MIO MOTIVA STRAPLESS - My problem is that the watch is brand new out of the box, but the actual top right button (Start/Stop/-) doesn't work. Also the actaual sensors don't seem to be picking up my pulse and therefor no heart rate. I can't return the watch as there have been significant issues with the seller (which is another matter). How can I get this button to work and to get my sensors to work? Is there an easy solution or even a MIO technican I can send the watch to in Melbourne, Australia. Hope you can help. Thankyou, Steve.

This watch appears to be a battery operated model from the details I can find. Self Winding watches tend to be a LOT more expensive and usually a Big brand name! Assuming the Chronograph is designed to work the two buttons are usually 'Start/Stop', (top button) and 'Reset', (bottom button). Try this.

-Press the top button once. The smaller dials should start moving.
-Press the top button again. The smaller dials should stop moving.
-Press the bottom button once. The dials should reset to zero. There is another function of the Reset button. You can 'Freeze' the chronograph display for things like lap times.

-Start the chronograph, (Top button once).
-Press the Reset button once, (Bottom button). The dials should stop. The chronograph is still running you have simply paused the display.
-Press the Reset button again. The dials should 'Jump' to the current position the timer is at.
-Press the Top button once to stop the chronograph. *Note* Some of the cheaper watches simply have the dials and buttons for the look of it and don't actually work.

Start by holding in the mode button (bottom left) until the first number blinks, then let go. You are actually in the alarm mode right now. Now press and release the start/stop button (top right) and the minutes will flash, again for hours. When the parameter you want to adjust is flashing just press the adjust button (top left) to change the numbers. When your finished simply press the mode button to exit the setting menu. To turn the alarm and/or the hourly chime on or off, hold in the adjust button (top left) and press the start/stop (top right). Each time you press the start/stop (top right) the CH or AL or both symbols. When the symbol is showing, that function is on.

mcdevito75 here, Most likely during the battery change you moved the quartz movement away from the contact buttons. Re-Open your watch carefully and make sure when you press the buttons, each button is pressing against it"s spot on the quartz movement.

Just talked to Adidas. Manual is wrong on this watch type. To change time: press top-left button "set/light" and hold till "light off" appears. Then, hit bottom-left button "mode," toggling until you reach the hours/minutes/etc. Use top-right and bottom-right buttons to change numbers as needed. Hit top-left "set/light" button when finished.

Have you contacted their customer service team? They are great at resolving issues and really stand behind their product. Their Facebook page MIOWatch also has lots of troubleshooting and FAQs too.

The Mode button on the bottom left hand side will set your "SET" buttons to work.

The first push of your Mode button will activate your Stop Watch. Press the top right button to time your subject. Press it again to stop timing your subject.

Pressing the bottom right button will reset your Stop Watch to zero.

Press the Mode button to release your Stop Watch function and return to the Telling Time function.

Press the Mode button twice and you'll be able to set your Alarm function. Your Hour number will be flashing. Press the top right button to set your Alarm Hour. If you Alarm Hour is for the afternoon or evening continue pushing until a "P" appears by your hour number . This will be your afternoon/evening hour. If there is no "P" that, of course, will be your morning hour.

Press the bottom right button to adjust the minute number of your Alarm function. Your minute number will be flashing. Again, using the top right button, you'll be able to adjust your minute number.

(If you hold any number changing button for a long time, the numbers will flash through rapidly.)

Press the mode button to release your Alarm setting function.

Press the Mode button three times to set the Time of Day on your watch. At this point you'll also need to push the bottom left button to activate your Time of Day function. after pressing the bottom right button your minute number will start flashing. Press the top right button again to adjust your minute number. Once that's done, press the mode button to release your time of day function.

Hope this helps!

The "second" hand on this watch is not actually a 'sweep' second hand, as on other watches.
This is a timer dial. ["Stopwatch 1/5 Second Hand"]
To start/stop this, use the top button (Button "A").
To reset this dial to 12 O'clock, use Button "B", after first stopping it with Button "A".
The "second" hand is the small dial at the 9 O'clock position.
In actuality, you 'could' start this and just not stop it...  Then it would function as a "large second hand". That would be up to the owner. (it might use more battery power though... ?)
