Setting a generic one-button digital watch




By Watchmom on Nov 06, 2007

" "
My son has a basic supermarket digital watch, with one button on the lower left (labelled MODE) and two buttons on the face, labelled, respectively, LAP/RESET and START/STOP. If we ever had instructions on how to set this thing, they are now lost. Can you help?

I too lost the instructions for my generic 4 button digital watch and had to find the functions by trial and error and the results are below.

=========================


Adjust Alarm/Time/Date - Press and hold Mode Button. When alarm displays, release. Start-Stop Button SELECTS, Lap-Reset Button ADJUSTS selection. Pressing the Mode Button again changes from Alarm to Time/Date, ADJUST as above. Pressing it again exits.

Select/Deselect Alarm, Hourly Chime or Both - Press and hold Lap-Reset Button, Start-Stop Button TOGGLES through the above options.

Select 12/24 Hour Mode - Press and hold Lap-Reset Button, Mode Button TOGGLES through the above options.

Select Stopwatch - Momentarily press the Mode Button, use the Start-Stop and Lap-Reset buttons to control.

Display Date - Press Start-Stop Button in normal time
display mode.


Display Alarm - Press and hold Lap-Reset Button in
normal time display mode.


Cancel Alarm - Press Lap-Reset Button in normal time
display mode to silence alarm.


Hope this is helpful,
George.

I have a similar solution and I found the instructions fir the Extech Model 365510 digital stopwatch to be helpful. You might have to extrapolate a bit, but I got my watch figured out. Here is a link to the diretions:
