I got tired of replacing dead watch batteries and messing up their waterproof feature each time it's cracked open. Had self-winding ones which goes dead if you don't wear them a while. So I tried this one.  Delivery was quick. All the watch hands were at 12 o'clock position when I received it.  Read the minute instruction manual and laid the watch on the window sill all day.  Next day, the watch was running and showing pacific time. Changed it to EST since I live in NYC. Wore it daily and it took 3 days for the battery to fully charge and I haven't touch or make adjustments since the 2nd day I had it.  It's a great watch for the price and to bang around with.  Will buy it again if it goes belly up in a year or two.  My advise is to leave it alone for a few days while the battery charges and familiarize yourself with the manual.
