Question 1

How does one set the date/time/year ? The instructions are too difficult to follow and does not produce expected results.

Accepted Answer

Here's a bit of an orientation.  Put your watch down on the table. Note there are four buttons; "A" at 8 O'Clock is for selecting the mode or sub-mode.  "B" at 10:00 is the indiglo light; we won't need it.  "C" at 2:00 is the change value button. "D" at 4:00 is the "set"/"accept settings" button.  There are two digital times you can set on this watch; the regular time and the second timezone (labelled T2). Hit the "Mode" button (A) until time OR date you want to change is displayed (the watch can be set to display either the digital time OR the date).  Now press and hold the set/accept button (D); you'll see the word "Hold" appear.  Hold the button down until the world "Hold" disappears. You are now setting the time and everything you do will be interpreted that way until you hit the set/accept button again to save your input.Notice that the seconds value in the time is flashing. IF you want to change the seconds, hit the "change value" button (C) to set them to zero.  You can use this to synchronize the digital time on the watch *exactly* to another clock with a second hand.Hit the mode button (A) and the hour will start flashing. Press the change value button (C) until the correct hour appears.  Repeat this sequence (hit the mode button, hit the change value button until the value is right) until you come back around to flashing seconds.  Hit the "set" button (D) to accept all the values you just selected.Your watch is now set.  Here's a bonus set of instructions. It's kind of useless to display the digital time if its the same as the analog hands, but you can set the display to show the date and day instead.  Here's how you do it.  Hit the mode button until the current time appears.  Press the "change value" (C) button briefly. Note that the watch beeps, then then shows the day and date for a few seconds, then returns to the time.  Now press and HOLD the change value button.  After a few seconds displaying the day and date it will beep and you can release it.  The watch will now show the day and date instead of the digital time.  Whatver your watch is showing (day/date or time), a brief press of "C" will show the other. You can use this to check that the digital time is correct (e.g. after daylight savings time kicks in) so the correct date will show before and after midnight.

Question 2

Does the bezel turn?

Accepted Answer

Yes the one I have turns in both directions.

Question 3

does it have Luminous light in the dark without using battery light?

Accepted Answer

The hands glow if they get enough light. There is a light,but it only illuminates the face and not the digital readout. It's been fine for the times I've needed to see what time it was in the dark.

Question 4

Can the digital display be set for military time?

Accepted Answer

It's hard to see but just outside the 1 -12 is the military time. 1 is 13 , 6is 18. I believe when you set up the digital side you can set it for military.  Hope this was helpful .
