I was tring to shut off the alarm when it went into a sleep mode or something because it went blank and the only thing that works is the light. Any Ideas?
Thanks Gerald Coates

Take the battery out and replace it is my best guess. If that doesn't work, buy a new battery I guess?

It doesnt work for mine:( I tried it and the time doesn't change.

Thanks guys, these instructions were very helpful
mine is the same as "Deans.

I have an Armitron watch. And i dont know how to set the time ... the diagram above is dif them my watch. My watch has on it "adj, sta/stp, mode, el" not the same as the diagrams. it says on the back M602. But i dont know if that means anything. ANY help would be appreciated.

Aubrey, I had the same problem you did with your watch....we must have the same watch....after fiddling with mine for what seemed like forever I finally figured out how to set it and figured I would share the info with you incase you are still trying to figure it out. Hold down the mode button....if you hold it down for long enough (like ten seconds) the seconds of your current time will start to flash....use to st/stp button to move over to the hour part and then use the adj. button to change the time...I hope this helps!

I have an armitron 40/6623 instalite alarm/chrono, you can find the model number on the back. WR 165 indicates water resistant to 165 feet. The instructions here do not work. I did find a link at the armitron site, but it does not have this model. the pdf may help others, though.
Armitron says if the model is not listed on the site call them 718-784-0700

thanks a lot im glad i googled the watch and foun this article it was very easy to understand and thanx for the help

Well, it worked for me. Even though mine wasn't the exact model and I was missing one of the switches talked about. The information on the seconds blinking helped get me to the right place. Thanks!

Armitron watches have been my choice since 1978 when I first discovered them - However, my latest one did not have instructions, but my experience with them has taught me that they are pretty much all the same, if one fiddles with them a little - Was very happy that this site furnished a phone number in NYC for them because 411 info was clueless - Mine is a WR165 and sometimes the workings get mixed up, but with a little experimentation, I'm slowly getting it back to "normal" - Dean's instructions were very helpful - I suggest that anybody who needs "hands-on" service go to the jewelry section of Wal*Mart; they are quite knowledgeable - Feel free to email me for further discussion - Jon

A problem developed in my last post - The URL I used was for my private journal and not public, so there is no access from this site - Therefore I've removed the URL in hopes that people will be able to pull up my email address from clicking on my hilited name:):) - Jon

i bought an armitron watch without the manual, it has a digital display that works but i can't get the second,minute and hour hands to move

My Armitron displays the DATE in the European style (DD/MM). Can anyone tell me how to toggle the date so it displays in the American style (MM/DD)? Thanks.

Thanks! My kid's watch goes of every day at 4:40. Until now.

Today, I purchased a WR165. 40/8033 on the back of the watch. Nothing suggested has worked. So far, it has been impossible to set this watch.

I have a WR245 that has worked great for the 2-3 years I have had it but recently I turned the "chime" on somehow and now it chimes on the hour every hour which I hate. Can't find the owners manual since we moved, everything else is pretty simple, hold the lap/rst button in for 5 seconds until the thing you wish to change flashes, but I can't get the chime to flash? Any help would be appreciated. - Annoyed

i have a armitron all sport watch 40/6753 i can get it to display (ch) dont i dont know what it means could you explain what the ch does or means

Thank you for posting this info. I've been trying like crazy to figure out how to change the time. I haven't worn this watch in 3 years. The battery was still ticking away, but apparent it was 7 minutes slower than what it was 3 yrs ago. Strange, eh?

Thanks all.

does this thing do GMT (military) time?
thanks.

does anyone know what is meaning of this "EL"? it is one of the four buttons, i thought it was light, but i pressed it, it doesn't work

My time didn't change, can you tell me why???

Thanks Rebekkah!!! You are some savior! I called armitron and they are definitely out of the office for a holiday for 2 weeks! Thanks for the help!

Thanks a lot!!

CH stands for CHime - Watch gives a little chirp on the hour. Also, the 40/6753 only has THREE control buttons (A, B & C positions as in the above illust.) I love the face-guard on this watch - those two little bars have saved the "crystal" many times.

I need someone smarter than me to tell me how to change the time on the 40/6753? (since it only has three numbers) Thanks

i have an amitron 45/6958 and i have lost the manual. i had it all set up and then i hit a button and screwed it all up, tried to go back but further changed everything. so i dont know how to get it off miliarty time and i had an alarm and i cant find out how to get it back. thats really the extent of my problems. help please.

Heather,
I just bought the 45/6958 from Kohl's. It came with the WRONG instructions. On Armitron's site it does not have instructions for the 45/6958. I called the company at 718-784-0700. They will be mailing me instructions. They can't email them
:(. Try giving them a call and see if they can send you instructions. I was not charged anything.

i have a Armitron 40/8125 m721 and i dont have the instructions for it is there away you can send them to my e-mail

how do you turn off the beaping noise when you press a button

Thanks! Worked great!

my son received an armitron watch a few years back. it works fine but the the tabs on the back of the watch have snapped off. can you sugest where i can buy these from

so it's time to "FALL BACK" from daylight savings time, but how to do that with this watch? This post saved me from putting this watch in the drawer for next spring and buying a new one I could use till then.

