The Invicta Speedway keeps accurate time, even if the clock is stopped. Once you set the correct time, the clock will automatically keep time until the next correct time setting. This article will cover how to set the time on the Invicta Speedway so you can keep precise time even when away from home.
Set The Correct Time
Before you start messing around with the clock, make sure you know what time it is in London. To set the correct time on the Invicta Speedway, follow these steps:
1. Switch the gear to the correct time zone.
For most of us mere mortals, the time difference between London and New York is not that significant. However, for those who travel frequently, especially for work, they will appreciate being able to set their watch to London time. If you are not sure what zone the Invicta Speedway is in, locate the world time zone indicator on the top right-hand corner of the watch. You may also need to consult an app like the Time Zone Converter to see the correct time in the right time zone.
2. Set the correct date.
The Invicta Speed will set itself to the correct date for the GMT time zone. If the date is incorrectly set, the time will be off by up to three days. Setting the date correctly is essential, especially if you plan on camping out or traveling during a vacation. You can do this by entering the current date in the appropriate box on the main dial. Another useful trick is to set the date for the last Friday in September, which will ensure you have entered the correct week beginning with Friday and that the time will be correct.
3. Correctly set the hours and minutes.
The first step in setting the correct time on the Invicta Speedway is to correctly set the hours and minutes. The Invicta Speed is a 24-hour clock, so you will need to enter the correct number of hours and minutes (for example, 1:05 pm, to set the time to 5:05 pm).
4. Set the ticker to 12 hours.
After you have set the correct date and hours, you can set the ticker to 12 hours. You can also set the hours and minutes with the Invicta Speed, but it is advised against. Many time-zone converters, like the one mentioned above, will set the hours and minutes automatically, without requiring you to set the ticker. If you decide to skip this step and enter the hours and minutes manually, the Invicta Speed will still keep time accurately, but it will be set to the wrong time — anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours off. Skipping this step can cause unnecessary errors and mistakes, even if the time seems to be correct on some other devices or software applications.
5. Change the interval.
You can change the interval to 5 minutes, 1 minute, or 10 minutes, just by turning the bezel of the Invicta Speed to the correct gear. When the timer is set for 10 minutes or 1 minute, it will sound an alarm every 10 minutes or 1 minute, respectively. You will not hear the alarm on any other setting.
6. Toggle the power save mode.
To put the Invicta Speed in power save mode, slide the crown back to the side to access the Power Save setting. When the mode is set for Power Save, the light on the main dial will turn green and the time will be saved automatically. This mode will preserve the correct time for up to 100 hours, which should be more than enough for a day of hiking or a short car trip. To activate the power save, press the crown and the light will turn green. When you are not using the Invicta Speed, you must put it in power save mode by pressing the crown and turning the bezel to the correct position in order to save power and preserve accurate time. This position cannot be changed while the watch is operating. If you forget to put the watch in power save mode after you set it to the correct time, the accuracy of the time will be lost and you will need to reset it manually. This step is particularly important if you are using the Invicta Speed while camping as you may forget to switch it to the power save mode after setting the time, especially if you are in a rush to sleep due to the sound of the rain on the tent or the howling of the wind outside.
7. Test the time.
Once you have followed the instructions to set the time on your Invicta Speed, you can test it by pressing the button on the crown. The watch will power on, the main dial will turn blue, and the correct time will be displayed. If the time has been changed incorrectly, the main dial will stay blue and you will need to reset it manually. This step will also test the time zone in which the Invicta Speed is set. If you are traveling internationally, you will need to consult an app or website to see the correct time in your time zone. You can also use the button on the crown to display the time in a different time zone. Just remember that many travel apps and websites are available and can be used to set up automated time changes, so you can set the time in a different time zone when you arrive at your destination.
Setting the time on the Invicta Speedway is a simple matter of following the instructions on the watch. The instructions are easy to understand and can be done in a few minutes. If you do not set the time correctly, you will end up with a few hours (or sometimes even a day or more) of incorrect time. The only way to correct this is to set the time manually from the beginning. This is especially important if you are using the Invicta Speed while camping or traveling as you may forget to set the time after you have already set it and end up with the time being off by a few hours (or even a day or more).
Keep It Ticked
The last step in setting the time on the Invicta Speedway is to keep it ticked. To do this, simply set the time and press the button on the crown. The time will not stop as long as you keep it pressed. You will not need to keep pressing the button every five minutes or whenever it beeps, as many other battery-operated watches do. Just set the time and it will keep ticking. Even if you set the time incorrectly and end up with a few hours (or sometimes even a day or more) of incorrect time, you can simply set it to the right time and keep it ticking. This is useful in situations in which you do not have a conventional clock and cannot easily set the time manually, such as while camping or traveling.
By following these steps, you will ensure the time on the Invicta Speed is always set to the correct time and can be kept ticking even if the battery runs out. Setting the time manually is straightforward and can be done in a few minutes. Remember to put the Invicta in power save mode before setting the time manually so that the battery does not run out while the time is set. If you do not set the mode before you set the time manually, you will have to set the time manually after you have turned the power on, which is likely when the battery is almost dead. This can be a dangerous situation as you will lose all the time you have set if your battery dies while the watch is set to the correct time. If your battery does die while the time is set, you will have to reset it manually, which will almost certainly damage the timepiece. Setting the time manually without first putting the Invicta in power save mode is a dangerous game and you will almost certainly end up losing all the time you have set if you do it incorrectly. The only safe course of action is to set the time manually first then put it in power save mode before charging the battery.
Time-setting on the Invicta Speedway is simple but can be a little tricky without proper training. The good news is that once you get the hang of it, it is quite straightforward and very easy to do. Setting the time on the Invicta Speed is important because many other devices and software applications that you use every day may be set to the incorrect time. Always set the time on your Invicta to the correct time and do not hesitate to change the time zone if there is a significant time difference between where you are and where you set the time. After you have set the time on your Invicta, you must put it in power save mode and test it before you use it. If you do not set the time correctly at the beginning, you will have a few hours or even a day or more of errors once you travel away. Always set your time zone correctly when visiting another country and you will avoid any confusion.
