The Timex Ironman 30 Lap also has a stopwatch that can be used to keep track of split times for racing sports like running or cycling. Press the "Mode" button until the display shows "Chrono," then press and hold the "Set/Recall" button. To start the timer, press the "Start/Split" button. It will continue to run even if you exit to another mode. Pressing the "Stop/Reset" button will stop the chronograph. To record a split time, press the "Start/Split" button again while the timer is running. To see your split times, press the "Set/Recall" button while the watch is in Chrono mode. You can then scroll through the various splits with the plus and minus keys. Press "Set/Recall" again to exit display mode and return to the timer.

I just bought a Sportline 241 last week. The instructions are as follows. Note that there are no instructions for setting the 12/24 hour time option. Mine is in 24 hour mode (which is what I wanted), but I do not recall if it arrived that way or if I stumbled onto this mode when setting the time/date or alarm functions.

I hope this helps.

The instructions that came with my watch didn't work but after playing around with the buttons for a while i final came up with this: Press the mode button for 2 secs. The first display is the alarm. Press mode again and the time shows with the seconds flashing. Use the set button to change seconds, minutes, hours. Use the start/stop button to change from seconds to minutes to hours.This will then take you to change the month, date and day of the week. Mode takes you back to the start (time display). The alarm is changed in the same way.
To change from 12h clock to 24h clock keep the set button pressed (the alarm time is displayed) and press mode, the 'A' will disappear when in 24h mode
When the time is displayed press the start/stop button to show the date.
Not sure how to use the countdown timer or how to stop the alarm yet though!
