Hi i just bought a "the cannon" watch from west 49 and i don't know how to get the watch to actually start. i set the time on it but it won't start ticking. i'm wondering if it's broken, or if you're supposed to start it a certain way?

does the stem screw in the watch to hold it in place

Which country's time do you want to set?
In fact I don't know how to set it. sorry for that.

One of the dials should be seconds so you won't be setting that, the other two should be day and date, when you pull the stem and crown all the way out you can set the time there is a halfway setting ( pull the stem halfway out) if you turn one way it's the day of the week the other way is the date. Hope this helps! Also what appears to be a second hand on the dial a lot of times is actually a stopwatch.

look for a mode button then you can scroll to the setting you which to change. once you are there look for an adjust (or similar) button. you hold that down until something flashes or it allows you to change the desired setting. also refer to your user manual if the watch came with one

Your watch should have a "mode" button (often at 8 o'clock) and this enters the settings menu so that you can change them. keep pressing the mode button until you reach the setting you want to change.


You should be able to find a setting that says something like "24". Experiment with the remaining buttons to change the setting. The display should change to "12".

Press the mode button to find the setting for the alarm (Often abbreviated to "AL" or "ALM"?).Again experiment with the buttons to either remove the alarm or or change it form "ON" to "OFF".

Changing the values of the setting is often done by pressing the 4 O'clock button but if this does not work, try the one at 2 O'clock.

The problem that you describe--misalignment of the hour and minute hands--would be fixed in the way you'd describe--the watch movement would be removed from the case, and the hands would be removed from their pinions and placed down more accurately. This is a relatively minor repair if you have the right tools, but it's not something I recommend for the average DIY person.

The first challenge is removing the watch movement from the case. Some movements drop out easily, but others are kept in place by the crown and setting stem. These must be removed in a way that they can be re-inserted. Simply pulling them out by brute force usually damages the internal set lever; different movements have different mechanisms for releasing the stem.

The second challenge is removing the hands. Attempting to "slide" the hands on their pinions runs a high risk of damaging the pinions by making one or both of them oval instead of round. Very little force is applied to the pinions, so even a slight distortion can mean that your watch will start to hang up at odd times when friction is stronger than the force being put out by the watch movement. Even worse, it's possible to break one of these little parts--they're very strong, but they're also very brittle. A tool called, naturally enough, a "hand remover" is used to pull the hands straight up off their gears; they're then pushed back into their correct place.

For a qualified watchmaker or watch repair technician, this is a simple and inexpensive repair that should take them only a few minutes once they get around to actually paying attention to your watch. Given the high risk of damage to your watch if you haven't done this before and if you don't have a hand removal tool, I would suggest that you outsource this repair instead of attempting it yourself. I have ruined more than a few watches in the course of practicing this repair; it doesn't take much force to damage these delicate parts!

Hi,

Here is the link that can help you set up your watch. Also here is the All list of timex watch downloadable instruction.

I hope this can help you resolve your issue.

Thank you for choosing Fixya

Hi,the problem is either from a weak battery or a mechanical fault in the engine of the watch,
i think you should replace the battery,if the problem persists afterwards,then it's time to give him a wrist watch as a birthday gift.

Be cool.
