No Instructions For Timex Easy Reader And Poor Dial Quality
Its good for telling the time, but its impossible to change the date. When I got it my Easy Timex Reader I saw that the date was wrong. I looked in the instructions on how to change the date, and all the instructions said was stuff about the battery, literally nothing else. I don't know if it was meant to come with actual instructions or not, but either way it didn't have anything useful in it. I tried pulling the dial out, which was absurdly hard to do, but I could only change the time. I had a look on Timex's site, and the model of watch they used to explain how to change the time was significantly different to mine. I found a video on Amazon (the only related instructions I could find) showing me what to do on what I thought was the same watch (later realised it wasn't). I tried pulling it out to 'two' for the date, but it wouldn't pull out. I found out the hard way that these were the wrong instructions for the watch, and that therefore there are no instructions for this watch, as when I pulled the dial a last time, it flew out across the room and I had to hunt for it. I gave it to family member to help, turns out you have to pull it out to 'one' for the date, and 'two' for the time. Because the dial is almost impossible to pull out, and the margin for 'one' is so miniscule, it's basically impossible to change the date. In summary, Timex Easy Reader did not come with any real instructions, and the dial doesn't work properly/is a really really poor design. Who on Earth designs, or makes, a watch like this?