So after I changed the time, I checked out the home page for this blog. There's a tip jar. That seems preposterous; I have a few blogs and I don't ask for tips. But the tip I got from here to set my watch is more that worth the small tip I left in the tip jar for this blog.

Thanks !!

You guys rock. Thanks for posting this!!

How do I get the display on my 40/6623 to display 24 hour (military) time?

You suck . com

I can't change my time it's so diffict can you help?

I opdered an Armitron "Men's Dress Watch, Titanium (Black) Round. I have numerous high end watches; i.e Rolex, Cartier, RADO, etc; however I wanted a good "Everyday" watch, Particularly, one that displays the day-of-the-week. The Armitron 20/4285BLSV seemed to "fit the bill" exactly. HOWEVER, it arrived with absolutely no instruction! I pulled up the Armitron web site and was hoping that I could download the instructions. Their page has a "instructions" pull down, but there is no response after patiently waiting 20 minutes. I am the Chairman and CEO of a multibillion dollar Corporation. If we ran our business this way, I would be "on the street" begging people to tell me the time.

I just received a watch from my daughters for xmas. (armitron 40/8125 WR330 I have no instructions with this watch. My daughters keep asking me why i am not wearing the watch. Can any one help?

Thanks

Thanks for the instructions. Even though I have a 45/6955, merely following the labeling as the "date", "alarm", etc. keys seemed to work well (buttons arranged differently, but I used the button corresponding to the same function in these instructions and with my child's watch).

Doesn't work. my "C" button is the light button and the watch just lights up when i press it, it doesn't move on to the minutes.

my watch displays the date as 5 1 instead of 1 5, tomorrow it will be 6 1 instead of 1 6....can somebody tell me how to fix this?

I bought an armitron watch for my daughter and we can't adjust the time model #45/6974. If anyone has the answer, great, I was trying to save a long distance phone call to armitron.

Thanks for the instructions. We just purchased the Sport Pro which doesn't come with instructions. The location of the buttons is different on this model. The Mode button is on the bottom left, the light (EL) is at the bottom right, the Date button in the instructions corresponds to the St/Stop button and the upper left button in the instructions is the ADJ button. Still following the instructions and watching what is happening on the watch enabled me to set the time and date within five minutes. I have copied and pasted these instructions to a Word doc for future reference. Thanks again.

Hi, I have a 40/6753 and here is what I found to set the watch

................Adj......................Start/Stop

...............Mode
.............................EL

Press and Hold down the MODE button until the display starts to flash that you are Adjusting the alarm. If you need to adjust the alarm here ya go :)

Press the mode button again and it switches from adjusting the ALARM to adjusting the TIME.
At this point the display will be flashing the seconds. Press the ADJ button and it will switch to Adjusting the Minutes. Press the AdJ button to advance the minutes.

Pressing the Start/Stop will switch to Adjusting the Hour. Again pressing the ADJ button will advance the Hour until you get to the correct one.

Once correct press the Start/Stop to switch to Adjusting the DATE. Press the ADJ to advance Month and Day.

Pressing the Start/Stop will finally switch to Adjusting the DAY OF THE WEEK. (little circle to the left hand side). Again, pressing the ADJ will advance the Day until correct.

This took me an hour just pressing buttons until I could figure this out. I hope this helps everyone.

Joe

Thanks joe u saved ma life as i am going to austria tomorrow and dont want to take my D&G watch

erm one lil thing when pressing the mode again after holding it do it really quick or do the st/stp go through all of them then do it

taa mate

I have 1 that says wr165 on front and i need instuctions, anyway i can get some w/out calling?

I have an armitron i can't change time on it only has an A, B and C button(no D). How do i change time on this watch. It is an Armitron Allp-sport. there is a number M156 on it, there is also another marking40/6753.

Thanks Joe. I've been struggling with this for two days. I now have a functioning watch again . . . with sore fingers :o)

I was just searching how to change the date cause this year's Feb has 29 day. Thanks to Joe.

My son got an All Sport for Christmas - the instructions were in the base of the plastic holder the watch sits around. But he threw them away. It now seems that he has locked up the watch so that no functions are available except the light - cannot turn off the chime or out of military time - anybody help?

If you have the watch wr165 hold down MODE untill the alarm starts flashing then hold MODE down again then change the time by pressing ADJ. and ST/STP and when your done press mode again

CONTINUED
ADJ changes the hour, minute, sec, up or down
ST/STP
changes the column

HOPE THIS HELPS
if you have any questions just write something under

I just bought the 45/6958 watch and I don't have instructions. I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the date, because it is a day ahead of time even though the actual day is fine. Thanks!

Hey! I just want to add my thanks for the instructions on setting the time on my stupid Armitron watch. You have done a service to humanity....or at least to me, and I'm grateful.

How do you set the time for the amitron 40/8079?

