Thank you so much!
It is a watch. It has three buttons on the side of it. One where the stem normally is, beside the "3" and the others at the "2" and "4" positions. When I press the button positioned beside the "3," the minute hand sweeps around the face and then stops. It takes it a few seconds to a minute or so to resume working as normal.
The brand seems to be "On-Time," at least that is the name inscribed under the "12." It says, "Atomic" above the "6" and "Water Resistant" and "Made in China" on the back.
I got another offer for the same watch on a credit card bill yesterday, so I know that the company is name J-O Direct. Their address is 7500 Excelsior Boulevard, St. Louis Par, MN 55426. No phone is listed.
The watch came in a plastic case inside a cardboard box. There were no directions enclosed.
I look forward to hearing from you and will be happy to pay you if you can discover the answer to this. Incidentally, I am in the Eastern Time Zone and right now, it is set to Central.
Thank you,
Miranda
