I have an Outward Bound branded Timex watch that I purchased 10+ years ago when I went on an Outward bound kayaking trip. It can't be repaired. Where can I purchase a new one?

You need to pry it open.

I used an X-acto knife

You should be able to download the manual for your watch at the site below. If you cannot, contact Timex for support.

SOURCE: Indiglo has died on over 10 of my Timex watches

If they have replaced that many watches in that short period, I'm going to say that it isn't the watch.

Timex watches are equipped with some of the largest and strongest batteries in the industry and have some of the best reserve potentials. Have you ever replaced a battery and did it make a difference?

Do you use a magnetic bracelet or work around strong magnetic fields - either of which can deplete a battery - generally in about four months? If so, put the bracelet and watch on opposite wrists. This is usually not a problem with a digital watch. I suspect it's because the magnet makes the analog movement work harder and depletes the battery faster.

And some people just can't wear a certain watch. My mother is one of them. There is something electrical or magnetic about my mother that keeps her from wearing a mechanical watch. When I was a kid, the only watch she could wear was a green plastic Davy Crockett watch.

And 50 years ago, my left handed brother gave me his hand-me-down Timex when it quit working for him. I put it on my left wrist and got several more years of wear out of the watch. I think he wore out the movement on one side wearing it on his right wrist and I wore out the jewels on the other side wearing it on my left wrist.

Good day Sir, This model (WR50M) has four buttons, from left to right, top to bottom: 1) Set; 2) Start/Stop; 3) Mode; and 4) Indiglo.

To set or change the time:

1.Press and hold Set and Start/Stop simultaneously; the seconds will start to blink

2.Release both buttons
Use Mode button to toggle through to Hours, Minutes, etc.

3.When desired number (such as Hours/Minutes) starts to blink, use Start/Stop button to change number

4.When done, hit Set

have a nice day.

This one is quite simple. Just remove the watch back with a watch case knife and flick out the old cell then carefully press in the new one (VERY carefully as the movement is made of plastic). fit the back exactly the way it came off (note the direction of the writing).
