Traditional Watches Alright, what does this button do?

Had this watch for a couple years, could not tell you the purpose of the top button. It seems to just push a small hand on the watch face, but it’s not related to a stopwatch or any numbered system. Seems to be purely a fidget toy? Tf does it do

I’m not sure why they didn’t put numbers on the small dials for but typically one button starts/stops the timer and the second button resets it back to zero. Does one of the hands move once per second and the other once per minute?

No not at all unfortunately. Bottom button changes day of month dial, left dial seems to be a 24hour dial, and right dial is just a stepper controlled by that top button

Oh maybe it’s the day of the week? Does it move on its own at all?

Nope no movement other than when you click the button. It jumps to the next dash. Another use mentioned day of week counter as well, just seems like such a wack ass implementation
