One-button digital watches are super handy and easy to use. Press the button once to display the time, then press and hold the button for three seconds to select the correct hour and minutes. You can even set the date by doing the same. Once your watch has the correct time and date, you no longer need to touch the button to save the settings.

To step

Method 1 of 2: Set the time

  1. Press the button once for your watch to display the time. Click the button below the LED screen. The preset time should appear, with the hour and minutes.
    • After the time appears, press the button again to display the date.
    • If you accidentally press the button more than once and you are in the time screen, keep pressing the button until you get back to the time.
  2. Hold down the button for three seconds until the hour starts to flash. If the hour starts flashing after you press the button, it means it is ready to be changed. Do not release the button until the hour starts flashing, even if it has been more than three seconds.
  3. Click the button until the correct hour is displayed. While the hour is flashing, click the button to navigate through the numbers. If you've passed the correct hour, don't worry - you can easily scroll through the numbers again.
    • Note the A or P below the hour to select AM or PM.
  4. Press the button again and hold it for three seconds until the minutes flash. When you have selected the correct hour, press and hold the button again until the minutes start to flash. This indicates that the minutes of the watch are ready to be set.
    • If you've waited too long to set the minutes and your watch has already saved the settings, press and hold the button until the hour starts flashing again, before pressing and holding the button to move to the minutes.
  5. Click the button to select the correct minute. Scroll through the minutes by clicking the main button. Check a clock nearby to make sure you choose the correct number of minutes.
    • Take your time to click through the number of minutes so that you don't get past the correct time and have to scroll through all the minutes again.
  6. Do not touch the button for a few seconds to save the settings. Once the correct hour and minutes have been selected, do not press the button. See if the time stops flashing so you know your watch is set to the new time.
  7. Check the time by pressing the button when the screen goes dark. The time may disappear when the watch is not in use. To see what time it is, press the button once to make it appear.

Method 2 of 2: Change the date

  1. Tap the button twice to display the date. The date is the second screen that appears immediately after the time. Click the button twice to display the date.
    • If you set the date right after setting the time, click the button once after the time is set to go to the date.
  2. Press and hold the button until you see a "Y" flashing for "year". Hold the button for three seconds and the flashing "Y" should appear. This is the year setting.
  3. Click on the button until the correct year appears. Only the last two digits of the year appear below the "Y". Press the button until the correct year appears to set the year correctly.
    • For example, if the year is 2019, click the button until you reach 19.
  4. Press and hold the button again to set the month. After choosing the year, press and hold the button again for three seconds until the month setting starts to flash. Click through the numbers 1-12 to choose the current month.
    • For example, if it is September, choose the number 9.
  5. Press and hold the button one last time to select the day. Hold the button for three seconds until the date starts to flash (these are the numbers immediately below the month). These numbers run from 1-31. Click the button until you reach the correct day.
    • Don't worry if you're scrolling past the correct day - just keep clicking the button to go through the numbers again.
  6. Release the button to save the date to your watch. Once the correct year, month, and date have been selected, do not touch the button for a few seconds. The numbers will stop flashing, letting you know that your watch's date has been officially set.

Tips

  • It can be a bit difficult to tap the little button so be patient and don't worry if you have to try it a few times.
  • You can change the date on your watch by pressing the button twice, then holding the button for three seconds, just like you did with the time.
