Bought me a Timex today. Actually, it's a Kids' Timex. I already have a watch -- two actually -- but for the trip, I wanted something (1) water-resistant; (2) with an alarm; and (3) cheap enough that I didn't care if it fell off in a river someplace. My watches didn't meet those requirements. But I saw a $14 Kids' Timex at Target and thought, "That's my watch!" (Target actually had a cheaper model but it was by some company I'd never heard of, and I wondered if the battery would last a month.)
So, I bought the Timex.
Now, I was all set to tell you a cute story about Timexes of my childhood, but I need to take brief digression into the instructions. It begins with pointing out the five buttons on the watch (all of which are clearly labelled) and then giving each one a number. The instructions then read:
"Instruction guide -- Instructions start from time display. Press button 1 once. Press button 3 two times to select mode. Press button 4 then button 1. Press button 1 (button 2) several times or hold to increase (decrease) digits of display. Press button 1 or 2. Press button 5, hold for 3 seconds. Beep tone."
I swear to the Almighty; that's what it says.
I just threw them out and "punched buttons the way a 12 year old would" and it works fine.
