To turn off the alarm on your Timex Marathon watch, you need to cycle through the alarm and hourly chime settings using the START/STOP button.
Simple Steps to Turn Off Your Timex Marathon Alarm
Based on common Timex Marathon watch functionality, specifically as described in the provided reference, the process involves a single button:
- Press the START/STOP button repeatedly.
Each press of the START/STOP button cycles through the different combinations of alarm and hourly chime settings. You will see indicators on the watch display change as you press the button.
The watch will step through four possible states:
- Alarm On, Chime Off
- Alarm Off, Chime On (Hourly Chime)
- Alarm On, Chime On
- Alarm Off, Chime Off (This is the state you want to reach to turn off the alarm)
To ensure the alarm is off, keep pressing START/STOP until the indicator for the alarm disappears from the display.
Identifying When the Alarm is On
According to the reference, you know the alarm is currently active if you see any of the following indicators on your watch screen:
- A bell icon (🔔)
- The text ALARM
- The text ALM
When you cycle through the settings and the bell icon, ALARM, or ALM indicator is no longer visible, the alarm function is turned off.
This same process also controls the hourly chime setting. The hourly chime is on when CHIME or CH appears on the screen, and the watch will make a sound at the top of every hour. Cycling the settings until the chime indicator disappears will turn off the hourly chime as well.
Essentially, you are toggling through the options: alarm on, chime on, both on, and both off, using just the START/STOP button.
