if it is the Batman watch that has a secret screen that lights up when you pushed the bottom middle of the watch face this is what worked for me.I call that secret middle button the mode button.
push and hold that secret button on the watch face until the hour side of the time starts to blink. let go when you see the hour blink and then you can keep pressing to change the hour. to change the minute I let it go back into sleep mode then press and hold the secret button on the watch face and when it starts to blink let go for half a second and then press down and hold that button again and a minute numbers should start blinking. when they start blinking let go and then push once for each minute. it seems once you start one of these cycles letting go for half a second and then pressing and holding the mode button works. you'll have to experiment with how long to let go and then push.

When looking at the face, you have 4 pushers. Top left is for regatta function countdown. Top right is regatta function start-stop-reset. Bottom left is Hours-Minutes and Nite Lite. Bottom right is regatta function "catch up". Assuming that you want to set Hours and Minutes, press and hold the bottom left for 3 seconds...Hours will start blinking, press the pusher successively until the desired hour is reached. Then wait until it stops blinking. To set minutes, press and hold for 3 seconds, the hours will again begin to blink, then release and re-press for an additional 3 seconds and the minutes will blink, Then press successively until desired minutes have been reached. Stop pressing and wait until the blinking has stopped. Once it has stopped blinking your time has been successfully registered. Good Luck. Hope this helps!

to set the alarm, press and release the "alarm" button; then press and hold the "set" button until the hour begins to blink. press "adv" until
the hour AM or PM is correct;now press and release "mode" so that the minutes begin to blink. Set the minutes using "adv"; now press and release "set". Finally,
press and release "adv" once to bring up (or remove) the alarm icon. Then press"alarm" once to return to the main display.

To set main display, press and hold "set" until the hour begins to
blink; press "adv" repeatedly until hour AM or PM is correct. Now
press "mode" so that the minutes blink, and use "adv" to get the
minutes right; then press "mode" so that the next item begins to
blink; use "adv" to advance until it is correct, then press "mode"
so that the next item blinks, and so forth until you're all done.
Finally, press and release "set".

OK I'll do my best to describe the procedure...

Part 1:
Press mode button till the seconds window blinks
Press Lap/Reset button once to make minutes blink
Cycle through minutes using Start/Stop Button

Part 2:
Press Lap/Reset button once again to make hours blink
Cycle through hours using Start/Stop Button

(for this part, it's a bit tricky. Hours can be displayed in AM, PM, or 24 hour duration. AM is represented by "A", PM is shown with "P" and 24 hour mode is shown with "H", so keep an eye in the seconds window when setting your hour so you know for sure if you have the right hour)

When your done setting minutes and hours, press mode button again till you get to main screen
A helpful hint is to remember when setting up anything in this watch, mode will cycle through the different screens, lap/reset will change the value of whatever your modifying (AKA minutes/hours) and start/stop scrolls through the different fields.

Hope this helps. Sorry if it's confusing, best I could do.
