Question
Hello Melvin! ELGIN SPORTSMAN WORLDTIME QUARTZ CALENDAR WRISTWATCH - I have replaced the battery, but now cannot get it to display the DAY (all other functions are ok) - I have never had instructions for this watch from new, and being quite complicated I am now totally frustrated! Inside the back cover is: MZB CHINA K7. On the back of the 'movement' is CR-60 - JAPAN - NO JEWELS - MYOTA CO. - PULL THE CROWN AND PRESS 3-P8 ALL TOGETHER WHEN REPLACING BATTERY - On the back cover is: Water resist 330FT - JAPAN MOV'T FG008-007

Can you help? Thank you, Phil

Answer
Philip,

Regarding your watch, it is a Citizen movement.  Miyota makes Citizen.

I am sending you a URL that will take you to a PDF file that will give you all the ins and outs of this movement.  If you cannot receive it, send me your email and I will email it.
