Thank you as well! I had the unfortunate experience of having to set my watch for 2:00am to catch a flight and not finding this site until a week later Thanks Teresa
Somebody should start a class action suit for them coming up with the stupid “hide” setting.

Okay, why on earth even let people “hide” alarms, it just gets to be frustrating and this serves no purpose! Come on timex, smarten up!

I had to go through till #26 (likely newer Ironmans) before I realized I had to unhide the alarm first!

Sheeesh, and remember removing the battery yourself removes the water proofing!

Press MODE to cycle through desired Alarm
Once desired alarm is selected, press STOP/RESET to OFF

ok, there is a caveat to those of you who cant find the ALARM by pressing MODE.
it means (like I found out after going crazy) that you need to “UNHIDE” the alarm…

so first. press and hold SET
cycle through till you find ALARM
if it says HIDE, change to ON, by hitting “start”

now, go back to the orginal directions… remember there are 3 alarms, mine happened to be set on the 3rd one! which i have no idea how that happened.

Sorry, i meant Teresa’s solution

Jessica’s solution is correct ( bless her) but she should make it clear that step 1 of her solution begins in ” time” or ” normal” mode.

Go to the alarm mode, but not the setting mode, and simply hit start/ split. your alarm will reset with out having to hold an buttons, or pop out the battery!

After messing with your directions and reading the other comments, I sorted it out. If I did these two steps–done and done. Easy.

* Press the MODE button until you are in ALARM mode
* When you have selected the alarm you wish to erase, hold down STOP/RESET (-) to clear the selected alarm

And I didn’t needed to hold it down (for any length of time), it was just pressing the stop/reset button.

teresa, thank you! the other instructions helped me disable alarm1 and 3, but alarm2 was not visible and the stupid little clock icon would not disappear…your instructions helped me to easily find and disable alarm2, so now that annoying beep is silent. thank you!!
