There are many reviews of this model, but almost no videos on how to set it up, except the Citizen's own video which some people might have trouble following, so I decided to do a video of the initial setup of the watch, and tried to explain everything as simple as I could, with examples.
I hope you enjoy, and I hope it helps someone!
I followed everything and my watch still will not show the correct day of the week. Its actually not on any day at all.. Any help? Thank you.
+Mr Mac it means your battery is low.
When the battery drops below a certain level it will stop showing day of week and show the battery level all the time.
Place your watch on a window sill facing outside for a couple of days and it should be OK
Watch Geek Man thank you so much ! It has been driving me crazy and I couldn’t find the answer anywhere. Even took it to a watch store today. You sure know your stuff ! Thank you so so much. I will be sure to keep following you. Thanks again. Take care ! :)
Watch Geek, it also worked for me. I had just purchased one and I thought it was broken. Sent an email to Citzen and they asked me to mail it to them. Instead, I watched your video and as soon as it charged it worked. Thanks for this great video!
I'm glad I helped, now email them and tell them about my videos 😄
Watch Geek knows far(far) more than me--- but one other thing that worked for me was pulling the crown out. Had an ecodrive that wouldn't take a charge after too long in the dark (long sad story). I pulled the crown and left it in the window sill for a full day. Now it works great.
Thank you. Yours was one of the videos I watched when I got my AT9064. And it's the one I call up most often when I need reminding how to change 2ndary time when I travel.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. Bought my H820 a year ago and the time was always 20 minutes off. Never saw directions on how to zero the hands. THANK YOU!
This has to be one of the best, most succinct and understandable instructional videos that I have seen in a very long time, clearly describing in simple terms and with quality video/commentary, a quite complicated sequence of actions required to set up this excellent watch.
My sincere thanks!
+Nigel Withyman you're very welcome, and a big thanks for the kind words 😊
Thank you. I had stopped wearing my watch for a couple of years. It was totally off. I had to bCk up and watch this a couple of times but I have it set. Thank again!
Thank you from Swizerland. I've saw your amazing video probably 10 times to finaly adjust my wife's watch.
Thank you for simplifying what was for me an unsolvable puzzle. Your precise progression of the settings of this watch is immaculate and I am indeed grateful for your video. Thanks a million
This is the best video on how to set up this model. I do have the women’s version of this caliber h820. These are wonderful watches, I have bought mine in 2021 and I love it! It takes some time to master on how to set it up , but thanks to this video learning is a piece of cake! Thank you 🙏
I'm glad to hear this video is still helpful!!
Please let me thank you for the FANTASTIC AND RARE VIDEO you have posted. Your video is entirely accurate and effective on every level. It has helped me immensely. I actually bought the watch discounted from a supplier who thought it was broken yet upon following your instructions I managed to obtain this fantastic watch at a discounted price...although it was the Women's model. Subsequently, I bought the Mens model for the normal price and because of you I am able to set it as well and use it perfectly. THANK YOU. My Fiancé and I are in the process of setting her Citizen Atomic in conjunction with mine for dual time...she in London and me in L.A. Thank you thank you thank you. I am indebted to you.
+Barry Fisher I'm glad I could help 😊
I hope your watch serves you for many years!
A couple of my friends got their solar atomic watches almost for free, because the store got tired of people returning them as broken, since nobody knew how to correct the hands.
They bought the watches, I set them up, and it's been on their wrists for almost 5 years now, so it DOES happen.
That's one of the reasons I do these videos, so people can learn just how awesome these watches are when you know how to operate them 😜
Life saver ! Just got this and it was driving me nuts - now it works perfectly !
I'm glad I helped 😊
Watch this video 2 yrs ago. Somehow i didn't realize i had the SMT on instead of STD and with the recent time changed my watch actually jumped ahead 2hrs, lol. So, i searched my history and watch again to adjust for daylight saving time. Thank you again...
Used this video to set up my AT9030-80L. Perfect! Thanks for the video!
+Jeffrey Threat I'm glad I helped and enjoy your watch 😊👍
This instructional video is still applicable today. I just used it on my AT9030 80L. What I thought was a broken timepiece is now set up to function perfectly. Thank you so much!
I received this watch yesterday and with this video I didn't even have to open the manual. Took 20 minutes and everything is setup and running perfectly. Thanks for taking the time to make this. I don't usually review things but if I leave a review anywhere for the watch I'll be linking this video with it.
Haha thanks and congrats on a new watch 👍
I had such a hard time understanding the instruction manual for this watch but you just make it easy with this "How To" .Finally after a long time I was able to set the time and date by watching this video. Thank you!
+Erick Kero you are welcome and I am glad I helped at least one person! :)
You sir a flipping legend! I bought this watch and the store included wrong the manual. I was completely confused with how to set this watch up and you answered all of my questions with your video. Much appreciation! All the best!
