In the top screen (where the date and day usually located) thers a "open" sine and the watch is not responding to any button the time display is the only thing that still works

The time or date is adjusted by pressing the lower left button three times to bring the watch to time adjustment mode. This causes the seconds to flash on the display. The top left button is pressed to cycle through seconds, hours, minutes, month, date, day, and normal mode. The right button is then pressed to adjust the flashing value displayed. When the adjustments are finished, the bottom left button is pressed repeatedly until the watch returns to normal mode.

1. Press the "MODE" button---usually on the lower left side of the watch, but sometimes on the right center side---to cycle through to the time display.
   

2. Press and hold the "SET" button---usually on the right lower side of the watch---until the seconds flash.
   

3. Press "MODE" repeatedly to cycle through the displays that flash: from hours to minutes to month to date and day. At the end of the cycle is the hour display option. Make this option flash.
   

4. Press the "SPLIT/RESET" button below the face of the watch to change the hour display option to "24-hour display." This is the same as military time. If there is a "NEXT" button on the upper-right side of the watch, use this to advance to the 24-hour option instead of using the "SPLIT/RESET" button. You may need to press a "START/SPLIT" button instead a "SPLIT/RESET" button to cycle between 12- and 24-hour display. The "START/SPLIT" button could be located below the watch face or on the upper-right side of the watch, depending on the model.
   

5. Press the "SET" button again. You are now done. All PM hours should be displaying hours between 12 and 23.

mcdevito75 here, I'm figureing you have only one (1) button on your watches, some, even cheap digitals have two (2) buttons, one of which is ususlly for a light. Some have two (2) buttons, one says MODE the other says SET. For one button (1) digitals, This will usually say set, when you press this button you should see the display change, to month then press set agin to see date, press set again to go back to time of day. NOW!! look for a DIMPLE, an INDENTATION on the side of the watch fairly close to the other button, press this DIMPLE in with a tooth pick, pin or the point of a pen, this is your MODE, press once, see the display flash, now with the set button, set whatever display is flashing, press MODE again, set this next display, when all displays, Month, Day, Date and time of day, hour and minute are set, press MODE again to see steady display. when you press set now, you can see the corrected display, press the set button for each display you want to view until you come back to the time of day display. That"s it.
