Very clear and useful instructions - congrats ! The instructions helped me to set the watch back to the correct time. - Thank you 😀 ! Three comments : to understand how this watch works in detail, you should take your time and watch the entire Video. However : if you are in a rush - go to 9:05 for manual receipt of the radio signal & automatic setting of the correct time (before you do this, first you have to set the correct nearest city) - if this doesn't help you maybe have to reset all hands of your watch to zero, then go directly to 12:58 and start from there - have fun with your watch 😃
Just another Tip if your seconds hand is skipping a second that means the watch is on power reserve and will Lock all the features until you take it out in the sun
after you set the time zone dont forget to press the upper right button for about 2 seconds so you can save the settings then you can proceed in time, day and date settings.
Because Citizen attesa AT8040 is with a push-pull type crown . So after settings, when it is time to wear the watch just push the crown to position "O". No need to screw. Right?
Please keep making quality products, but don't forget to use quality bands, clasps and buckles too, my brand new leather band's clasp pin came off, and Citizen warranty does not cover the band, even though it was less than a year since I purchased the watch.
When I set correct date on the watch, after few days watch itself advance date by one day although I do every thing like in this video,,,, Please can someone help me to this nervous problem?????
With the H804 movement (I am getting the Promaster Navihawk A-T Green / AT8227-56X), is it possible to set DST to Manual for just a single time zone? I live in Arizona, which doesn't observe DST, but I frequently travel to the east and west coasts of the USA. So, what I want is to have DST Automatic for: HNL, ANC, LAX, CHI, and NYC - but have DST Manual for DEN. Anyone know if that is possible? The manual uses a double asterisks and says "For a city indicated by * *, the daylight saving time indication and the standard time indication are linked together" and the * * cities are: ANC, LAX, DEN, CHI, and NYC. I interpret the manual's language as meaning that there is only one common setting of manual (DST off) or Automatic (DST on/off based on data in the most recent radio time sync) for those 5 cities. But the language isn't particularly clear. It could also mean that setting DST = manual immediately also sets DST off; but every city still gets its own individual setting for DST manual or automatic. I suppose I'll find out when I get the watch. But if I'm right and there is only one setting for that group of 5 cities, I guess what I'll have to do is set DST to manual & off when I'm home in Arizona (bottom of page 29 in the AT8227-56X manual). Then if I travel to California or Maryland, when my plane lands I have to pull the crown out 1 click, set the new time zone (I'd have to do this anyway); but then while the crown is out 1 click, I'll also have to press and hold the lower right button for 2 seconds to switch from DST manual (bottom sub-dial down) to DST auto (bottom sub-dial up). Then when I fly home I'll have to do the process backwards: set the time zone to DEN and turn DST back to manual & off. Curious if anyone else has had to deal with this?
I just bought the same model but with the blue dial with red accents. I haven’t encountered this situation (and probably won't) but your method seems to be the only way for your needs. I own many citizen watches with world time/multiple TZ's (almost half of which have the atomic function) and as far as I know the only watches that have this selective DST option are the ones with a digital readout. Are you a collector? Navihawks are great, but the Skyhawks generally carry this feature you want.
@@Chef_Alpo I am not a collector. I had a Citizen 7875-H04945 from ~August 1999 - November 2021. Wore it every day for 20+ years. I wore it swimming. I wore it water-skiing. I wore it motorcycling across Iceland, New Zealand, Alaska, Canada, and Arizona. It never missed a beat, until Thanksgiving 2021, when it started losing ~20 minutes / day and ticking funny. I sent it back to Citizen in CA for a repair and they said they didn't have parts for a model that old. They offered me 50% off MSRP for any of their current non-limited edition or GPS models if they could keep my old H04945. I was bummed to lose the old one, as it was a gift from a dear friend 20 years ago, but I decided on the AT8227-56X. I considered the Skyhawk briefly, but I prefer analog hands to digital displays. I've had it a month or two now, and I've been very happy with it. The world time feature actually works better than what the manual says (must be a lousy Japanese to English translation). It lets me set DST (or SMT, as Citizen calls it) to automatic/manual mode individually for every time zone; and it lets me set DST on/off for every time zone. So, as I live in AZ where DST isn't observed, I pull the crown out 1 click, set the time zone to DEN (as indicated by the second hand), set DST to 'MANUAL' (bottom sub-dial pointing down), and DST to 'OFF' (upper sub-dial pointing to 'OFF'). Then for HNL, ANC, LAX, CHI, & NYC I just set DST to 'AUTO' (bottom sub-dial pointing up). I recently confirmed this all worked the way I want it to when USA switched over to DST on 13 March 2022. On 12 March, I would pull the crown out 1 click and switch from the DEN to LAX time zone setting. The watch hands would move CCW by 1 hour because LA is 1 hour behind