave your watch by a window overnight for best results.
If you still have difficulty, use an internet search to find the nearest broadcast station to where you are and work out which direction-facing window is best sited to face it.
I have two RC watches - one Citizen and one Casio. One likes to have the left side of the watch facing the window and the other favours the 12 o'clock facing the window, As I don't know the make of your watch I would recommend trying to place it in various orientations until you find one that works for you. I have found the whole set up performs best in cold air situations - and so are more reliable in the winter.
Guessing further, If you bring up the signal display function it may force the watch into signal sync mode - always remembering the 'on the hour' signal broadcasts. You may also find a way of adjusting the hour to suit if it differs for you once it is synced.

It will be very difficult if you don't have the right tools
You would need a hand press of the right size. You would need a tool to open the case back, you would need to know how to remove the crown and stem in order to remove the dial with the movement. It would be also a good idea to have it tested for water resistance and you would need a special aparatus to do that. You may also need to replace the I ring or gasket.

On the bottom of the battery there is a connector with a nub sticking out in one direction only on the bottom and one on the opposite side that juts out and then up. The nub that does NOT stick up should line up with the tiny arrow that is in the battery slot, and you will notice a tiny slot on the opposite side for the other one that juts up. it should stick up and is suppose to touch the back plate of the watch i believe.
