    I have the same problem. I've tried every combination of buttons possible. What a pain!

    first hold all the buttons and then the watch will reset. after that hold the light button for like 5 seconds and then you will see all those options.

    Okay, none of these answers actually tell me how to change the time. Don't have instruction manual. I can hold the light, change to Time, but after that? Walk me through the steps please!!

Hold the light button (top left hand) for a few seconds and the adjustment mode becomes available.

I don't know if this will work for this watch, but if you have a "set" button, first press and hold it for a few seconds. It will then give you an item to set, mine shows the "charm level" first. If you see a "mode" button, press this until you see the time. Go through the "mode button until it shows "set hour"- to actually change the numbers, use the "reset button," on my watch it's on the lower corner. Once you have the time set, go back to the "set" button, push it and you're done. Hope this helps.

I found that works on a different model of Columbia watch, too. After you hold down the light button a few seconds, my first option was to turn the light on/off, but pushing the other buttons switches the options and adjusts them. Thanks for the help, I'll probably come back and read this when it comes to daylight savings time again, lol.

I just bought a Columbia watch and it did not come with instructions. Coumbia watches are owned by Fossil. Fossil has kindly posted all watch instructions online. Roll over each link and find the watch face that most looks like your watch face for instructions. http://www.fossil.com/en_US/shop/customer_care/static/fossil-Instructions.html

The suggestions were helpful, but I found that if you push and hold the top left button(light) it will show Off. Then press the bottom button on the left and it will scroll through the functions to set everytime you push that button. The buttons on the right are the plus or minus. The top is the plus. Therefore it would increase the days of the week etc. Just stupid that there are no instructions.

Me too I'm searching how to set the time and my dad tried too but he only found how to reset it all: press the four buttons at the same time...

This is such a frustrating watch. Holding down the light button was showing "OFFSET 0H" instead of "LIGHT OFF". I don't know what I did to change this...some combination of the pressing the Light button and the Mode button while the light was on or off.

Where can I get the instructions to operate a Columbia CL 500 watch? Specifically setting the time and the stop watch functions? Thanks Michael Tyrrell

If you haven't already tried their web site, go to http://www.columbia.com/Watches/accessories-watches,default,sc.html .

Although all their watches are "CW" or "CA" models, they may have similar operating modes. Click on the one that looks most like yours and in the details you will see "manual".Click on this to download the manual.

I am having a hard time setting my Columbia CL-5014 digital watch. How can I set the time to army time?

I was unable to trace the watch you mentioned so I can only offer you an instruction manual.

If you go to "columbia.com" and in the search box at the top right, type in "watches", the next page shows and picture of a watch, click on the link "PDF ..............."
You will then see a long list of instructions which must scroll through to find the one that is for your watch.

The columbia site has no timing instructions.

Instructions can be obtained by going to the Columbia web site "columbia.com".

Insert "watches" in the search box (top right) and the next page shows a watch with the title "timing" and underneath in says "PDF instruction manual for watches"

Click on this and a list of diagrams for the watches appears. Choose the one that is for your watch and down load.
