Set Timex 1440 Sports watch

Couldn't find this anywhere on the web (the instruction manual for this watch does not match the watch). After many, many attempts I finally figured it out:

Press and hold the mode button for a few seconds, then, press the mode button again!

The 'set' button then changes the value while the 'start/stop' button will advance to the next thing to set.

Set the Timex 1440 Sports Watch (wr50m) Magnetism watch

hold down the "mode" button for 2 seconds. When the digits on the watch face start to blink, then press the "mode" button again. To change the hours, press the "adjust button". [instructions thanks to a comment below]

To turn the alarm off:

Press and hold "set."
At the same time press (and hold?) "start/stop."
You will see the alarm bell icon go away.