This information was very helpful for me. Before I found this site, I was just pressing any buttons at random, not knowing which button really did what. This site is now stored in my favorites.

I know exactly why we are all having these problems with these piece of trash watches. The more instructions they can eliminate from the packages and the more difficult the different sets of instructions are the more watches they will sell because people just throw them away and buy another. JUNK, pure JUNK

Joe from Oregon!! YOU ARE A GOD!!!! thank you sooo much for helping me set this (nice looking) da#n watch.

My watch does not have a B button only 3 buttons how can I set the date? as it is a leap year I am now 1 day ahead on my watch wich is irritating the h--l out of me. Many thanks to any one who can instruct me on how to do this.

Switching the date format from Days - Month to Month - Days (e.g. April 24 = expressed as "24 4" and need to change to "4 24"). Simply press the "Date" button and while holding this down and the date is showing, press the "Alarm" button. The watch will beep and show the changed format. Repeat these steps to change to the other format. Hope this helps.

HELP! Does anyone know how to set the time for the 40/8125 WR330 men's armitron digital watch? It is driving me crazy. Hope someone can help.

It worked i guess but the symbols on my watch are different do i have to use different techniques or do i just never mind it?

I have a men's red anodized 40/8108 which is supposed to be water resitant to 300ft. I don't dive that deep with it, but I have gone as deep as 100ft, and no problems - no water leaking in. Also tend to wear it under my wetsuit (watches are not terribly helpful in scuba except in comparison with dive computer). Anyway I wanted one I didn't have to worry about (and cheap to replace if it fails) and this one holds up. Only thing I would change is the inclusion of an optical bubble to the face so it could be read easier underwater.

Hello, The Armitron website no longer gives the instructions for ladies 3-button digital watch, style number 45/6813, All Sport, 100 ft. water resistant is printed on the watch as well. I really appreciate your help. There is one button on the lower left side of the watch face and two on the right side. Thank you. :) Mia

i've an armiton sports watch 49/1006.
it shows tat it can store the data but i found it impossible to set the data.
can u help me in setting the data?

For the 40/6753 users still with problems, I just discovered how to turn off the alarms and chime features.

While holding ADJ., press ST/STP to cycle through the chime, alarm, and alarm + chime combo displayed to the left of the time

Wanna say a great big ol' Thanx man! While mine is the, never seen posted - yet - 40/6767... The instructions you have got me close enough to get her dialed in! I have had this watch sitting in a can now for over 5 years... Just trashed my Citizen Aviator, seeyalatr to the crystal face... what a shame... Anyhow.. Thanx brother... Nice watch, worx great... now!

peace

I need helpppp. i just bought the 45/6958 and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to set it. sooooo help me please?

I have no button that says Alarm. It doesn't work for me. I just need to make the hour go back 1.

This site did not help one bit.. I can find out how to set my alarm to a specific time, and it would be easier to say adj, mode, el, st instead of A-d since it seems everyones watch is different form yours.

Hey thank you so much! I know this post is like two years old but you saved me some money from this post. I found this old watch and it's a WR165. I tried looking on the armistrong website but that didn't help much so this post really helped me out.

I have an Armitron WR330, how the heck do you set the time ?

Thanks for all the help here folks. I got a Armitron 45/6915 and was just about to throw it at the wall when it woke me up at 4am (no idea who set the alarm at that time). THank good for all you guys out there and a little bit of patience in figuring out what worked. How can a company sell watches and not have instructions that come with it? Well, I got mine off a sales rack, but I am sure this is not true for most of you. Surprising that they have so many fans out there (us) who like the watches and are willing to go through major customer hell to get the product to work.

pressing C (DATE) doesn't do anything except display month and date.

HELP!

The alarm on my Armitron All-Sport just stopped functioning even though I still have it set to Alarm. Anybody ever experience this? The rest of the watch still works just fine.

By the way, I called both the 1-800 and the 718 number: the people at 1-800 were quite rude (twice), answered the phone without saying anything about who I had reached and sounded mad that I had bothered them, then transferred me to someone who called me Hon just basically decided to agree that it must be the battery although I don't think it is. The 718 people were more professional and said they didn't think it was the battery but said I would have to send it to them...which I don't think is cost effective at this point. I'll discard it if I must but I dislike just not using it because of that (I use it as my morning get-up alarm so I do need the alarm). Any thoughts

I can't figure out how to set the time and change the time back from military time so my son can use it. I have an Armitron 45-6915. All the instructions I've seen label the a,b,c, and d parts different form mine. Mine are A-Mode, B-Adj., C-ST/STP, D-Light. Can you help?

Thanks,

Carla

I need to replace the watch band on my Armitron Instalite, water resistant 165 ft., acrylic case,ssback,20/4014, Y21E/2. The band has worn out the velcrow, is there a replacement for it, if posible i would reather not have velcrow again. Watch is nice but the band lacks. If I was a skin diver I sure wouldnt try it with the velcrow bwatch band.

Armitron 165WR All-Sport Watch Instructions

Note - there are excellent instructions above, but my watch has the buttons located differently.
