Setting the time on an electric watch is a simple process. The first step is to locate the 'mode' button and press it until the time flashes. On some watches, this may involve holding down the button for 3-5 seconds. If this doesn't work, try pressing the 'set' button. Once the minutes or hours are flashing, use the 'start/stop' or 'set/reset' buttons to adjust the time. If your watch only has two buttons, one is likely for changing the mode, and the other is for advancing settings. For one-button LED watches, press and hold the button for 3 seconds to select the hour, then repeat for the minutes.

How to set time on a four-button watch
To set the time on a four-button watch, you will need to identify the functions of each button. The four buttons are typically labelled:
- Mode
- Set or Reset
- Start/Stop
- Light
The 'Mode' button is used to cycle between the different functionalities of the watch, such as the stopwatch mode, alarm, time, and other settings. To enter the time-setting mode, press the 'Mode' button until the timekeeping mode is selected. Then, press the 'Set' or 'Reset' button to initiate the time-setting process.
Once you are in the time-setting mode, you can adjust the hours, minutes, and seconds. In most cases, the minutes or hours will blink or flash, indicating that you can change the value. Use the 'Start/Stop' button to increase or decrease the value until you reach the desired time.
For example, if you want to set the hours, press the 'Mode' button until the hour digit starts flashing, then use the 'Start/Stop' button to scroll through the numbers until you reach the correct hour. Repeat this process for the minutes and seconds.
After you have set the time, press the 'Set' or 'Reset' button again to confirm your settings. If your watch has a 'Light' button, you can press it to illuminate the screen and make it easier to read the time during the setting process.
It's important to note that the specific steps may vary slightly depending on the model of your four-button watch. If you are unsure, refer to the user manual for more detailed instructions specific to your watch.

How to set the time without an instruction manual
If you don't have the instruction manual for your electric watch, you can try to find the manual online by searching for your watch's brand, serial number, or model number. If you can't find the manual, you can contact the manufacturer's customer support for help. Alternatively, you can try to set the time on your watch through trial and error, especially if it's a digital watch, as most of them work in a similar way.
Digital watches typically have four buttons: "Mode", "Set/Reset", and two additional buttons that may be labelled or have specific functions, such as a stopwatch or lap function. The "Mode" button usually cycles between different functions like a stopwatch, alarm, and time. If a number is blinking, it means it's selected, and you can adjust it using the "Start/Stop" and "Set/Reset" buttons to move the numbers up or down.
For one-button LED watches, press the button once to display the time, and then press and hold it for about three seconds to adjust the hour and minutes. Scroll through the numbers by clicking the button, and once the correct time is selected, avoid touching the button for a few seconds to save the settings. You can also set the date by repeating these steps.
For quartz or mechanical watches, locate the crown on the side of the watch case and pull it out to its outermost position. You may feel a slight click. Rotate the crown clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the time, and then push the crown back in securely to its original position. If your watch has a date function, pull the crown out to the first or second position, and then rotate it to change the date. Refer to your watch's manual for specific instructions, as some watches may have unique requirements, such as cycling through a full 24-hour period to change the date.
