SOURCE: cannot change from 24 hour to 12 hour

To change from 24 hour to 12 hour, you hold down the "Mode" button until it switches from 24 hour to 12 hour or vice versa. To change the time zone, you hold down the "Set" button until the time zone that you set it in flashes (like "LAX" on my watch). Then you press the "Receive/Start/Stop" button to choose the specified time zone you want. To set for daylight savings time ("DST" on the watch), after holding the "Set" button and having the time zone flash, you could press the "Mode" button. It will give you a few options for the daylight savings time (Auto, On, or Off). I chose the "On" option, which immediately changed for daylight savings time. If you manually want to change the time, you could hold down the "Set" button and keep pressing the "Mode" button until the time starts flashing on your watch, then pressing the "Receive/Start/Stop" button until you change it to the time that you want. You could also set the watch to beep or chime after pressing the set button if you wanted to know that piece. You hold down the "Set" button when you are done to get it to stop flashing. These instructions worked for my Timex T5G341 Universal Radio Control Watch. I hope this helps.

How do I change my Armitron WR165 watch from military time to 12 hour time?

To change your Armitron WR165 watch from military time (also known as 24-hour time) to 12-hour time, you will need to follow these steps:
  1. Press and hold the "mode" button until the display shows the current time format (either 12H or 24H).

  3. When the desired time format is displayed, press the "mode" button to exit the setting mode and save the new time format.
