If this is a serious question.......Just wind on your watch by twelve hours and you will be fine.

Your watch thinks its midnight at noon . Roll it back to yesterdays date then start rolling it forward untill todays date rolls over then advace the hour and minute hands untill it turns past noon and move forward or back to you hit the correct time.

Hi and welcome to TRF.

Obviously, your watch has been set in such a way that it recognises noon as midnight and thus the date change at noon.

All you do is advance the watch until you pass the 12 hour mark once more and then set to the current time in your place.

Cheers - JJ

Or try this:

Take the watch off your wrist and keep it still until it stops running. Then wait 12 hours exactly and wind it again. Bingo, now you are running spot on again (although the date might be 1 day behind, in which case you would have to wait 12 hours + 1 months)

kklarin - I truly apologize for the funny comments, but this is hilarious. On a more serious note: Welcome to TRF.
