To set an Armitron watch, press and hold the lower-left button for 2 to 3 seconds, press the lower-left button, then the lower-right button to advance the minutes, and press the lower-left button, then the lower-right button to advance the hour. This process takes just a few minutes and requires access to the watch and the correct time. While there are multiple Armitron watch models, the All-Sport models are often used.
