I can't set the time for my watch (roxy syrup digital watch)- no instructions :(

This is where men and women differ, for example when I buy a new watch...I get the instructions, laugh in its face and throw them in the bin and then spend 6-7 hours setting the time. Whereas women spend a few minutes fiddling with it, then go to the internet to ask for help.

So from previous experience holding down one of the buttons and pressing a 2nd button, would allow me to set the time....best I can i'm afraid but it's better than nothing xD

Lol! I bought it off ebay and it said it came with no instructions but I thought "PAH! Instructions?!? Who needs instructions!!"

Turns out I do.

But seriously it's like no digital watch I've ever seen before, I've tried every combination of button pressing possible (including the light button ha!) and nothing. I've emailed the Roxy headquarters in France for help, I'm sure they'll respond any time now...

You could try google searchs with model number/make etc

I think you did the best option (emailing them) just hope you're not trolled by them, ie replying in french.....well unless you speak french.

You could try pressing the mode button until it gets to the timer and then holding the same button down while pressing another. I swear they make every damn watch different and more complicated each year.

I've asked another seller on ebay selling the same watch if they could let me know too, so fingers crossed I'll find out somehow! Ha I know right?! Oh well thanks for trying to help anyways
