About Set Your Watch UK

An independent, free resource for anyone who wants to set, understand and look after their watches.

Why it exists

Set Your Watch UK was born out of frustration. I struggled to find one convenient, reliable place online that could help me set my moonphase watch accurately, set my automatic watches correctly, and explain how everything worked and why. Too often, the information I needed was scattered across different websites, or the instructions lacked the clear visual diagrams that make watch concepts easier to understand.

So, I decided to build something myself.

Set Your Watch UK brings together practical watch-setting tools, live time, moonphase information and easy-to-follow guides designed to make understanding and setting watches simpler.

Built out of frustration. Made to make things easier. Shared for the love of watches.

Who it's for

  • Beginners who want clear, visual steps for setting the time, date or moonphase.
  • Enthusiasts who want an accurate UK time reference, accuracy tracking and a private collection log.
  • Anyone who needs a world clock, a time converter or a quick reminder of how a function works.

Independent and free

This is an independent enthusiast project. It isn't affiliated with any watch brand or retailer, has no accounts, adverts or tracking, and keeps your saved watches in your own browser. Guides are general: your watch's manual always takes priority. Live time comes from the UK's National Physical Laboratory; see how NPL time works.
