Someone please help me, I'm an idiot.
Hey TRF,
So I've only had my Bluesy for about a week or so and the date always seems to change at 12:00 p.m. I have tried changing the date back right after 12 p.m. and 12 a.m. to see if it required like a 24hr cycle or something and it would still change at 12 p.m. regardless. Is there a way to like zero it our so itll change at 12 a.m. instead. Im sure there an obvious answer, any help would be much appreciated. |

advance the hour hand 12 hours, set the date correctly, and that should do it. you have the watch set 12 hours off. |

It's really very simple. When you go past the 12 o'clock time for the first time, make sure the date DOES NOT change.....which means you've just past MID-DAY. Set the time to your current time, say it's 2 pm in the afternoon. Then, rest assured, the watch will flick over the date at MIDNIGHT. JJ

It´s just a joke my friend. We all know JJ never will give a bad advise.
But that is not the same I will agree with the guy everytime. Jocke

TR: don't believe these guys! It's bad to take advice from JJ because Bo and Jocke CREATED him in their laboratory somewhere up there in Scandinavia.
