How do I get rid of five extra minutes and have watch display actual time?

Apple Watch series 4. When I first got it, I set my watch to display the time as 5 minutes ahead of the actual time using the settings app. I want to change it back to showing acctual time and can't figure out how to do it. Help, anyone? Someone asked this same question and got a reply just pointing out where to go. I already knew that. I can’t figure out how to get from +5 back to +0. There is a greyed out X on bottom left and a bright green check mark on bottom right. Touching either of them, or the big clock face in the center with +5, doesn’t open anything to increase or decrease the number. Help?

Hey there, DPMerritt! 


Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.


You are on the right screen to change it back to +0. You will use the dial on the side of the watch to change the amount of time showing there. You can turn the dial down to decrease the time or up to increase it.


Kindest regards.