AZ during standard time. The upper and lower sub-dials don't switch to indicate the settings in the new time zone until after the time hands are done moving. Then, on 14 March 2022, I did the same thing, pulled the crown out and switched from DEN to LAX. The time hands didn't move at all, because during DST, AZ and LA are the same time! But the lower sub-dial switched from down/'DST Manual' (the DEN setting) to up/'DST AUTO' (the LAX setting) and the upper sub-dial switched from 'DST OFF' (which I set manually for DEN) to 'DST ON' (which was set via the radio signal from CO for LAX). WAY COOL! and perfect for my needs. I have no idea what the manual meant by "For a city indicated by * *, the daylight saving time indication and the standard time indication are linked together". Neither of my original hypotheses panned out after I received my AT8227-56X. Citizen should just delete that language as it is very confusing and, frankly (I think), wrong. The 56X definitely lets me set individual time zones as either DST AUTO/MANUAL and DST ON/OFF. In fact, I just tried setting the LAX time zone to DST AUTO and DST OFF, even though it is 20 March 2022 and DST should be ON. When I initially made the DST OFF setting selection (but left LAX in 'DST AUTO' mode), the watch turned back an hour. But then I did an "On-Demand Reception" and the watch corrected my mis-setting of DST to off for LAX. Because the LAX time zone was in DST AUTO mode, the watch switched back to DST on as soon as it got a signal update from the CO radio station. Cool. I keep my watch in a kitchen drawer in the middle of the house at night and I've had about 3/5 nights where I get a signal update. Since the watch doesn't drift any appreciable amount of time over 2-3 days, that's a perfectly acceptable signal reception rate for me. On-demand signal reception seems very location dependent. I've had the best luck with a south-facing window so far, but haven't experimented very much with the On-Demand signal reception. Don't see the need unless I am experimenting to figure out what the manual should have said. All very interesting stuff. Might be a moot point soon though, as the US Senate just passed a bill to put all of USA onto permanent DST. Over to the HoR to see what their take is. Personally, I'd rather see USA on permanent Standard Time, but in principle we should stop switching around twice per year. AZ's got it figured out on that front! But at USG speeds, we probably have another 10+ years of DST swaps to concern ourselves with.
I have never disliked a watch the way I have this one. EVERYTIME I want to wear it it's dead has to be completely reset. I've had several EcoDrives but never the Radio watch. I'm assuming that's what run it down so fast. I ended up buying a light charger to set it when it's not being used.
Sounds like you have defective capacitor or something along those lines, I own many atomic/radio ecodrives with more demanding options than this movement and they hold charge well, far as I know each one should have at least a 6 month run time after a full charge. Try sending it to Citizen customer service, they guarantee the capacitor for the life of the watch to my understanding, my Satellite Wave is on the way back from them for that very reason. I bought it from a refurbished outlet and they still replaced the capacitor at no charge to me without question.
actually they gave the correct instruction, you just need to analyze properly, make a trial and error, then you will figure it out. It took me 2 hours to set everything, but after that i know how to do it anytime.
My watch does not respond like the video. Expensive piece of junk. It is useless for travellers as you have to have a video to show how to adjust on each landing, if it actually worked.
It's just always WRONG. If it sets more than a few days it stops running. You have to either go through this whole video or wake it up and let it set in the window a day , sometime two days to let it set itself. TOTALLY DISLIKE IT.
Nobody should ever have to spend 30 to 60 minutes setting their wrist clock! A cellphone is much more accurate and why couldn't you show indicators in your video how many clicks the crown is in or out! One arrow or two left or right based on the picture! Only a fool has fools pride! If you just need to set one function this should be covered individually! If your actually paying attention these instructions are a perpetual loop and your quality of support is highly in question! Poor attention to detail WTF!!!! I thought pride in the Asian community was based on intelligence!!!!!!
If you want money earn your company will always need to continue it's reputation!

The instructions worked for me except for the very poor translation of how to view your citizen time zone, bypass this step if this is information is already correct, and a customer service number based on your location!

Big thank you for putting this video together! I hadn't worn this watch for years because I didn't take the time to look for this video until today
Just another Tip if your seconds hand is skipping a second that means the watch is on power reserve and will Lock all the features until you take it out in the sun
Thank you ! Was confused for a second
All reset 13:00
if you can’t figure out what to do, always do the reset then try it again, i did so many times before i finally solve this thing.
after you set the time zone dont forget to press the upper right button for about 2 seconds so you can save the settings then you can proceed in time, day and date settings.
