How Do I Set My Armitron Alarm Chrono Watch?

Your armitron watch with an alarm and chronograph has two buttons on each side. You’ll use the two on the left and the top button on the right for setting the time and alarms. (The fourth, lower-right button is simply for illuminating the clock face.) Armitron alarm watches come with two alarms that can be set separately. They also come with a countdown timer. You can switch the time between military and 12-hour display.

Hold in the upper-left button (“Set”) until the seconds flash.

Press the “Mode” button to advance to different components of the time you want to change, whether seconds, minutes, hour, month, day of week, or date. When the item you want to change flashes, press the upper-right button (“Adj.”) to advance it.

Press the “Set” button once all the settings are ready to be saved.
