How to adjust electrical watch?
I bought a watch from Walmart, it can show time, date, day, and can
beep. But for afternoon time, I want to see 16:00 instead of PM4:00,
how to set this?
Thanks if you can help!

Read the directions that came with it. It may not be possible for the
module that's in your watch.

Digital watches usually come with an instuction sheet, not that they're
easily understood. Usually there is some combination of buttons that can be
pressed to give a 24 hour display. Sorry I can't give you a more specific
answer but these things are all different, from model to model and certainly
from manufacturer to manufacturer.


And my experience is that the cheaper the watch, the less likely it

has extra features, like 24hour display format. And if one has to ask,
likely the instructions are lacking, another sign of a cheap watch.

*Probably*.....

- hold top right button and press bottom left button. All these watches are
the same, give or take.

If it's a Timex, go here:

If it isn't, Google the watch manufacturer's website.

Oh, there are any number of ways! Extra-strong magnetic fields,
placing it two inches away from a 10kW broadcast transmitter's antenna,
use it as a Tesla coil output test device, throw it out the window to
see Time fly, zap it with one of those taser thingies, experiment with a
Dremel tool and a very slender bit, shoot it through a watermelon with a
spud gun... well, you get the idea. The list goes on.

In any case, any one or more of those methods will serve to make
all the adjustments you (or the watch) could possibly stand. ;-)

The best advice I can give here is not to shop at Walmart. They
eat their young. And spam people. Pop up to Sears, and get a decent
Casio. It'll last you a lot longer, and they come with very good
instruction manuals printed in at least five languages.
