Timex chronograph tachymeter hand reset wrong.

The first thing to realize is that the traditional long second hand isn't the primary time-of-day second hand. It functions only as the Chronograph second hand. The time-of-day second hand is the sub-dial at 6 o'clock. The sub-dial at 10 o'clock is the chronograph minute hand and the sub-dial at 2 o'clock is 1/10 second chronograph hand.

The Crown(button at 3 o'clock) has 3 positions(4 if you include the indiglo); for the sake of explanation: normal, out-one, and out-two. What prevented me from figuring this watch out sooner was the fact that I thought I would break the crown off by pulling it to out-two, so much so that I was certain my watch didn't have 3 positions. It does in fact have 3 positions, though. That's one small complaint I have-it's kinda hard to pull it to the out-two position; it may just be my watch though.

To start, you need to zero the chronograph dials. To reset the chronograph sub-dials to 0, first pull out Crown to out-one, repeatedly press the button at 8'O Clock to zero the Minutes Sub-dial. Pull the Crown again to out-two, press the button at 8'O Clock to set the 1/10-Second sub-dial. Press the crown all in from the normal position for indiglo.

Crown at normal
----------------
2 o'clock Button: Start/Stop for the Chronograph.
8 o'clock Button: Chronograph RESET.

Crown at out-one
----------------
2 o'clock Button: Nothing
8 o'clock Button: Advances the chronograph minute hand one minute at a time (for zeroing)
Spin Crown: changes time-of-day hour hand only (awesome for time-zone and daylight savings)

Crown at out-two
----------------
2 o'clock Button: Advances chronograph second hand (for zeroing)
8 o'clock Button: Advances chronograph 1/10 second hand (for zeroing)
Spin Crown: changes time-of-day minutes hand as well.

Setting alarm
-------------
Spin the dial/button at 4 o'clock. The red arrow corresponds to the minute and the gray corresponds to the hour you want your alarm to go off. Pull the dial out once you have the right time to set it. It should beep when you pull it out.

Sorry it took so long to reply. I had the same issue and finally fixed it with the instructions above (mine was stuck at the 3 second mark forever). Have a good one!
