How to Set an Armitron 20/1501

Set your Armitron to the correct time, date and day of the week.

The Armitron 20/1501, manufactured by the E. Gluck Corporation, is an analog watch that can also track the date and the day of the week. Eugen Gluck founded this corporation, which has been producing watches since 1955. If you've misplaced the instructions for your watch, it may not be immediately obvious how to set the day of the week and the date. Once set, however, you can know the time and date wherever you happen to be, even in 165 feet of water.

Things You'll Need

• Small flathead screwdriver

Instructions

1. Locate the knob on the right side of the watch.

2. Pull the knob out two clicks to its farthest point, using a small screwdriver or your fingernail. Rotate the knob in either direction to set the correct time. Push the knob in, returning it to the neutral position, flush against the watch.

3. Pull the knob out one click. Rotate the knob to adjust the date and the day of the week. Each turn will advance either the day or date. If either the day or date is unresponsive, finish setting the one that is responsive, and pull the knob out an additional click to its farthest point. Rotate the knob, cycling the watch through 24-hour periods until the day or date, depending on which was previously unresponsive, is correctly set.

4. Reset the time and push the knob to neutral, flush against the watch.
