Reset the time by 12 hours. Just wind the hands to the right time but only go around once not twice. So for example it's 5 pm now. Wind the hands around again to go to 5 again. It should do the trick.
Its easy to tell if its battery operated or self wind. Turn the crown (where you set the time) forward. Self wind watches will click as you turn the crown. If its battery operated then you will hear no clicks. Some watches have a screw down crown so if the crown wont turn forward then try turning back. Some watches have a capacitor that needs to be charged! Seiko Kinetics are charged by movement like an older automatic. Citizens are charged by light!
The eco drive means that it charges the battery using artificial light or sunlight, there is no need to wind as the battery never runs out of charge providing you keep it in light.
A wind up watch can be calibrated. Take the watch to a watch maker for this adjustment and standard service. This is certainly not a task you should try to undertake.
Also, if you are calling around for pricing make sure you have the brand right and the model number or case back number available. This will make it easier to get a price quote on service.
The battery model number that needs to be replaced should be located on the outside of the back side of the wrist watch and if not you can always open the watch up and look and see what model number is on the gbattery itself. If the battery is not the problem then you may need to take your watch in and have a professional person to look at it. Hope this helps you.
Since it's eco-drive you can just wear it for a few hours and it should self-wind. The problem is that when it sits still for more than a few days it winds down. It gets its power from the natural movement of your wrist as you walk around.
Once it starts ticking again you'll just have to set the time correctly.
