How to change date on Curren watch?


Recommended Posts

Hello, I bought a new Curren M8146 chronograph watch yesterday, but I am having a hard time changing the date of the watch. I can rotate the crown to change the time but pressing any of the top or bottom button does absolutely nothing. Please help!

usually brand-new watches come with warranty and instruction books?

the problem with a lot of the modern quartz watches is the setting instructions can be complicated.

I bought it online and it didn't come with an instruction manual.

don't you find it odd that it didn't come with a manual and any setting instructions? I was going to ask if this was a black market watch because  it seems suspicious no setting instructions. But  I found a link and  the price seems really really good for a chronograph?

then best way to get setting instructions is to ask the company  and I don't think you're going to like the answer..

Then for a better description  Amazon  has something which I'm going to quote "3 small dials can not work, just for decoration "

Actually that's not the answer. What is really sad is their watch companies out there manufacturing watches selling them as something they're not.

There's an interesting video similar to yours notice that just passed three minutes of him explaining what a wonderful outstanding watch this is he talks about the little second hands that are not functional. At least he tells you the hands the buttons are for show I've looked at their website and they say chronograph dial and conveniently skip over the non-functionality part it's very misleading.

Now does this mean you can't get a cheap chronograph? In a previous discussion somebody was trying to repair a chronograph and the movement can be found at the link below. You'll notice it's a chronograph movement. In quantity this movement is supposed to cost less than four dollars. So this means yes you can get cheap chronograph.

    • A already know the size movement I have the problem is the dial a had purchased has a dimension 20.6mm wide a want to find a watch case that going to fit the dial perfectly 
    • Hi.  I would like to take issue here regarding battery driven , watches, clocks,etc. I will and do repair these clocks in fact I have sever al in my collection as well as the regular mechanical ones. I have one on my mantle piece over 60 years old tha belonged to my wife’s Aunt,  long gone Iam afraid and it has been cleaned etc and never missed a beat and is accurate. Every one has their preduices as regards Electrical /electronic Horology but I regard it as part of the progress time line of the art of Horology and to be treated as such. Like Darwin’s theory of evolution it evolved.  Two cavemen knocking rocks together and a shard broke off , looking at it he worked out if it was stuck on the end of a stick he would have a spear. Likewise his pal seeing what he was up to picked up a piece  and did the same, now that’s evolution. Some clockmaker decided to build a clock that ran with a battery and no spring to wind up and break, progress and both the mechanical and battery driven clocks evolved, the battery ones got better to the point that if it broke you changed the complete unit. Likewise watches did the same but both can be repaired by people who approach Horology with an open mind without preduice.  We all have our likes and dislikes bu I for one would never dismiss any technology because I don’t like it.   The mobile phone is a good example of modern technology at work as is the automotive industry. There buttons and switches in my car I don’t use because to me they are not nesessary but I still drive the car.
    • I haven't gone through all the reading of what it might be or not. The first thing I would do if nothing obvious stands out is replace the mainspring, you have to start at the source of the power. Nine times out of ten that is the problem.  
    • Haha. You're just in a wicked mood today John 😅