+Alex Gillott I'm glad I could help 😊
All the best in 2018.
Amazing video!!! I have struggled to get my watch back up and running correctly. Even multiple stores, that sell Citizen watches, couldn't get it correct and I just now did it in 15 minutes!!!!!
I'm glad I helped 😁
I just got mine in the mail today and after watching this vid for 2 weeks straight lol I had this beautiful timepiece all set and ready to go in 5 minutes😎 I can't thank you enough for this very informative vid!!! Oh just a side note: Pictures online DO NOT do this watch justice! It is simply gorgeous!
Congrats and yes, the watch is truly gorgeous in person 😊
I came across this watch online and thought of buying it, but was hesitant due to complicated nature of this type watch. Your video will be very helpful should I end up buying one. Thank you for a very informative video. I like that you didn't rush through the setup so I could really see how it's done.
Many Thanks! Very usefull discription and recommendation.
great help indeed thank you. I bought mine last 2016 of May. I had a problem with low battery, it wouldn't show the day indicator, instead, it showed the low level of battery ( my bad ) when every time i keep my watch, it's always inside a vault which is totally dark for a long period of days/weeks, so it was impossible to adjust the day hand. i charged it for like one day in a bright lamp stand 6 inches away then i adjusted the day hand:)
+DANCE For Life Zamora Brothers you should avoid keeping the watch in complete darkness as it will decrease the battery life dramatically and you will need to replace it way before it's expected life as repeated complete discharge hurts the battery a lot.
When you don't wear the watch try to store it out of the box in a room with normal ambient light
For some reason I didn't get a manual when I purchased mine. Glad I didn't as I would not have discovered the video. Perfectly stated and my watch is set for life including the leap year and automatic daylights savings time. You're the man. You took all the complexity out of setting up this amazing watch.
I'm glad I helped 😁
This video is OUTSTANDING 👍 Makes the instruction manual understandable. Thank you !
Thank you very much for a very comprehensive set of instructions! You made it easier to fully understand all the functions, and better appreciate the value of this beautiful watch.
+RAMON XT you're welcome and congrats on a truly magnificent watch
Hands down the BEST video on how to operate these complicated watches. This isn't my first radio controlled Citizen with these functions, but every time I get a new one I have to google how to set it up. I wish they all had videos so easy to understand and follow. Well done!
I have one of these awesome watches and I really love it, so much in fact that I also gave my mom one of the ladies versions for christmas last year. I have never had any issues with the settings my self. But I will say that your video about it's various functions is just spot on. You will help all those who have trouble figuring out how to set the various functions. The way you show it makes it really easy. Thank you for your good work.
Hitokiri2000 I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
it is one of the best quartz movements made today in my opinion, and I haven't covered everything about it, the one thing I didn't mention is the manual vs automatic DST setting, but I figured if you get to that point you will be able to find it in the manual
Yes I have activated the Auto DST setting on both my own and my moms.
I tried to a few videos and was lost in the steps. This was the video that finally taught me how to change the time manually. Thank you for posting and explaining it so well.
I'm glad I helped 😁
Thank you for explaining this watch in detail. It helped me understand my watch and admire the true beauty of Citizen Calibre H820 movement.
I'm glad I helped and I hope you'll enjoy it for years to come.
Just avoid storing it in complete darkness for long periods of time and you can expect A VERY VERY long life with it
omg been trying to figure out how to set up my watch for 2 days couldnt find anything useful. thank you ssooooo much
+Jordan Lopez haha I'm glad I helped :)
Extremely helpful instructions by you, Watch Geek, better than the official Citizen instructions. I’ve had this watch for about 4 years now and it is truly a great timepiece.
Thanks for the kind words and I find it to be one of the best watches Citizen ever made
Super helpful video that should really come with (or in place of!) the actual Citizen manual when you buy the watch. So easy to follow and really helped me out. Thanks!
+James Coghlan haha thanks
You Sir, by far have done the most understanding Instructions as well as the Citizens Customer Service wich both times I have called them, they have done a Super Job in helping me in how set the watch, this video I am saving just in case, Thank You very much for taking time to do this video, if anyone have trouble in following your instructions they are not to carry this master piece, again Thank You very much and Good Luck...👽🤙
Wow, i have been trying to do this for three years, thanks so much.
+Victor Hayes haha I'm glad I could help :)
It is very funny, bought it crusing the Med, it worked great till i put it in a drawer LOL, its a great watch from what I have been told. thanks again. Vic
+Victor Hayes don't store it in a drawer as that is the only thing that can kill these watches, if storing for a long period of time leave them in a lit room (normal daylight) because storing them in the dark for a long time damages and greatly reduces the battery life, if kept in normal lighting conditions you can expect 20+ years on a single battery, and YES it is a great watch :)
I searched on line and looked at several videos to get my watch figured out. Of all the "advice" yours was the only that worked...great job!!
