All you have to do is to set the digital time.After pressing the upper left button for 2-3 seconds the display digits start to flash.By pressing lower left button (MODE) once at a time and by using the left side buttons, you can set the right time,date etc.When finished press upper left button again to complete setting.Automatically the hour and minute hands will be set to the correct time following the digital time.

Without knowing the model of the watch i would say you need a new battery. It is typical for this style of watch to have two batteries or one lithium battery. In either case the analog movement will drain faster than the digital portion of the watch and will stop working first.

On the Pulsar website they tell you that the manuals are organized by "calibre" number. I did a search and I think the calibre number of your watch is NX14. If that's right, here's a link to the manual:

If that's not the right calibre number then look at this Pulsar site to find out what is the right calibre number:

By the way, Internet Explorer kept telling me I need to download a Language Pack when I clicked on the above links. I just hit "cancel" and everything loaded fine.

At last count far less than half of the solutions I've provided have gotten a vote or a response. I think the benefit of this site is when a solution (right or wrong) get's some feedback so others can learn from it...my two cents.

I too lost the instructions for my generic 4 button digital watch and had to find the functions by trial and error and the results are below.

=========================


Adjust Alarm/Time/Date - Press and hold Mode Button. When alarm displays, release. Start-Stop Button SELECTS, Lap-Reset Button ADJUSTS selection. Pressing the Mode Button again changes from Alarm to Time/Date, ADJUST as above. Pressing it again exits.

Select/Deselect Alarm, Hourly Chime or Both - Press and hold Lap-Reset Button, Start-Stop Button TOGGLES through the above options.

Select 12/24 Hour Mode - Press and hold Lap-Reset Button, Mode Button TOGGLES through the above options.

Select Stopwatch - Momentarily press the Mode Button, use the Start-Stop and Lap-Reset buttons to control.

Display Date - Press Start-Stop Button in normal time
display mode.

Display Alarm - Press and hold Lap-Reset Button in
normal time display mode.

Cancel Alarm - Press Lap-Reset Button in normal time
display mode to silence alarm.

Hope this is helpful,
George.
