I have a Pulsar Analogue & Digital Type Series PP4 model PP4005. I am having trouble setting the analog time. When I rotate the crown, the minute hand and hour hand rotate, but when I set the correct time and push down the crown, the second hand does not move. I've had similar problems with other watches and its usually a matter of hitting a few buttons on the watch. But the buttons seem to only drive the digital aspects of the watch. Anyone know how I can get the second hand to move once again?

You can adjust the analogue hands without changing the digital ONLY when you have set the watch to 24hr fornat. Do this by going to the second Timezone screen (T2) and pressing the crown once briefly. If A or P appears, the time display is in 12-hour mode. If no letter appears, the time display is in 24-hour mode. To change mode, press crown briefly a second time.

Now go to the basic display where no digital info is shown. Pull the crown out. Now slow turning will adjust the minutes and fast turning the hours, but only of the hands. Therefore you can synchronize the two. After they show the same time, press the crown back in and adjust both times together using the crown as normal on the standard "Time" digital screen

Thank you for contacting FixYa.

Set Digital Watch
1. Press and hold the "Mode" button on the right side of your Arnette digital watch for three seconds to change the watch's mode. Press and hold the "Mode" button repeatedly until flashing digits indicate that you have entered the watch's time-setting screen.
2. Use the top and bottom buttons on the left side of your Arnette digital watch to increase and decrease number values as desired.
3. Press and hold the "Mode" button repeatedly to exit the time-setting screen and return the watch to time-telling mode.
Set Analog Watch
4. Pull out the watch crown on the right side of your Arnette analog watch.
5. Turn the watch crown clockwise to adjust the hands of your Arnette analog watch to the appropriate time.
6. Push the watch crown back in when you are finished setting the time on your Arnette analog watch.

Best regards. Jewel

To set the analogue to the digital time press the mode button (lower left until "HS" appears. Then use the two buttons on the right to advance or ****** the hands.

(these instructions are for my watch but I think that your will be the same. If not, go to the Casio web site (casio.com) select support, manuals, watches, agree terms and then watch manuals archive; fill in your watch details and download full instructions.

Short answer: You download the Operational Guide from Pulsar:

http://www.pulsarwatches.com/home2.asp#FAQ (look for N944 which is PGC series).

Longer answer: It is baffling to do this without the manual. You put the watch in -0- mode (crown fully in), pull the crown out to first stop, then us the A and B buttons to zero the 1/10th and second hands, then pull the crown out to second stop, then use the A and B buttons to zero the minute and hour hands. Then, you put the watch in "Time" mode (crown fully in), pull the crown out to the second position, and use the A and B buttons to set the time. You have no functioning second hand except for the stopwatch - in Time mode it acts as the calendar hand.

Which Fossil do you own?

Analog Date Watch:
Date Setting

1. Pull the crown out to position 2.
2. Turn the crown either clockwise or counter-clockwise and set the date for the previous day. The direction that moves the date varies on different watch models.

Analog Automatic:
Time and Date Setting

1. Pull crown out to position 2 and rotate clockwise to set time.
2. Pull crown out to position 3; date will advance automatically. To set to required date, continue to rotate crown between positions 2 and 3.
3. Push crown back to position 1.

Analog Digital:
Time and Calendar Setting

1. Press and hold pusher A for 2 seconds to enter setting mode. Year will begin flashing.
2. Press pusher A to select year, month, date, hour, minute, second, and then exit setting mode.
3. Press pusher B to adjust digit.
4. Press and hold pusher B to adjust digit automatically.
5. If no pushers are operated for 30 seconds, setting will be returned to Normal Time Display.

These are the three most common Fossils. If yours isn't here please let me know which model you have and I'll get you the instructions.
Hope this helps.

Thank you!

Hi,

Sometimes a watch will be off center due to shock, dead battery etc. Symptoms are; hands don’t line up, digital and analog time doesn’t match, Compass function doesn’t have the hands exactly opposite etc. This can all be fixed. The Synchronization function can be used:

1. Activate Crystal
2. Tap center until you are the unit’s screen (12h or 24h, F ft or C m).
3. Push and hold (at least five seconds) the center crown
4. Watch will beep and word (SYNCHRO) will appear in the display.
5. Use the top + button to line up the minute hand right on the 12.
6. Use the bottom – button to line up the hour hand right on the 12.
7. When finished, press crown and you will go back to time.

Had Pulsar analog watch. Couldn't set either day or date properly due to being unable to signify AM or PM. When days changed one or the other would be 12 hours off.
""googled" adjusting Pulsar watches" and found site which explained how. You set day of week and date to previous day and date and then move watch time ahead until day and date are correct. Then set watch time. Seems to work.

It is possible to set the main analogue hour and minute hand 30 minutes out of phase with the digital readout, but doing so will also put the analogue UTC dial 30 minutes off. It can be done by using a variation of the proceedure for zeroing the watch hands as follows: 1. Rotate the crown in its normal opering position to set the watch in chronograph mode (mode dial pointing to "chr") 2. Pull out the crown to the second click. This should cause all the hands on the watch to return to zero. "HR" should appear on the left-hand digital display. This will allow you to move the hour hand by twisting the crown. Advance it to about half way between the 12 o'clock and 1 o'clock positions. 3. Press the top button. "MIN" should appear in the left-hand digital display. This allows you to adjust the minute hand. Twist the crown to advance it to the 6 o'clock, or 30 minute, position. Note that this will also move the minute hand on the small UTC dial to the 30 minute position. 4. Press the crown back into its normal position. 5. Reset the digital time and date according to a time zone that is in a one-hour offset from UTC. This is not a perfect solution. Your digital readings will show the correct time for all one-hour offset time zones while your analogue nads are 30 minutes out of phase. Your small UTC dial will also be 30 minutes out of phase with the digital UTC. Hope this helps.

This problem may be due to your analog hands being improperly zeroed. To find out, try this: 1. Put the watch in chronograph mode by rotating the crowon in its normal position to "chr" 2. Pull out the crown two clicks. This should cause all of the hands to point to zero. If you do this and your minute hand points to 1 o'clock, or five minutes, you will know that this is the problem. If this is the problem, you can can correct it by zeroing the hands as follows: 1. Put the watch in chronograph mode by rotating the crowon in its normal position to "chr" 2. Pull out the crown two clicks. This should cause all of the hands to point to zero, or close to it. You should also notice the letters "HR" in the lefthand digital display. This allows you to move the hour hand by rotating the crown. If the hour hand is not pointing at 12 o'clock, rotate it so that it does. 3. Push the top button once. The letters "MIN" should appear in the lefthand digital display. This allows you to move the minute hand on the large dial, and the minute and hour hands on the small UTC dial. Rotate the crown so that the minute hand points directly to 12 o'clock. 4. Push the top button again. The letters "SEC" should appear in the lefthand digital display. Rotate the crown to point the second hand directly at 12 o'clock. 5. Push the crown back into its normal position. Set the digiatl time and date in your tie zone, and your analog hands should match the digital read-out. If the zeroing of the hands is not the problem, I don't know what is wrong with the watch.
