Type in your information
Using this software, you can create appointment, anniversary, birthday, phone number, and list databases. Then you
can download to your Timex Data Link watch the information you will find most useful for a given week, month, trip,
etc. In addition, this software allows you to set the watch's alarms, time zones and even watch sounds from the
computer. Watch-setting made easy!
WristApps, Time Settings, and Alarms do not
use up any "Data Memory". Using these
features does not affect the watch memory
"fuel gauge".
