I live in Rio, Brazil and there is no authorized repair shop here. My watch has stopped, I charged it but the time was wrong. I spent almost 2 months (!) to adjust it. And now, after watching your presentation, I finally set it to the right time. Thanks!!
Your welcome. Glad I could help.
I saw this watch in the Detroit Airport and held off buying ensuring myself it was not an impulse buy. I kept thinking and going on line and reading so finally made the purchase. I received it and anxiously opened it and saw it was in the wrong time zone and date was off, must of been in case for too long and battery was dead. I gave it a day to charge up thinking the radio control would catch it and correct time and date, WRONG.... I tried following the instructions but to no avail. The instructions should of said "Need Degree in Japanese Physics to set time and date". I went to a Citizen Watch Jewelry and begged for help as i was too confused. They told me it was too difficult and would take them 45 min to do it so i left .Then i went to youtube and saw a lotta videos but YOU my friend saved the DAY!!!! I was able to follow along with you step by step and set my new time and date on my watch. Thank you very much your video was and is the best instructional video out there on this watch. If anyone is reading this review look no further follow this video and only this video... Thanks again !
Tim Davis thank you so much for your reply Tim, this is the exact reason I put this video up online. Enjoy your new watch. It's one of my favorites still
Tim Davis same thing had happened to my watch as well
It’s been 1 year I was trying to fix my watch
Finally I did it after I see you video .well worth it thanks for your time and support it amazing
This is great, thank you!
Btw, the bezel is the outer ring of the dial and also the inner time zone bezel. The three buttons are not bezels. The one at 3 o'clock is the crown. The others are pushers.
Mark, this is the best and easiest video in order to set this watch up correctly. Throw out the manual citizen gives you! Your video tutorials are my go to for my resets etc. Given I don’t wear it much (thanks to Apple Watches) and it goes flat regularly, when I decide to to wear the blue angel again I need to watch your video first, reset, and go. Given I live in Melbourne, it’s like have you walk through it sitting next to me! Again Thanks Mark!
Very helpful video man, I was wondering if my ape mind was going to be able to comprehend the manual, then I found your video. I will recommend your video to anyone who gets this watch!!
MrGdawg125 thanks. I was the same, and not finding a video prompted me to make one. 👍
.o.You don't
I was going nuts with my watch until I see your video. The last step (Second Hand) is for setting the month and leap year. Dec at 12:00, Jan at 1:00, Feb at 2:00...ex. June 2021 (1 year since leap year)...point the second hand at one minute past the 6:00. Thank you very much.
Thank you for the explanation!
What happens if I set incorrectly at last step? Do I have to restart reset procedure or just force the watch into manual time update and it will update itself???
I was going to take a hammer to my watch out of frustration, and you saved it!! Awesome video!! Thank you!!!
You saved my Citizen Blue Angel Eco Drive from being tossed in the drawer of forgotten watches. Your tutorial was very well done and made resetting my watch easy. I had watched several other videos and yours was by far the best, Thank-you.
You're very welcome. It's such a great watch. Too good to be left in a drawer.
Thank you I have had this watch for over two years now and have only worn it twice. Somehow, the watch stopped and I could not get it going again. But thanks to your excellent video ut's running like new again and I can wear one of my favorites in my collection. This is a great video and easy to comprehend and the best that I've seen so far.
Thank you so much for connecting and commenting. It’s the reason I made this video because it’s a difficult reset. And also one of my favourite watches as well.
Cheers
Quick correction on the last part, it's not to set the second again, it's to set the month and "years past leap year". So the months are 1-12 on the dot. If it is a leap year, you leave the second exactly on the hour mark. For each year past leap year, you move the second hand one minute mark forward. So 2016 is the last leap year, so for March 2017 you'd set the second hand to the 16 minute mark
@gothops154 i'm confused about this last step of setting if you can help me, where do I need to set the it if the year is '24 July? I do everything good but not the last step am messing around probably. Thank you!
@@ivanalin4043 July is the 7th month so you would move it to the 7 o’clock hour mark (aka 35 minute mark). 2024 is a leap year, so you don’t add anything else you just leave it there. If for example we were in 2025, aka 1 year past leap year, you would add +1 and thus go to the 36 minute mark. If it was 2026, aka 2 years past leap year, you would go to 37. At 2028, you would reset and again go back to 35 minute mark (assuming it was still July - the 7th month!!)
