I'm trying to set my son's Timex 1440 watch. I can get the minutes blinking but when I touch the top right button it only moves the minutes in 30-minute increments. So i can set it at 8:30 or 9:00, for example, but nothing in between. Any ideas?

Buttons are numbered as followed:
Start/Stop is button 1
Lap/Rst is button 2
Indiglo is button 3
Mode is button 4

a) Press 4 to select "TIME" mode
b) Press 2 and hold for 2 sec to select "SET" mode, second digits blink.
c) Press 1 to reset digits to 00.
d) Press 4. Minute digits blink
e) Press 1 to set minutes.
f) Press 4. Hour digits blink.
g) Press 1 to set hours.
h) Follow same patter to set day of month, month, etc...
i) Press 2 at any time to retain set values and exit procedureSource(s):Timex instruction manual

hi,

You can try this by:

Press and hold the "MODE" button (top left) until the alarm time begins to blink. Use top right button to change from minute to hour etc, and change the value for the setting that is flashing by pressing the bottom right button "SET". Change from alarm to date to time by pressing the upper left button again.

Hope this will help you.

Thank you for choosing fixya
