Google shows how.

?Quoting from the link above:

?"The Timex Expedition Indiglo wristwatch tells the time and date, illuminates at the press of a button, and can wake you up at a designated time. Once you receive and adjust your watch to your liking, you might have questions about how to program the date properly. You’ll want to have an accurate watch before wearing and relying on it throughout your day in class, at work or while exercising. You can set the date on your watch with a few simple steps.
Pull the plastic guard from beneath the crown knob (located on the right edge of the watch), and push the crown knob into the watch to start your watch. You will see the second hand begin to advance.
Pull the crown knob out to the middle position to set the day. The crown knob has three positions: “In,” “Middle” and “Out.” Turn the crown knob clockwise to advance the days up, until the current day appears in the window on the right side of the watch face. Turn the knob counterclockwise to move the date down in number. Push the crown knob all the way in to start the watch.
Pull the crown knob completely out, if the day doesn’t change with the knob in the middle position, and cycle the time backward or forward through 24-hour periods until you arrive at the current day. Push the knob in to start the watch.
Pull the crown out to the middle position and adjust your date to the next month for months that have less than 30 days. Your watch will cycle through 31 days every month, so manual adjustments for shorter months are required."

for a standard wristwatch
pull the knob on the right side out a little turn the knob which moves the hands on the watch, set to correct time and push the knob back in

How to Set Dial Indiglo Watches

• 1Pinch the winding knob on the right side of the watch between your thumb and forefinger.



• 2 Pull the knob out from the watch slowly until it clicks into the first position.
  



• 3Turn the knob to move the hour and minute hand to set the time. Move the knob clockwise to move the settings forward and counterclockwise to move them backwards.



• 4 Pull the knob out further until it clicks into the second position. In the second position (the one furthest from the face), turn the knob to set the calendar, if your Indiglo has one. Turn the knob clockwise to move the settings forward and counterclockwise to move them backward. Push the knob back in to the watch face when you are done.
  

How to Set Digital Indigo Watches

• 1 Press the button on the lower right side of your Indiglo watch to unlock the mode function of the watch.
  
  



• 2 Press the button on the lower left side to move through the modes. Each time you are in a mode, the digital display will flash. For example, when the time display begins to flash, you are in the correct mode to set the time.
  
  



• 3 Change the time (or date) by pressing the button on the upper right side to advance the numbers or the button on the left side to move the numbers down. When you do this, you will be changing the first set of numbers (the hour or month, for instance); to change the minutes, press the button on the right side of the face until the second set of numbers is flashing and begin the process again.
  
  



• 4 Press the button on the lower left side of the watch to save your settings. The button on the upper left side of the watch is not used in this process--it is the switch to turn on your Indiglo light.

Gently pull on the "knob" on the side of the watch. You may have to get your fingernails between the watch edge and the knob. It will pull out a little bit, then a little more. One position will change the time. The other position will change the date (if it has a date function) If it has multiple knobs/buttons, it is typically the one on the right side that doesn't have smooth edges.

For that I need to know how many buttons you have on your right side of the watch. Anyways this is the solution in case you have just one knotch on the right side of your watch. Slowly pull out the round knob on the right side of your watch. It comes out in two stages (in case your watch has date also) or else just one pull will be there. After pulling the knob out you can rotate and set the time and then push it back. your time is set.

Go to the Nautica site and register your watch and then you can download the instructions. http://www.nauticawatches.com/register

To set th watch you pull the round knob out on the right side. When you pull it out you turn the knob in a clockwise direction to set the date and time.

Actually I can't solve this. My son bought the same watch on a Carnival Cruise and had the same problem. Upun closer inspection with a magnifying glass, it is obvious that the hands on the day and date dials are fake!! They are just attached in the center to the watch face. The other two push knobs on the watch also do nothing at all. So basically a rip off, but at least it was only $20. At least it keeps time for now. As usual, if it seems to good to be true, it almost always is. Sorry about that, but we are in the same club with you.

the middle dial on the right side of the watch is used to switch from watch settings to alarm settings..
pull the middle dial out to put it in alarm mode.
To set alarm:
-pull the center knob out.
-with it out you can now use the bottom (right) knob to set the alarm.
-pull the bottom right knob out one notch
-turn the knob clockwise or counter clockwise to set the alarm time
-push the knob back in (all the way)

the alarm is now set

if the center (right) knob is pulled out the alarm is ON
if the center (right) knob is pushed in the alarm is OFF

I have owned this watch for about 10 years now and love it.
the past few years the chronograph buttons (on the left side of the watch) were not working well rendering the chronograph and count down timer functions unusable.

repairing a chronographs is expensive and watch makers usually charge several hundred dollars which is not a feasible fee for a watch of this value so i decided to open it up my self and clean it up and that did the trick.. its working like new!

enjoy the watch!

Press Both side buttons at the same time. This should reset the hours and minute mini-circles. Then use the top button to "start" the second hand moving again. press it again to stop the second hand. I'm unaware as to how to restart the bottom seconds circle.
