OK, so you've never heard of the twenty-four hour clock. Just take twelve away from anything that's MORE than twelve on your hour display

Well, despite the silly question (which I'm quite sure was a joke!) I have at least learnt something from the answers.
I never knew that the 24 hr clock was called military time. I work at an airport in the UK, and so there is never any misunderstanding over flight times, everything uses the 24 hr clock. I find myself using it in everyday life. If someone asks me what time we're meeting for a drink, I'm likely to say or text that it's 1930. It's just habit now.
But no idea it was called military time (is that mainly in the US?)

It is obviously in military time. After noon the numbers won't return to 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. It will continue 13, 14, 15, 16 and continue until midnight. In the pm the numbers will continue higher than 12.

Obviously, it's a digital watch? It's set to military time (or 24 hour), which means, yes, 23:30 is 11:30 pm. You should be able to switch it to civilian, 12-hour clock with one button or another (is there a "settings" menu?). Check the instructions, or find a web-based database that has copies of manuals online.
Good luck (and until you fix it, just subtract 12 hours from the time to read it the way you're used to).

OMG this is so simple. You bought a greek clock. The greek dont say 1:00 they say 13:00 there are 24 hours in a day. After 24 it wil say 1. This is a normal thing. I have it, my friends have it. Don't worry you have not been scammed

It's telling you the time in military time.
1 pm is 13:00
6 pm is 18:00
Midnight is 24:00
Much easier to figure hours worked using military time.

It's not broken. It is running on military time. When it turns 1 oclock, it starts saying 13, 2 is 14 all the way to 24. Look it up and you will see how it works.

i'm pretty sure this is a joke question but if not, your watch is correct, it's just set to 24 hour time. Once you get used to it, 24 hour time is easy peasy and very good to use in places where it's dark or light at odd times. to figure time in 24 hours (past midday) just subtract 12 from whatever your watch says. for example, if your watch says 18.30, 18 minus 12=6; therefore the time is 6.30pm.

No you have not. You have a watch that operates a 24 hour clock system.Drilling a hole in it may be a good idea. That way,it will not work at all,at least then you will not have to worry about it.!!!!
