Timex watch runs slow

SOURCE: Timex Expedition watch

I bought this for my son and he has been living with it for 4 months, and hour and ten min. off !  I just want to set the time, and I'm at the top of the world, no radio shack down the road.  Turn right at the polar bear.

SOURCE: how do I change time on timex watch?

These are settings for the Timex SPORTS 1440 Magnetism (5b841 -W163US)
These are for the 4 button SPORTS 1440 (not 6 button) - they will also work for the 1440 SPORTS "Informer" model wrist watch - you will NOT find these instructions on the Timex website - only the 6 button which will not work on these watches is on that site!

It's not ok. Usual specs are +/- 1-2 secs a month, no more.
Try battery change first and if it doesn't help, go and see your nearest watcmaker to solve the problem.

For Timex sport 1440 indiglo

When time shows up hold down lap/rst button on right untilset starts flashing

put st./stop button at top to get to number (minute) you want
hit lap/rst to get out.

SOURCE: Watch erratic. Slows suddenly between days of working well.

Sounds like a failing battery to me. Its very common for a watch to loose time when battery needs to be changed.