For another example, if it was August, you would start at 8 o’clock aka 40 minute mark. For 2024 you would stay at 40. For 2025 you would go to 41, 2026 you would go to 42, etc. Hope this helps
@@gothops154 thanks for you're time bro' hope will help others also!
Oh my God!! My Blue Angels eco drive’s battery just died for the first time and I just couldn’t fix the time and date. As mentioned by other members, the GPS thing doesn’t work once the battery is dead. This video is so information and I guess it is the only video!! I will follow this step by step and see if I can make it work. Just came here for a quick thanks!
Hope it can help you out. 👌
This is the best video tutorial, no videos were as helpful as this one.
You saved my day. Keep up the good work.
THANK YOU!!!!! I had been trying to do this for a couple of weeks now using the manual, to no avail. Your video showed me everything!!!
Excellent video. My watch keeps messing around and I keep coming to it almost every year. Thank you so very much.
Awesome and really well-made video with high production-quality and totally accurate. I used it to reset my 2 y/o Citizen Blue Angels eco-drive watch which had inexplicably gotten about 29 minutes off no idea why it was fully charged. Anyway, followed all the very clear steps and was able to get it reset and now it is back to keeping great time. Thanks!
You're welcome. Glad my video. Could help.
I actually use this tutorial all the time. 🙂
This tutorial is superb.I was able to finally set my citizen AT8020-54L wristwatch.
Thank you so much for this easy and clear instruction, I've searched so much on internet and couldn't find any good instruction on how to reset and set the time properly, even the user manual wasn't clear but your video was fantastic. Many thanks
Absolute lifesaver. For some reason my bottom chrono was off mark so I was trying to follow the reset instructions on paper, but it was so much easier seeing you do it. What a legend
Super helpful, man. This watch is confusing as hell, but this made sense. Now I just need to follow the instructions.
Excellent, this is the only video that explains everything in a chronological order.
Great tutorial. I got my Blue Angel all set. I didn’t even m ow there was a daylight saving function but it makes sense. Thanks for that. With your guidance it isn’t complicated at all.
after watching your video several times (and some others, as well as the citizen web site) and getting partway there, the radio signal corrected the day, but on the next rotation of time signal it set the time back an hour (sheesh). this morning got the daylight savings correct (maybe). time will tell if the next time signal fights my progress. thanks, you got me started.
Sorry i speak little english, but is a great video, helped me a lot to reset my Citizen Blue Angel.
saga continues (with success). upper hand where dst set reverted to about 40 (9 o'clock position). because it had been stored so long in relative darkness, i suspected might be a charge indicator--and leaving under a very bright led flashlight returned this little hand to 12 o'clock, presumably fully charged. took about 20 minutes. thanks again.
superb video, extremely helpful and spot on, my blue angels eco drive went dead, replaced capacitor and reset according to this gentlemens direction and watch is up and running
Thanks for Your comment. Glad this could help.
Excellent tutorial. It would have been much more difficult to setup this watch without your video. No instructions came with my purchase, even thought it was New and tagged from eBay.
Your welcome. I’m glad it could help. I actually use this tutorial myself all the time, it’s so complicated 👌
You can get the manual online from Citizens.
Thank you for making this video.I was trying to re set time on blue angles watch but something went wrong, so after watching your video a few times i got it re set to factory settings. Your a genius
thanks Mick Fraser
Thanks for the feedback. Glad it could be of help to you
Wow!!!! So informative, I followed your instructions and 100% success. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach an old dog new tricks.
Your most welcome!!
It certainly is too good a watch to never wear again. Pity it’s such a huge ordeal to reset it. 😂😂
Thanks, I just watched your video and followed your instructions. I finally set this complicated watch thanks again!!!!!!
Wow man without your help it was not possible to understand this beautiful watch . After your very sharp explaning its so easy and thanks a lot.
For everyone who see this turtorial explaining. After several times looking the video you go to understand this watch. And with the II (stop of the video), you can easy work your step by step to understand this Citzen Blue Angels watch to what Mark explain. Mark you must have a high IQ and EQ. Again thanks a lot! :)
Thanks a bunch Stephen, I’m glad this is still helping people a few years after making it.
Thank goodness for this video! It certainly clears up the written instructions. This video is a must see and save for anyone that owns one of these watches!
Thanks Ol Kev. I’m glad this video is still helping people with this watch a few years later.
Very helpful. Out of the many videos I watched this is the one that actually helped. Thanks
You’re very welcome, I’m glad it helped, enjoy 😃
I never would have figured this out on my own thank you sooo much.