That's nice to hear 😊
You're the best watches reviewer ever, well explained and professionally demonstrated to the least details .
I just subscribed to your channel.
keep up with your excellent job man.
Thanks again.
+Walid Yahia thanks for your kind words they mean a lot :)
And a special thanks for the subscription!
I have this watch and I absolutely love it. People often compliment me on it. I love the orange accents against the black dial. So many cool technologies implemented in this timepiece.
You are a life saver took this to watch maker's in Aus. trying to get the correct date set. Followed your set up steps now everything is as it should be. Your worth your weight in gold THANKYOU!!!!!
I was struggling to reset my time but this video really helped me to reset & paved the way to learn all the settings of my Citizen AT Radio controlled H 850 Watch. Thanks for making this video
My 9030 died in watch box... too many watches. I could not figure out how to set it up. Thank you for an awesome video I really love this watch. Lot of watch for the money.
Sir thanks for your explanation on this great best citizen watch and this watch is a wonderful world class for a middle class common man
thank your for the guidance. I received this as a gift and was not aware of its additional features. I love this watch!
thanks a lot. i could't set it with manual citizen provided. but you made it easy.
Dulkifil Ck I'm glad it helped you, that was my plan, as I saw people struggle with the manual
thanks brother
Got my 9030-55L yesterday and I'm grateful for this tutorial. It was a huge leap in complexity from my old Citizen, so I'm sure it saved me a few hours... and days of "I wonder if I did it right"-wondering. 😆
Great video man I spent a few hours messing with the instruction manual and I got close but for some reason I couldn't figure out why the hands weren't pointed the right directions. Turns out you were correct you had to reset everything like you showed in the video...
Thanks a million for your help
Thank you so very very much for this excellent video! I thought my watch was broken, it just lost it's calibration. Now it works great!a
+Peter Max I'm glad I helped and enjoy your watch 😊👍
I just purchased this watch and I did have the same problem with it not showing the day of the week instead it was showing the battery all the time. After watching your tutorial video and reading some of your comments, I am glad nothing was wrong with it and it just needed to be charged. Thank you so much! I also liked your video for the Citizen Grand Touring Sport, as it was my second watch purchased. Very happy with both watches. Like your reviews and your tutorials. Just subscribed. Thank you again for your great videos and your help!
Congrats on 2 great watches and thanks for the subscription, I appreciate it 😊
Awesome review. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
+Gabriel Peca thanks for watching 😊
I normally don't comment under videos, but this was so extremely useful I had to show my gratitude, thank you.
I'm glad I helped 😁
This tutorial is still useful in 2020! Thank you so much!
GREAT VIDEO. Extremely helpful. My watch had been apparently sitting in the dark before I received it a couple of days ago so had to soak it in the sun and then try and figure out how to set it. With your video and by following your instructions I was able to do so easily. THANK YOU!!!!!
You're very welcome
Fantastic video. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
+William Hawkins I'm glad I helped 👍😊
I just got my AT9031 today... I am absolutely loving it
Thank you! This worked so good! I messed it up by just turning the arms couldnt get is back! Now its proper set up aswell! Thanks again!
I loved this watch and i lost it. 2 years later my wife found it but it was dead. i tried everything until it went in the bin, unknown to me she took it out of the bin put it in the drawer. Then my wife found this Video so i'm trying again. she's really is google. Thanks for the video it's great. From a stressed pilot
I use this video whenever I need to fix the time or date. GREAT instructional video!
I have just ordered an 8010 which is very similar, I can't wait to try it out.

For some reason my watch fell out of the correct time zone but because this is one of my bookmarked vids the problem was solved straightaway.
Thanks again.
Everything is so ditailed, thank you very much for taking the time to explain everything
Thank you for the clear and concise instructions.... I'll be trying them out soon. Just ordered one-- the AT9010-52L. Has the feature set I've been looking for in a Citizen, Radio Control- Sapphire-Dual time- plus it is a sharp looking watch. Now I'll know how to set it up. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much; I didn't know about calendar setup 🥺🥺….
Thanks bro the way how you explained its really helpful .👍
Sorry to say my watch I just buy this week doesn't work as the way you explain it? Why I don't know? I can see the bottoms are a different then your's.
My watch model is citizen at9030-55l.
But I can see that it's working for many frustrated people so a great job you did👍
Hope I found out to use mine!!😵🤔🤔
Awesome video. By far the best tutorial. Thank you!
I bought this piece a few months ago and thank you sooooo much again for this vid because I set it up in 5 minutes! I do have a question though. If I manually put it in power save mode will it still take a charge or will it only charge while the second hand is still running? Thanks again for this vid and happy holidays to you!
thank you. this was extremely helpful
