Changing your SKMEI watch to 12hr format is simple and takes under a minute. This guide covers the basic steps for most SKMEI digital watch models. Follow these instructions to switch from 24-hour display to AM/PM display without extra tools or manuals.
Step 1: Enter Timekeeping Mode
First, press the Mode button (often labeled “B”) until the main time display appears. You should see hours, minutes, and seconds. This is the timekeeping mode where you can switch formats.
Step 2: Access Settings
Next, press and hold the Adjust button (usually labeled “C”) for 2–3 seconds. The seconds digits will begin to flash, indicating you are in the time-setting interface. If another setting flashes, press Mode (“B”) again until seconds flash.
Step 3: Switch Between 12hr and 24hr
When seconds are flashing, press the Start/Stop button (often labeled “D”) once. The display will toggle between “12H” and “24H.” Stop when “12H” appears. You have now set the watch to 12hr format.
Step 4: Exit Settings
Finally, press the Adjust (“C”) button once to save and exit. Your SKMEI digital watch will return to normal time display in 12hr mode, showing AM/PM indicators where supported.
