Go to the Timex web site and look up "manuals". They have enough of a listing to figure out the correct procedure for your device. Here is the URL for the page I'm speaking of. http://assets.timex.com/manuals/?timexBrand=core I own the Expedition Adventure Tech Digital Compass Watch, and the following instructions will calibrate its compass. A. To calibrate for magnetic north, press and hold HEADING (from TIME OF DAY mode only) until ROTATE WATCH TWICE appears in the display. B. Hold watch level relative to the horizon (on your wrist, in your palm, or on a non-metallic table). Rotate watch slowly two complete rotations (taking at least fifteen seconds per rotation). Press MODE when finished. (Two-step calibration: Upon completion of STEP A, press HEADING. Do not enter a value for declination angle. While in TIME OF DAY mode, press HEADING. A heading will be displayed. Noting heading value, adjust watch position for heading of 150 degrees. Initiate calibration by pressing and holding HEADING until ROTATE WATCH Twice is displayed. Repeat calibration procedure as discussed in Step A. At completion of calibration proceed normally to Step C.) C. Watch will then call for you to enter DECLINATION. Pressing HEADING will exit calibration mode and leave watch set to measure magnetic north. Entering a declination value instead will allow the watch to point to true north, by adjusting for the angle, which varies for different spots on the globe. D. To set watch for true north, enter declination angle for your location from the chart below. Press START to advance flashing TENS OF DEGREES, press MODE to select DEGREES, then START to advance. Press MODE to select direction, then START to switch between E and W. Press HEADING to exit calibration and save new values. TABLE 1.

To calibrate compass you need to drive two full 360 degrees turns and this will calibrate your compass. If the calibration is not successfully completed, then you have to go to dealer to install a magnetic plate to help calibration
One can purchase Compass watches from Amazon. One can also buy them from retailers such as Timex, Walmart, The Compass Store and from eBay either used or new.
In most cases you press the reset button on the compass and then drive in circles (in a parking lot) while it calibrates.
Timex makes both digital and analog watches for children. Some of their models include the Kids Digital Camouflage, the Kids Digital Flames, the Kids Digital Rocket Ship, the Kids QA Blue Flowers, the Kids QA Butterflies, and the Kids QA Camouflage.

I would imagine you are trying to set the on board compass, these require to circle on full lock whilst they self calibrate.
Small magnets are rotated to "null out" local magnet fields so the compass will accurately align to magnetic North.
There is no adjustment or "calibration" for this.
Timex is one of the best brands of digital time clocks as well as watches, it keeps time with reliability and accuracy.
Timex makes moderately inexpensive watches, some of which including either digital or analog alarms. One of the watches in particular with good reviews is the Timex T47902.
The La Crosse XG55 Digital Altimeter Compass Watch is water resistant to thirty feet or nine meters.

It should tell you how in the car owner's manual. It's probably a different process in the 2000 and later models.
They don't, they're usually quite crappy and break easily when left too long out in the sun. If you plan on taking a hike with your digital compass watch, (makes sense, huh?) my advice is, DON'T.
No compass can be accurate with steel structures in close vicinity but a GPS will do the trick
Get rid of the dial. Trust the digital hygrometer. If you have a large humidor get two.
yes i usualy set the multimeter to the highest resistance range by turning the dial to the highest "ohm" setting.
Timex is a trademark brand.
Timex Datalink was created in 1994.
Timex Ironman was created in 1986.
Try to get some melting point standards and use those to calibrate. Unfortunately, because they use mercury thermometers Fisher Johns have become obsolete. Electronic (digital) units are available as replacement.
Yes it will... Check out this video demo: http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2009/04/11/video-nokia-n97-digital-compass-demo/
I know this sounds stupid but drive around in a circle 3-6 times one way then the other.
