SYMPTOMS

When you download the time and time zone information to the Timex Data Link Watch, the time downloaded to the watch will not match the time that is shown on the computer.

CAUSE

By default, when you export to the Timex Data Link Watch, the watch gets the time from the computer prior to invoking the download routine. Depending on the amount of time for the download of information, the time setting on the watch may be from 5 seconds to 1 minute slower than the computer's time.

WORKAROUND

You can add the following command to the DATALINK.INI file located in the Windows directory to have a more accurate download:
   [Settings]
   SyncTime=1
