Change Timex Watch to Military Time
You can set your digital Timex watch to display military, or 24-hour, time. In other words, 1:00pm would display as 13:00 and 12:30am would display as 00:30. Instructions may vary somewhat between models, with different buttons in different positions, but the general approach is the same. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
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.
