HOW DO I SET THE DATE ON A TIMEX WR 30 M

Maybe the battery doesn't have enough power for the sounder.

Hello,
This is because you have reversed am with pm.
Set your watch 12 hours back and the problem should be solved.
You might want to wait till midnight or noon to check it's fine.

Note: if you see the day shows the previous day rather than the present day, you have to set the clock 24h ahead.
Problem solved!

Use the numbers on the back of your watch and you will have a PDF version of your instruction manual.

Hope this tip helps

Usually, with crown pulled out to first position, turning the crown in one direction will change the day and the other direction will change the date.
If this does not work try moving the hands to different positions then attempt to adjust the day/date.
If this does not work, there are some models that just don't have a way to set the day short of turning the crown 1000 times cycling through the days manually and blistering your fingers.

Pull crown to "middle" position and turn CLOCKWISE until correct day appears. If day does not change, pull crown to "out" position and turn CLOCKWISE or COUNTERCLOCKWISE through the necessary number of 24 hour periods until correct day appears.
