OK, so you've never heard of the twenty-four hour clock. Just take twelve away from anything that's MORE than twelve on your hour display

are u just simple or stupid?

I take it this is a joke?! It must be.

Well, despite the silly question (which I'm quite sure was a joke!) I have at least learnt something from the answers.
I never knew that the 24 hr clock was called military time. I work at an airport in the UK, and so there is never any misunderstanding over flight times, everything uses the 24 hr clock. I find myself using it in everyday life. If someone asks me what time we're meeting for a drink, I'm likely to say or text that it's 1930. It's just habit now.
But no idea it was called military time (is that mainly in the US?)

No you have not. You have a watch that operates a 24 hour clock system.Drilling a hole in it may be a good idea. That way,it will not work at all,at least then you will not have to worry about it.!!!!

corey d

it might be a 24 hour watch but if its not worth much buy a new watch

noeusuperstate

It's a 24hour time piece

Lorna

Thats because its in 24 hour mode try setting to a 12 hour mode meaning AM and PM

ninja cat

wow! I hope you are younger than 12 years old...check that when I was 12 it was cool to have military time...I hope you are younger than 10

arethusa_lad

it seems if you leave something standing by its self the military will grab it. since when did they aquire the right to have time measured just for them? you can either measure your time in 12 or 24 hour sections, its up to you... Military Time... Rubbish, just the good old 24 hour clock.

the one and only

Hey Brother your watch has the 24hr process what you have to do is change to the regular based again. It's real easy

That's not the problem. Basically other countries use 13:00-23:00 etc and 00:00 is 12AM :)
Also Military too.

There should be a button for that on your watch click and it will make it AM/PM

Good luck

Military time .
1 is 13
2 is 14 and so on.

i'm pretty sure this is a joke question but if not, your watch is correct, it's just set to 24 hour time. Once you get used to it, 24 hour time is easy peasy and very good to use in places where it's dark or light at odd times. to figure time in 24 hours (past midday) just subtract 12 from whatever your watch says. for example, if your watch says 18.30, 18 minus 12=6; therefore the time is 6.30pm.

happy_southernlady

It's telling you the time in military time.
1 pm is 13:00
6 pm is 18:00
Midnight is 24:00
Much easier to figure hours worked using military time.

old dick withers

serves u right for buying chinese rubbish

OMG this is so simple. You bought a greek clock. The greek dont say 1:00 they say 13:00 there are 24 hours in a day. After 24 it wil say 1. This is a normal thing. I have it, my friends have it. Don't worry you have not been scammed

It is obviously in military time. After noon the numbers won't return to 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. It will continue 13, 14, 15, 16 and continue until midnight. In the pm the numbers will continue higher than 12.

hellonursenku

It's not broken. It is running on military time. When it turns 1 oclock, it starts saying 13, 2 is 14 all the way to 24. Look it up and you will see how it works.

CookiE

Did you buy a military time watch? 1pm is 13:00 mil time -

veganmarshmallows

Dude, it's military time. If it is PM you add 12 to the time that is why it says 13 at 1pm

24 hour time....
1=13.00
2=14.00
3=15.00
4=16.00
5=17
6=18
7=19
8=20
9=21
10=22
11=23
Hence 11.30 =23.30

E.B.

You have it set on a 24 hour clock function aka military time. Somewhere in your settings (usually in the time settings as you scroll through) there should be an option for 12 hour.

jami1kenob

It's showing you military time.

Chef

Obviously, it's a digital watch? It's set to military time (or 24 hour), which means, yes, 23:30 is 11:30 pm. You should be able to switch it to civilian, 12-hour clock with one button or another (is there a "settings" menu?). Check the instructions, or find a web-based database that has copies of manuals online.

Good luck (and until you fix it, just subtract 12 hours from the time to read it the way you're used to).

cute_and_sweet
