How to Set the Date on a Timex Indiglo Watch

Setting the date on your Timex Indiglo watch is a straightforward process, but it requires careful attention to detail to ensure accuracy. Follow these step-by-step instructions to set the date correctly on your Timex Indiglo watch.

1. Identify the Crown: The crown is the small knob on the side of your watch. It is used for setting the time and date. On most Timex Indiglo watches, the crown is located at the 3 o’clock position.

2. Pull Out the Crown: Gently pull the crown out to the second position. You may need to pull it out two clicks to reach this setting. The first position is typically for winding the watch and setting the time, while the second position allows you to set the date.

3. Set the Date: Turn the crown in one direction to advance the date. Make sure you turn it in the correct direction as indicated in the manual, as turning it the wrong way could affect the date-setting mechanism. On many Timex Indiglo models, turning the crown counterclockwise advances the date.

4. Adjust the Time: If needed, adjust the time by pulling the crown out to the first position and turning it to set the time. Be sure to set the time to the correct hour and minute, taking care to distinguish between AM and PM if your watch has a 12-hour format.

5. Push the Crown Back In: Once you have set the date and time, push the crown back in to its original position. Make sure it is pushed in all the way to ensure that the watch is properly sealed and water-resistant.

6. Check the Date Change: It’s a good idea to check the date change to ensure it advances correctly at midnight. Set the watch to a time just before midnight and observe if the date changes automatically when the time reaches midnight.

7. Final Adjustments: If necessary, make any final adjustments to ensure that both the time and date are set accurately.

Additional Tips:

• Avoid setting the date between 8 PM and 4 AM as this could potentially damage the date-change mechanism.
• Regularly check the accuracy of your watch to ensure it is keeping the correct time and date.

By following these steps, you should be able to set the date on your Timex Indiglo watch with ease. Regular maintenance and proper handling will help keep your watch functioning well.
