Every six months or so I have to reset this watch. It is a 3 button Timex sports watch (4 buttons if you count the indiglo, but that is mounted on the front, not the sides). I always forget how. [Wall Bash] And Timex doesn't have instructions for it on their website. If I can figure it out this time, I promise I will record it in my livejournal. Their website yields no results for "acqua", as if I made the word up. Well, I thought it was a stupid word too when I bought their watch. Most of the watches they have instructions for ping the atomic satellite clock. Bully for them.

So, okay, can anyone help poor me? I know it should be a simple matter of going through the permutations of the buttons, but I know there is some dagnasty "press and Hold" requirement.

I wish I could help you.

I feel your pain. I hated the time change. I could never figure it out. Backwards? Forwards? Who cares?

Pressing and holding the mode button lets me set the alarm.

Pressing and holding start/stop doesn't do anything.

Pressing and holding split/reset displays the alarm.

Pressing and holding start/stop and Mode doesn't seem to do anything. The stopwatch shows, staying at zero. Sunday and saturday blink.

Stop/start and split/reset switches the date format. And it beeps for no apparent reason.

mode and split/reset shows the stopwatch at zero. Sunday and saturday blink.

All three:
first try acted like s/s + S/r

Well, I guess I can just leave it on standard time all the time. I mainly use it for exercise.

P.S. The time clock at work has been an hour fast the last two weeks.

Keep pushing the menu button until the time flashes then use the other 2 buttons to change the time?
