I show how to set the date on the watch as it does not tell you how to in the manual also I give my review of the watch the positives and negatives. Hope you enjoy please like dislike and subscribe much appreciated
This is not how to do it. To change the date, gently pull the adjuster to the FIRST click then turn. That sets the date. Pull to the second click and turn, that sets the day and time. This RU-vidr pulls the adjuster out too far in his early demonstration. Again, it’s a gentle pull to the first click to change date, then pull to second click for day and time.
Actually, Kenan does stumble on setting the date correctly. After he pulls the crown out too far he does click into the proper place to set the date. Watch at the 3:50 mark as he turns the crown only the date moves.
This helped me with the day function. As for the early part of the video: the reason it is so hard to pull the crown out that far is because IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO COME OUT LIKE THAT.
I got the same watch, that's shown in this video, in the mail today from walmart.com I found a small indentation under its stem, that let me easily get a fingernail behind its stem and pull it out either part way or all the way. I can see the indentation, when I turn the watch upside down. This watch seems to have almost everything, that an inexpensive watch could have.
There should be a teeny tiny push tab under the case back, you have to pop the case back off to get to it, close to where the crown stem pushes into the movement that you depress to pull the crown stem out. They aren't designed to just be pulled out by force. I have a very similar indiglo. You can find images of where this push tab is by Googling "How to release the crown stem from a Timex Indiglo watch. The tab is extremely small, you'll probably want to wear some magnifying glasses or use one of those 1 piece magnifiers that you hold with your eye, I think they're called a monocal. I'm surprised you didn't break something pulling that stem out like that.
Well, I wish I’d read your comment first as I just broke the stem by pulling it out. The piece went flying somewhere in my office, lost in the abyss. Really upset about this video’s advice.
@@colinwhite9065 Maybe try to find an old junk watch for parts with the same type of crown and buy it cheap for parts or possibly a watch parts website might have a replacement. I've purchased vintage watches cheap just to get a part or three that I need to get a nice one running again. It can be done! 👍
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I tried just spinning the crown in the time set up level, and in about the spin 20 clockwise it changed the date. Tried it several times and keeps working.
That’s because you tan the watch thru 24 hours so of course it changes the day. It has a date function barely pull the crown out just a touch if the second hand stops it’s too far out. It’s hard to hit the spot but if you do you can then set the date part the number of the day but not the word day part that as far as I’ve found has to be set in time mode and going thru 24 hours
Too much information on the description. However, mentioning to turn the hands around for 24hr cycle will trip the date to change helped to solve my question…. Thank you!!!
It's not a bad looking watch. Indiglo is always great. The 30 meters water resistance could be better, but it isn't horrible. The design for the day/date setting process is really poor. Timex could do better. Be good!✌🏽👍🏽
SET THE DATE/NUMBER FIRST THEN START TURNING BACKWARDS TO CHANGE DAY/M,T,W,T,F,S,S........... MIGHT NEED TO CYCLE TIME TO CORRECT WHICH 12 HOUR SEQUENCE YOU ARE IN...........
This is complete wrong. I’ve been wearing these watches for 20 years. I don’t know about watch forums, but it sounds like those guys don’t know what they’re talking about either. According to the instructions: You pull the crown out fully to set the time. By the way, I don’t know why (or how) you’re pulling your crown out so far. Mine won’t even go out that far. You pull the crown out and rotate to set the time (as you showed). You pull the crown our HALF WAY (or from having it out to set the time, you push it in half way) to rotate the date. The instructions on every Timex Expedition style Indiglo watch I’ve had is the same. Crown HALF WAY OUT to set date.
