How to set alarm on Shark Watch and others. Freestyle shark watch guide

The Freestyle Shark Watch is a great watch for doing sports. It has many advantages, which I love it. But it is hard to adjust a Freestyle Shark with just four buttons.

When I tried to switch from one display mode to another, nothing changed and the same pattern repeated. When I tried to activate the countdown timer the first time, I failed, but somehow I accidentally opened a foreign time alarm, and it froze for some time. Sometimes I could not move from home time alarm mode to foreign time alarm mode. Then, to figure out how to set up all the settings, I decided to use my Freestyle Shark Watch’s instructions that I get when I bought the watch. But this opened up another problem, the instruction is too small.

I’ve spent my time understanding instruction, and I want to share what I’ve learned.

Display modes

Four display modes are presented in the watch. I am sure you know all four of them and the mode description of all of them.

To move from one display mode to another operating mode, you need to press the S3 button to switch.

Before the selected mode is activated, the mode description of the selected mode will appear for a small time. It is about 2 seconds.

When Home time is displayed, if you press S2 button, you switch to the foreign time. Before you switch to other modes, the mode description of that mode will first appear. For example, until you change to Foreign time, the mode description of Foreign time will appear.
