nice watch. Just curious what is your wrist size?

I've tried this exact baby turtle on my 6" wrist and my guess is his wrist should be below 6" looking at his picture 

can try getting the thicker cloth type but then cannot wear loose fit otherwise will move around

still looks great eventho i've seen it thousand times.
regarding am pm, yes it have. to make it easier, you can just keep moving the minutes hand until u see the date move to the next date - thats ur 12am
its much easier to adjust that way, including during 30/31 days adjustment 

for the strap, you may look for Perlon strap type, more sturdy to support the weight and comfortable~

enjoy ur watch 
i keep it on the bedside and enjoy the lume before sleep 

iirc, the 4r15 movement will have 1-2 hours date delay during change of date 12am.
as long it change between 11pm - 1am, i guess u set it correctly.

i still remember 7s26 movement date change from 11pm - 2am fully change to next date

can.. I manually wind mine my automatics every morning even though I wore the watch the day before with lots of power reserve left

have been doing this for a long period of time so far no issues
