How do you turn off the hourly chime? - The Watches

Your watch could be defective but at the point where you turn off the hourly chime, check the face for a symbol that disappears.

To turn off the hourly chime, just press the MODE button (bottom left) until the watch is in alarm mode. Then press the ST/STP button (top right) and the icon for hourly chime should go away.

Hello Mfchester,

Here are the instructions to turn off the chime on your Timex Sports 1440 watch. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance! :)

Press and hold the bottom right button; this displays the alarm. At the same time, press the bottom left to toggle the hourly chime. When the chime is enabled, the 'day of week' display at the top of the dial will show all days as selected. When the chime is disabled, no days will show as been selected.
I have one of these watches and it took me a while to find this out!

I suspect that the mechanism needs cleaning.

Take a look inside and if there is the slightest sign of dirt (particularly on the striking mechanism) then it should behave properly after cleaning.

This clock does not adjust that way.

Hope this tip helps.

think of the top buttons from left to right as A & B and the bottom buttons from left to right as C & D. The way to turn the chime off and on is by holding the C & D Buttons simatainiously and the pressing the B button. This will allow you to turn the Hourly Chime Off and On. When you see the digital chime pattern in the display the chime is on. When no pattern is shown the chime is off. Hope this helps the ton of people who have purchased these watches & either did not have instructions with or lost them. This perticular watch has been annoying the whole household for quite sometime and has now been put to rest..lol

Take the batteries out from the base, where the chime mechanism is. Wait till it gets close (20 seconds till) to a specific hour time, like 8:00 or 9:00, replace the batteries for the chime mechanism. And then count the chimes at the hour. If they are correct, you are set. If they are incorrect, turn the time back 15 minutes before the hour and bring it right back and monitor the chimes again. Hopefully this should fix it. Please post the results.

to turn off hourly chime on the times wr 30m, simply press (in any mode, i just use the regular clock mode) the start/stop button (top right hand button) once (for about half a second).
  if you don't hear anything, you've turned off the hourly chime!  if you hear two short beeps, you've turned on the hourly chime.    turning the chime off/on is cyclic.  if you press once and hear nothing, it's off.  if you press again, you'll hear two beeps and the hourly chime is now on.    a lot of times that button hits my wrist (i wear it on my left hand) by accident, and that's how the chime turns on and off.  i hope this helps someone.

To turn off the hourly beep: While holding the lap/reset button down, press the mode button. When all 7 day flags show, the hourly chime is on. When no day flags show, the chime is off.