I get screwed at 7:07; the middle thing is already pulled out once. Pull it all the way out??? I'm startin to hate this watch...
…the instruction manual plus this video seem to work. Still aggravating though.
recap: Weeks since I did the reset, the watch works perfectly. Ultimately, the experience has given me a new appreciation for the way the sweep hand hits its target dead on 60 times a minute. I love it again.
Thanks for the beautiful demo you gave. There's one thing I couldn't get in the last part of the actual correction of time. I couldn't get the real time after correction. It was always behind about 4-5 minutes. And there was the problem of resetting it yet again, same result.
Love your video. Without this video i would never be able to set my watch. Amazing.
Thank you! Wish Citizen would make a version of this without "radio control" so would be easier to set.
TYVM sir perfectly and clearly explained i had no instructions with mine had set th time and date manually and wondered why mysecond hand stayed parked lol,once again TYVM definite life saver.
Thanks So very much. You have been a life saver. I was going mad at my decision to buy this watch, but now its fine.
ronnie alberts your welcome
Mate, this is the most useful video I've found regarding this watch, thanks loads!!
THANKS , VERY HELPFULLY , FINALLY I FOUND ONE VIDEO TO PUT IN TIME MY WATCH , IS VERY COMPLICATE BEFORE UR VIDEO NOW IS OKAY , THANK YOU A LOOOOT
Hi Mark...and the video is still helping us out now...thank you!
MRP thanks for taking the time to put together this very detailed video that in my option Citizen should have done on their website when they released this model awesome job !!!!
When I got to part 2, when we are supposed to select the closest city with the second hand, it just kept on skipping (2 sec at a time) and wouldn't stop. Not sure what's going on here.
Edit: it does that when the watch is insufficiently charged. I just let fully charged then followed along this instruction and it worked. Thank you!
Jeez, I just bought this watch as an impulse buy for like $270 CAD, and holy crap I can't believe how smart it is. Citizen's engineers really knew what they were doing when they designed this watch. It's like an analog version of a digital G-SHOCK but way nicer!
Thanks for this DIY tip. I followed your instructions to the T and it’s perfect now 👍
Thanks for taking the time to comment, I’m glad it helped
Best instructions, I was thinking I was going to have to send it in for repair
This video is a God send! The Citizen tutorial app is terrible. BTW, I am writing this on my wife’s account. I do like the watch! Thanks again. Ray
Thanks for commenting Ray.
It’s the reason I decided to make the video. Citizen should make better tutorials for there amazing watches.
Glad it could be of help 👌
Thanks, Man. it was very helpful. I was messing around with my watch from the last one week. it's finally done with your help. Thank you very much.
You’re welcome. I’m so happy this video is still helping people.
Great video thank you very much! Mine has been sitting for years because I was lisses that I can’t adjust it.
Great video! Thank you so much! Now one quick question: after the manual reset, will the watch still sync to the atomic clock nightly?
Thank you very much!!! You have finally after 5 years, made me enjoy this watch. Great video! What a watch saver you are.
Hi Mark, Thanks so much for posting this vid. It's managed to resolve some of the issues with mine, but I still appear to be having dramas with the second hand jumping and moving about. I'm starting to suspect it is either loose on axis or something else is wrong internally. Ever seen that happen? When I pull the crown out half way to start the manual setting (after doing the full reset) the second hand doesn't move back to the 12 o'clock position (it's at the 3 o'clock).
Thank you very much for your excellent video, helped me a lot fix my Red Arrows.
Thank you! Made it look easy.
Ahhh... still so good after all these years
Thank you very much for taking your time in making us this helpful video.
Excellent video. Only the buttons are not called bezel. the bezel is the ring around the mineral glass. The top and bottom one are called pushers and the middle on is called the crown
Well done Mate! Saved my time and money.Goodon u .
You’re welcome Eldo!! Happy to help
Best tutorial so far. Thanks
Thank you for your awesome tutorial video. Now I know what watch NOT to buy.
Haha!!
It’s a bloody brilliant watch that has the most technically difficult reset on the planet
Helped out a lot to resetting it! Thanks!
Superb. Was gonna give up on this watch...
Thanks 🙏 a bunch. Saved my day.
Great post. Still waiting for my AT8020-54L. I'll be armed and ready.
Thank you! I was going crazy trying to figure this thing out 😊
Your very welcome. I’m glad it could help
I learned how to set my watch and earned a degree in astrophysics.
Great post, except the part about the second hand. The second hand sets the month and year. But great post overall.👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
thank you it helps a lot its so hard to work on it
bruno mora your welcome.
Great video. Due to covid the watch has been strored and the battery emptied...
Do you know a web site where I can get a new bracelet? thanks!!!
dude excellent video tutorial. Work just like you explained. thanks.
The watch is my favourite but hard to set, very frustrating
Agree!
I keep mine on the windowsill permanently now so I never have to reset it 😄
Thank you so much! work ed perfectly mate!
This helps me so much 👍
Thanks Bro, very accurate, works perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Extremely helpful video man. Thanks a ton for posting this
You’re most welcome. Glad it could be of assistance
As beautiful as it looks, this watch is a friggin' headache. I am guessing all Eco-Drive watches are a pain to reset. If you have a lot of watches you won't be wearing this often and if it's not exposed to light it will die. Just to bring it back in order to reset it, you have to charge it in light for days. Extremely painful. Then to reset it, it is another headache. Thanks to this awesome video the resetting process is made simple, but overall, I would say, don't buy an Eco-Drive unless it's the only watch you will have.
Naw, I only wear mine every couple of weeks. Just make sure you store it where it gets light every day...such as in a glass-top watch box. This watch looks like it ought to cost about 5 times what it actually does cost, and all Eco-Drives are beautiful, practical watches (although admittedly a PIA to set manually), so everyone should own one.
I'm looking at getting this watch. Does it wear alright? I guess I'm thinking of that plastic looking blue angel decal on the back of the watch. Is it fading or anything? Cheers
A Nugent it wears beautiful. It is not real heavy for a high quality watch. The rear decal hasn't faded one bit and it has barely any scratches for being 3 years old.
thanks, i think! i suppose someone could do this, but not me. next time target practice, this thing goes with me (as the target).
The best video what I found on net for blue angel . thx
Still a helpful video in 2019. Thanks, mate. I have a question, though. How do you adjust the time if I need to? My watch is five minutes behind the actual time.
Thanks heaps, I’m glad this is still useful, I used it myself a few months ago 😂😂
As far as I know there is no way to manually set the time without resetting the entire watch
However let me look into this a bit more and get back to you.
Cheers.
Mark
Very helpful thanks!!!
Muchas gracias por el vídeo, después de varios vídeo que e mirado . Pero ninguno no me ayudó. Tengo un citizen Blue ángel ecodrive. Pero lo deje de usarlo por un tiempo por eso se perdió la hora y la fecha , gracias por el vídeo es tan inglés y yo ablo español . Gracias
A bezel is not the same things as a button. That was confusing. What you call bezels are buttons and the crown. The bezel is the ring around the crystal of the case.
That was wonderful, it helped to set my time correctly at last. 👍
Glad this video is still helping people
Thank you ❤ very much. Finally i reset my watch.
You’re welcome. Glad I could help out.
Awesome video! I like it
Thanks for tutorial
I was part way through the reset and ran out of charge. I’ll set it in the sun tomorrow. Thanks I’m ready to get it straight
Really Helpful.
Mark great video but how do i set up the automatic time update where i place the watch to the east and during the night it updates on its own....
I thought this watch had perpetual calendar but I didn't see you putting leap year correction. So I suppose it has only annual ?
Thank you ☺️
Easy directions!
great help jewelers here in tampa fl didn't have a clue.
Your welcome. Glad this could help.
Thank You!!
Hey Mark. How do I manually set my watch? I am not able to get my time zone correctly set. Cheers!
Great post dude thank you so much
You’re welcome
Hey mate, I'm in Mexico city, when u put the time on Sydney.. Ive to change it for Mexico? Cos the near or my country is LAX Los Angeles, so, which one Ive to put in the saving days, cos if I do like u my time is wrong when I finish the video :(.. Help!
Great video, but isn't the point of this watch that it's able to set everything (aside from time zone) by itself?
Yes this is true. However the only way this works is by keeping sun (power) to it constantly.
Not to mention. There are a number of cities the ‘auto function’ does not adhere to.
Still a ripper watch though 😎
@@MarkEnsbeyMPR Ah I did not know that. Are you saying it'll only get a radio signal if the battery level is over some percent charged?
Kevin Lambert the radio signal only works in certain cities and countries.
For example. The whole of Australia, it o my works in Sydney. But the battery also needs to be above 10% I think to function correctly
Thank you
