My timex ironman watch is set am when itis pm and pm when it is am so it always says the wrong date

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!

Follow this link: http://assets.timex.com/user_guides/W148_M851/W148_M851_NA_EN.pdf Follow instructions and your watch should work properly.

Hello bzgoodsbl,
When I encounter a product such as your
Timex 5E681... Knowing absolutely nothing
about modern TIMEX or ...
But being an ACCOMPLISHED amateur horologist
(clock, watch, licensed radioman and admirer of John Harrison)...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harrison

>> I looked your "IRONMAN" up...
- inexpensive (Amazon)
- Very Popular 4/5 STARs
- Easy to read instructions
Just my own observation here:
Before I would hand any TIMEPIECE I ever
cared about... over to some PIZZA-FACED
**** at the corner **** store...
I would seriously consider spending a few dollarson some WATHMAKERS tools and opening
the device myself...
As soon as AN UNAUTHORIZED person opens
your "IRONMAN" the warranty is VOID.
Just know your options.
NEW = Send it back (do it now).
