How to Set the Citizen Perpetual Calendar E820, Never set the date until the year 2100!

I have not worn this watch in over 5 years because I have not been able to get it set. I have spent an amazing amount of hours and frustration following other instructions but Between your reset video and time setting video, in less than 15 minutes my watch is finally set. THANK YOU

If anyone from Citizen monitors this channel, listen well: You seriously need to hire this man to re-write your manuals! As they are now, they are incomprehensible, at least to English speakers. I found law school to be a piece of cake compared to setting my new Citizen watch by using the manual, and I finally gave up at about 4:00 a.m. last night. After spending 5 minutes with this guy, though, I get it. Thank you, my British friend!

Man, am I glad you did this video! My watch has been sitting on my desk for quit awhile with the wrong date, and you've made adjusting it easy to understand! Thanks!

Purchased this movement of watch a few days ago and unfortunately no instructions provided with the watch. This was by far the most straight forward video for setting the watches date function, appreciated

This video was 400 times more useful than anything I could get out of citizen and i will no longer be sending it in for repair since it was never broken. amazing. thank you.

I was dreading the upcoming leap-day until I found your video. THANK YOU

I have watched several videos on this and you by far provided the BEST instructions without taking for granted I knew something already and left no step unturned. Thank you....I got my watch back now!!!!

At last! Crystal clear instructions for setting this particular watch. I believe the watch has had a lot of unfair criticism from owners because they have difficulty setting it up. The instruction manual leaves a lot to be desired, it's far from clear, mainly down to translation problems. Well done, you have probably saved many E820's being consigned to a dusty drawer never to be used.

Hi. Thanks so much for this video. Pushing the button after the crown coming out fixed a very big headache.
The explanation of setting the whole watch is superb.
Massive thanks for the time! No pun intended, and effort to make the video. Top job.

Thank you so much for this video! I have two Citizen Eco-Drive Perpetual Calendar watches. Whenever I forget how to set it -or just change the time - I watch your video. I have about five eco-drive light charging watches. I have a Citizen Nighthawk I have had for 20 years on the original “charging capacitor” that is still going strong. I’ll never change a battery in a watch ever again!

Wow I’ve had my watch for 6yrs ran it for 2 . I thought it was done, took it to an honest watch guy and he told me it moved a a little so just keep it in sunlight or even light period and it would work.and it did so happy, thanks for this video to show me how to set all dials.You are a charm for this.!

Your watch setting video is the best one on the internet! Thank you

[keithsweat]

That was an exceptional video! I have two perpetual dates brand new that ive never worn for 10 years because I couldnt get them set, I just bought another and the Citizen manual is still rubbish, This is perfection!

[geoffmassingham]

Thanks, I've followed other instructions but to no avail, I found you by mistake, glad I did absolutely brilliant after owning my watch for 2 yrs I've DONE it!! THANK YOU.

[lljay]

Thank you so much I just bought this watch because of your video, I’ve looked at so many reviews on Amazon and ppl are returning it because they don’t know how to set it up 😂😂😂

[richardnewell]

Thank you for this video, I was going to throw my watch away because I couldn't set it properly and I've watched this many times and the other video about zeroing it aswell and now my watch is working perfectly so big thank you absolutely brilliant and easy to follow

[jjbowmancom]

I am so happy to find this video. My perpetual calendar has been messed up for over a year. This video makes it easy to get it dialed in. Much easier than the owners manual.

[tylerdamien]

Finally a clear and concise video for this puzzle of a watch, thank you!

I have owned this same watch since 2012. This is the best instruction on this watch on Youtube.
Great video!

This is the clearest explanation of setting this watch that I've seen.
