how do i set the correct time on a KLIK radio controled watch?

I have a KLIK radio controled watch with no instructions.I do not seem to be able to set the right time,posibly the wrong time zone,but i do not know how to alter the time zone .the watch has three buttons on the right hand side.the midddle one is knurled but only appears to switch on a backlight,does not pull out to alter the hands.the other two just seem to either move on the second hand fast for say 40 seconds or so,then the hands stop for about 40 seconds and then start moving again.the top button sometimes sets of the second hand ,and the other hands in sincronised time,for sometimes upto about 12 hours then stops moving fast and reverts back to normal time,but the time is never the correct local time.it is always a few hours out.the watch has only analogue time display.it is stainless steel with roman numerals the strap is brown leather

KLIK Clocks and Watches, Wrist Watches Set Time Wrong

But if it is one with a conventional dial and second hand there are 3 buttons on the right hand side- press the 2 outer buttons at the same time for 3 or 4 seconds. The second hand moves to 12 and the pointers stop moving while it looks for the time signal.
*If* the watch has fully reset to out of box condition then you need to press ALL 3 buttons together for 3 or 4 seconds.
It can take up to 10 minutes to set the watch, the best time to do it is when it is dark as there is less atmospheric interferemce.
There is an am/pm indicator, Press the lower of 3 buttons briefly and the second hand points to 3 if it is AM, 9 and it is PM. If it isn't right you can reset it by hold down the bottom button for 3 seconds while it is displaying AM or PM- it will swap over.
You can also do time zone setting, and recalibrate the hand position- this has become long so I'll only describe it if asked. If the hand position isn't right it will always show the wrong time- even after receiving the time signal.

Finally, I haven't mentioned the middle button- it is for the backlight- if it doesn't work change the battery before it goes flat.
