The solution sounds good, except for one thing. How do we know which button is S2 and S1?

Thank you for this help site... I am having the same question as DUANER who wrote in February 2008.. this is March 2008. I am on Central time in Texas and when the time changed to SPRING FORWARD the second hand began it's travel and stopped one hour off. Since then I have pressed the two buttons on the side of this Dakota Atomic Timepiece but when I can get the second hand to travel once again it chooses it's own place and time to stop. HOW DO I SET THIS LITTLE JEWEL? Please someone answer Duaner and me. Bill in Galveston, Texas
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS ANY SANE PERSON WOULD HAVE WITH THIS VERY ODD WATCH. HOW CAN ONE SET THE THING?
The Dakota Watch Company website is most unhelpful.
Same problem, just traveled from London to US, when we went the other way we did something that was impressive and made the watch jump the time difference. Now we've come back and can't move the watch behind the 5 hrs. Please help,
Michael
The intsructions make no sense, don't work, and are full of really poor spelling!
my watch didn't advance to daylight saving time, it is an On-time brand, atomic (radio controled) Just a $50 watch but keeps good time otheriwse.
I have a new for christmas radio controlled watch that hasn't changed either. Have tried all I can and there is no help at Dakota by phone either.
I live in northern New Jersey and my watch had not advanced with Daylight Savings Time. The web-site said to mail it in or go as far away as Moorestown NJ.I can't believe there isn't a store closer to reset my watch in this major metropolitan area 5 miles from NYC. I just received it for Christmas and only started using it on 2/23. Mine is on a fob,not my wrist. Tinman
