Next message: Charles Seitz: "Re: recommendations for wristwatch "inexpensive""
Hi Jared:
I've downloaded the manual, but can't find out how to display seconds.
Can you point me to the English page?
I already know that pressing the (-) button when setting the seconds
would hack to zero secibds and that the minute needs to be set to the
next minute.
Thanks,
Brooke
