There are several different ways of setting those. I’ve got several watches that only set the date, and you have to set the day by the time setting feature. Do not turn it backwards past midnight, unless that watch has a safety feature built-in to protect the driving wheel from breaking.Yep, I can feel resistance like it should be rotating something but no dice
With other watches of mine, you set the date in the position just like yours, but you set the day by pushing the crown in.
If you were given the movement model number, I can look it up and see if I can find out how to do it for you.
