How do I get my Timex WR50M watch out of the 24 hour (military) time and back to a 12 hour clock?

Question edited for clarity and toss in some CAPS.

Military Time is 24 hour Time, 00:00 to 23:99! It sounds like actually want 12 hour time, 12 hours of A.M. and 12 hours of P.M.

You just ask :>D

Say "Change to 24-Hour clock" or use the Alexa app.

1. Open the Alexa app .
2. Select Devices .
3. Go to Echo & Alexa, or to All Devices.
4. Select your Echo Dot with clock device. This opens device settings.
5. Under General, select LED Display.
6. Turn 24-Hour Clock on or off.

Change the Time Format on Your Echo Dot with clock

10:30 pm

SHAKE N WAKE: TO CHANGE TO MILITARY TIME
Hit Mode 3 times to set the time
Hit Reset/TimeSet twice to make hours flash
Now keep hitting StartStop/Adjust repeatedly. After you go through 12 hours of AM then 12 hours of PM it will start going through the hours in military time.

in the setting after you have set the date, you have to choose whether 12 or 24. choose 12.

Actually all the hours are military time. They are the same for the first twelve hours of the day. If you go through the setting procedure it will ask you if you want "12" or "24" hour time. Select 12. "24" is military

Hi bowingman,

To use 12- or 24-hour time for your watch, please follow the instructions below.

1. Press and hold the "Set" button for 2 seconds. The "Set" button is on the lower right side.

2. Press the "Date Advance" button on the upper right side. This will reset the seconds.

3. Press the "Change Mode" button on the lower left to set the hour. The hour will flash. Press the "Date Advance" button until the correct hour is displayed.

4. Press the "Change Mode" button again to set the correct 10s unit (first digit 1 or 0) for the minutes. Press the "Date Advance" button until the correct first digit of the minutes is displayed. Repeat this step to set the second digit of the minutes.

5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 of this section to set the year, month, date and day and whether to use 12- or 24-hour time for your watch.

6. When finished, press the "Set" button (on the lower right) to return to the current time view and lock in your settings.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Possibly you can change it back by pushing the hour-setting button through a 24 hour cycle--you can see if you are on military time during the PM part of setting it. If it's on military, just keep pushing till you start over at 12 am again (hint: that's 0:00 in military.) At least, that's how it is on my watch.

If your set up is: Top-Left=Indiglo Top-Right=St./Stop Bottom-Left=Mode Bottom-Right=Lap/Reset

Than follow these steps:
1. Press Lap/Reset and hold. You should see the time the alarm was set for.
2. While holding Lap/Reset, press Mode.
3. Let go of all buttons.
4. There you go!

Hope that was a help
