When my watch started showing incorrect time and malfunctioning, I knew a reset might fix the issues. I used to feel intimidated by technical steps, but resetting a SKMEI watch is simpler than you think. In this guide, I’ll share clear, practical methods to reset both analog and digital SKMEI watches, so you can get your timepiece back to working properly.
Resetting a Digital SKMEI Watch
Most digital SKMEI models have straightforward reset functions. Begin by locating the “Mode”, “Adjust”, and “Reset” buttons (often labeled on the watch case).
- Press and hold the “Mode” button for 3–5 seconds until the settings menu appears.
- Use the “Adjust” button to navigate to the “Reset” or “Factory Reset” option (this may vary by model—check your manual for exact labels).
- Press the “Reset” button (or the corresponding button indicated on-screen) to confirm. The watch will clear all settings and return to default time and date.
If your watch has a touchscreen, follow the on-screen prompts after entering the settings menu.
Resetting an Analog SKMEI Watch
Analog SKMEI watches typically require a manual reset for time and date. Start by pulling the crown (the side knob) out to the second position (for time-setting).
- Turn the crown counterclockwise or clockwise to move the hands past 12 PM/AM twice, resetting the day/date if your model has a date function.
- For models with a separate date crown, push the small reset pin (usually near the 4 o’clock position) with a toothpick or pin to correct the date manually.
- Push the crown back in fully after setting the time to ensure no moisture enters.
Always refer to your watch’s manual for model-specific crown positions and functions.
Common Reset Issues and Solutions
- Buttons not responding? Ensure the watch has a functional battery—dead batteries can prevent resetting. Replace it first if needed.
- Date not resetting correctly? On analog models, avoid adjusting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent gear damage. On digital models, verify you’re in the correct settings menu.
- Manual needed? If your watch model has unique features, download the official SKMEI user guide from our website for detailed diagrams and steps.
