i ve got this new swatch watch and i dont know when t change day in it cos it changes at 12 midday instead of changing at 12 midnight at what time shall I change date to do it properly? of course it is an analogue watch (with hands) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just move the time 12 hours forward or backward and then set the date |
||||||||
|

i mean the date switches every 24 hours, so first set the time 12 hours back e.g. then the date switches at 12 midnight, you can then set the date right |

uzim I cant manage to roll the hands backwards why is that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its only got 4 nunbers on it. how do you know the time when its 3.50 for example? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh nacmat! little buddy, that's just a picture.. you're not going to be able to set the time on that! :\ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now that it weird. o_O normally you should be able to roll the hands forwards and backwards... i don't have any nabab model in my collection, but... are you sure you pulled the crown twice before you tried to roll the hands? (or are you trying to set the date? the date can only be changed forwards, not backwards, that is normal) |

hahaha My watch 'just knows'. It's also an analogue watch, and somehow it knows no matterr what day I set it as orr when. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
earthleakage > are you serious? : ) once you're trained you tell the time with a minute precision (or almost) without any kind of marks... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nacmat, everry watch is differrent, just play it by earr, see what happens. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
that swatch is a fake, i can tell by the picture |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why the hell are all watches always set at 10:10 on all pics and in stores??? I've always wondered that.. who decided that?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
earthleakage > no, it's a genuine one.. the shape of course is quite different but that's the nabab models. (they even do square swatches now!) viktor > i read this somewhere but i forgot... i think i read it was because it was meant to represent a "smile"... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a smile?? wtf... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you not meant to 'think' about it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

"Ten past ten" In the age of science, technological innovations make headway at a fast pace, as a result of which new products enter the market everyday. This obviously necessitates appropriate exposure of the products to ensure its acceptability among the masses through various modes. The publicity ads are designed keeping in mind the state of mind of the average probable user/buyer, so as to be successful in capturing the clientele. For instance, whenever we see a publicity ad for watches, irrespective of the brand or the company, the figure of the watch is invariably shown at "ten past ten" as the time. This being so, it leads us to search as to why the watch is invariably shown to be set with its arms to say "ten past ten". The experts in the field of publicity feel that a watch showing "ten past ten" is the best placement of the two arms of the watch and it makes the appearance of the watch very elegant and in a state of equilibrium. From the aesthetic angle, the anth- ropologists explain this setting of the watch as a face symbolic of gleeful reception which gives cheers to a viewer/reader. The two arms of the watch equally stretched divergently upwards symbolise receiving a person warmly with open arms. That is why the watch is invariably shown "ten past ten". In the ad the reader gets drawn towards it and, being eye to eye with the figure of the watch at "ten past ten", feels warmly attracted towards it. As against this, if the watch shows "12’O clock", the bigger arm absents the lower arm which eludes the full face of the watch from being viewed. Similar shall be the case if the watch shows "3.15 and 8.45". Further, if the watch is shown to be displaying "8.20 a.m., p.m.," it symbolises the arms stretched divergently though yet being downwards. It is comparable to cold reception being accorded to the viewers. Conclusively thus, "ten past ten" is the ideal state of the arms of a watch shown in the publicity material as it draws the attention of the reader very |
