How to Set The SKMEI Digital Watch

We owe so much to this man for dedicating years of his life to learning how this watch functions and sharing that knowledge to save the rest of us.

[@jameslesterbaldwin9841]

Good morning. I have added videos on the hourly chime, the alarm and an instruction manual for this watch. They can be found on the “James Lester Baldwin” channel. There are two noted changes for determining if the chime and the alarm or are on (black) or off (silver).

[@DaveORourke]

Thanks for the video. A couple corrections if I may... My son has the same watch, and often gets it into a bad state where the alarm or hourly chime goes off in the middle of the night. I tried to find the manual online, but couldn't find a match. Your video got me close, but I still had trouble turning off the alarm and hourly chime. After much trial and error, here's what worked for me: 1. To toggle the alarm ON/OFF, in normal mode, press and hold the Alarm button, then press the Date button. Black = alarm is ON. Clear = alarm is OFF. 2. To toggle the hourly chime ON/OFF, in normal mode, press and hold the Alarm button, then press the Mode button. When the days of the week turn Black = hourly chime is ON. When the days of the week are Clear = hourly chime is OFF. Hope this helps.

Not sure if you’ll get this but when setting alarm, Mon flashes. Is there a way to set alarm for certain days of week?

[@jameslesterbaldwin9841]

Not as far as I can tell. I’ve been playing with it, but have been unable to set the alarm for individual days. There is a possibility that this watch is a knock off (counterfeit) and not all of the functions work correctly. The hourly chime can’t be turned on and off in my 6:08 watch. Fortunately is stuck in the off position.

the round circle on the left tells you which screen is being displayed. When there are petals that blink every second you are in the main (home) screen. When there are five petals in the window, but they don’t blink, you are in the stopwatch screen. When there are no pedals and no blinking, you are in the alarm screen, and when there are petals that blink several times a second you sre in the time change screen. As far as I can tell, there is no pattern to the petals except that there are five petals present every 10 seconds in the main screen.

The beep can be very faint and hard to hear. I have worked with six or seven of these watches and only hear the beep occasionally. I am 81 and my hearing in the beep range is poor. I just published two videos on the hourly chime and one on the alarm. I have found that it is not necessary to hear a beep when you turn the chime and alarm on and off.

[@jameslesterbaldwin9841]

Hi. I just published a new video on this watch (SKMEI 1163 Kids Watch Instruction Manual). I spent a lot of time talking about the hourly chime and the alarm. You may be having a problem because in my first video on the SKMEI 1163 I stated that the alarm was off when the alarm icon was black and that the chime was off when the days of the week (the day of the week circle) were black when you push the C button. This is not actually true. After you set your alarm make sure that you press the C and D button together and look at the alarm circle and make sure that the alarm is black. If it’s black, it’s ON. If it’s silver it’s OFF. The same can be said for the hourly Chime. In the main screen, you press hold C button and then press, the D button and this changes the status of the hourly chime. To check the status of the hourly Chime you have to push the C button and see whether the days of the week are black (on) or silver (off).
