Timex Ironman Sleek 50 LAP Watch - Full Size

Watch did not include any instructions. Those I found on the internet don't work (say to "push this button" and I do, but nothing happens). Sometimes the display indicates a "+" and "-" but the associated buttons don't scroll through. I wish there was some explanation for the display -- I think I figured out how to count laps and get a total time, but when I push "start split" for the next lap, I get a couple of seconds of the current lap number alternating with a number that I have no idea what it represents. Fear I can't return it because I had to make a new hole on the wrist band that was too big for me.

I purchased this watch because I needed a lap counter and a watch. I don't use it as a lap counter, because it's too complicated for me to figure out. I have read and followed the instructions over and over and it's not happening. However, I have figured out how to use the Chromo and it makes a great timer/stop watch, which I'm enjoying and taking advantage of. I also needed a watch, because the pool where I swim has one clock that I can't see while swimming. I like the Indiglo light and I'm learning how to switch from one mode to the next while swimming laps. I also like the fact that it is water proof and I can leave it on while I'm doing the dishes or showering. My daughter gave me a very simple lap counter that I wear on my index finger and I'm using that as a lap counter.
