How do I set the date on my Fossil AM 3108 watch . The Time and day are ok but I cant set the date.

sometimes during time set, the hands are set to change date at day time.
check it your date turns during 12 noon, if yes move the hands clockwise until you set your time and date on sync.
say you want to set your watch date:10th and time:10:15am
adjust your date at 9th
then move your hands clockwise until the date turns to 10th at the 12 thats the 12 midnight.
then continue moving your hands clockwise until you reach 10:15am

mcdevito75 here, If your Fossil watch has a winding stem it may have 2 positions, gently place a fingernail under the crown and lift as gently as possilble, this should allow you to adjust the date without having to cycle thru the 24 hours to get to the date you want. It may take practise but that first position should be there, Set the date to 1 day before the date you need, then set the watch normally the full 24 hour cycle to get the date you want, this way the watch date will set as suppose to at about mid-night for the next days date.

mcdevito75 here, There are many versions of Foosil watch, If yours has a stem (winder) it"s 2 position, to set Day pull stem out and rotate the hands till the day appears, push stem in all the way, Now slip your fingernail just under the crown and lift stem to it"s first position this will allow the date to change. You can also visit Fossil Watch online at Fossil Watches.com or visit a small watch repair shop in your area for adjustment help.

Use this link and browse through my TIPS AND TRICKS: http://www.fixya.com/MyProfile/tips.aspx?usrid=1700524. You will find manual for your watch there.

Actually there is no instruction manual for ME1020 available on Fossil website except for how to replace the battery. When you try to match ME1020 model with the available diagrams, there is no match (4 eyes). To set the time, pull the crown out to the second position. Now set the min/hour hands. Date hand is linked to it so keep rotating the crown till the date is set is set correctly. Now remaining is the day setting. Notice that the day changes every 24 hour mark on the 24 Hour sub-dial, so cross this mark to change the day. Go reverse & again cross the 24 hour mark to get the next day. Repeat this till you get the correct day setting. Now your day is also set along with date & time!

Perhaps you have operated a number of options that have confused the poor thing! I suggest that you obtain a copy of the user instructions and to do this you should go to the Fossil web site (fossil.com) and enter "Phillipe Stark" in the search box.

Got to the bottom of the screen and there is a menu of alternatives; choose "customer care".

The next page has a menu on the left, choose "watch instructions"

Select the illustration that matches your watch and choose the instructions by the model number.

If you cannot get the watch to operate satisfactorily even when you have followed the instructions, then you can only contact the manufacturer and aask for help.

Hope this helps.

Try this: pull out the winding crown to the first click and change the date. Memorize which way the crown turns to do that. Now turn the crown in opposite direction and the day should adjust.
This solution wrks for most of the makes.
If this doesb't work - submit the make, model and all the writings on watch caseback.

You have to open caseback and upload the movement number here. Then I might help.

Alot of times on watches you can click on the stem one time and you can change the hour. Click on the stem and you can change the minute, date, and month.
