The indigo part of my timex watch stopped working. It went very dull last night. Not bright like it usually is when I press the side button. I put in a new battery about 2 months ago. Anyone know how to fix it? TIA!!

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.

It is possible that either that the movement of the watch is not aligned properly after a battery replacement.

Thank you for contacting FixYa.<br /> <ol id="ecxintelliTxt"> <li id="ecxjsArticleStep1"> Press the "MODE" button---usually on the lower left side of the watch, but sometimes on the right center side---to cycle through to the time display.<br /></li> <li id="ecxjsArticleStep2"> Press and hold the "SET" button---usually on the right lower side of the watch---until the seconds flash.<br /></li> <li id="ecxjsArticleStep3"> Press "MODE" repeatedly to cycle through the displays that flash: from hours to minutes to month to date and day. At the end of the cycle is the hour display option. Make this option flash.<br /></li> <li id="ecxjsArticleStep4"> Press the "SPLIT/RESET" button below the face of the watch to change the hour display option to "24-hour display." This is the same as military time. If there is a "NEXT" button on the upper-right side of the watch, use this to advance to the 24-hour option instead of using the "SPLIT/RESET" button. You may need to press a "START/SPLIT" button instead a "SPLIT/RESET" button to cycle between 12- and 24-hour display. The "START/SPLIT" button could be located below the watch face or on the upper-right side of the watch, depending on the model.<br /></li> <li id="ecxjsArticleStep5"> Press the "SET" button again. You are now done. All PM hours should be displaying hours between 12 and 23.<br /></li></ol> Contact TIMEX for further assistance at:<br /> http://www.timex.com/info/Product_Instruction_Guides_Downloads

Click on my profile (escapement), then click on Tips and Tricks. There you will find link to all TIMEX watch manuals. Rate me, please

Check out if your watch has second battery for Indiglo function. It is quite common for Timex watches to have two batteries - one for movement and another for Indiglo.

Take this to a qualified watchmaker for inspection.

If you have any further questions please let me know.
Many thanks!

If it don't tick I can fix

I have a Timex marathon, and this worked for me:

Press 'mode' button till you get to 'alarm' screen. Then press start/stop. This will toggle the chime on and off.

the same problem, after 3 years of use.
Night Indiglo light was very bad.
thought the battery replaced it, the battery was okay.
began to collect but probably need a special tool, the glass cracked)

Hello from Russia, buy them again, excellent watch

Timex suggests that you have a watch repair person change your watch batteries. I think it would be a good idea to try and replace the battery, but if that fails to work, contact Timex for advice. If they suggest that you should replace the entire wath, keep the battery. I have no guarantee that any of that would work, though.
