I watched this video a few times before I understood it. The days can go forward and backwards but the date can only go forwards. I just got my grandfather's watch serviced and setting it for the first time, kept trying to pull the dial out just one click vs two and found your video looking for answers!
PERFECT!!! Exactly what I needed to know to set my watch.... Which just happens to be the exact 1973 Timex automatic 'UFO' model shown in the video! Thank you!
I recently purchased a 1970’s Timex analog watch with the day/date feature; and was befuddled that the stem only pulled out once! How would I coordinate the weekday with the date? Thanks to your video, I was able to do it!🕒👍
I have an old Timex and needed this info. What has annoyed me is that the watch used for this video is the one I have been looking for. Had one back in the 70s, and would love to own one again
Sorry, did I miss that part about what one does the 5 months that only have 30days and the one 28 day month? My guess is you set it by hand since the watch has no idea what month it is.
Yes, you have to advance the date manually in that case. You can get watches that do it automatically called annual calendars, or if it includes leap years then they are known as perpetual calendars - but they are outrageously expensive

Can I have yours then?
Same. I kept pulling the stem, expecting that typical second click and could have broken the watch. All good now. Enjoy!

Thanks buddy! I got a 1970s Timex Dynabeat today and it was driving me crazy that I couldn't get it on the correct date. You're a life saver!
Very useful watch. I got a birth year 1978 automatic with day day and was stumped at how to get day date both correct. Thank you for your service.

Can you go reverse for the date?
Or do you have to go through all the date’s until you reach your date?
Seriously, I didn't understand that at all
I got the same watch 🤣
What if it’s more than one day
Repeat as necessary
