Post by j***@gmail.comI FOUND OUT THAT YOU HAVE TO REALLY PULL IT HALF WAY AND TWIST THE KNOB
Hi all
Pls read below the whole process, as copied from a Timex manual some time ago.
Done it in my WR100 after battery replacement and it worked perfectly (a bit complicated though...)
"Your Perpetual Calendar watch accurately keeps track of how many days are in each month. It also adjusts for leap years. The date on your watch (including the month and year) was preset at the factory. You only need to adjust the time.
To set time, simply pull crown all the way out and turn. Day and date change automatically when time is adjusted past midnight; there is no additional step for setting day or date. Push crown in when done.
After setting, if date changes at noon, time needs to be adjusted ahead or back 12 hours.
If crown is accidentally put in MIDDLE position and turned, date display will change temporarily, but date setting is unaffected. Simply pull crown all the way out and set time. Proper date display will resume.
The following procedure is only necessary after battery replacement:
Set time and day of the week first, then set the date as follows:
If the setting is not done properly, push reset switch arm or remove and reinstall battery and repeat procedure in order for perpetual calendar feature to work.
* Pull crown to middle position. (If necessary, turn crown until date is centered in date window)
* Push crown in.
* Pull crown to middle position and wait for at least 10 seconds (date moves back and forth)
* Turn crown until '1' is displayed in date window and push crown in. (date moves back and forth to indicate start of date setting)
* Pull crown to middle position and turn crown until correct date is shown (1-31).
* Push crown in (watch displays '2' in date window, to indicate start of month setting)
* Pull crown to middle position and turn crown until correct month is shown (1-12).
* Push crown in (watch displays '3' in date window, to indicate start of year setting)
* Pull crown to middle position and turn crown until correct year is shown (last two digits).
* Push crown in.
Watch will show correct date for battery's life. If date changes at noon, adjust time by 12 hours.
If incorrect date is shown at beginning of month, date may not have been set. Follow procedure above.
If date does not move back and forth after waiting ten seconds, in fourth step above, push reset switch arm, or remove and re-install battery and repeat procedure.
HOW TO CHECK DATE
Once date is set, you may check it, but this is not necessary.
To check month setting:
* Pull crown to middle position
* Turn crown until '2' is displayed in date window and push crown in.
* Watch displays month for five seconds and then resumes normal date display
To check year setting:
* Pull crown to middle position
* Turn crown until '3' is displayed in date window and push crown in.
* Watch displays year for five seconds and then resumes normal date display. If date is incorrect, push reset switch arm or remove and re-install battery and follow SET DATE procedure above.

Hope the avove helps
