Stopping the hourly chime on a Motile WR30M

My son has a cheap watch with WR30M on the front of it. The only branding on it is on the back which is EL-COSS RESIST, however searching online I think it may be a 'Motile' brand.

Anyway the problem I had was that it kept on chiming every hour on the hour.

To solve it I had to go through many possibilities eventually finding a successful one:

From the normal (time) mode, press the 'RESET' button and keep it depressed (this will display the alarm time), then also press in the 'MODE' button. All of the day LCD segments (in the big circle at the top) will toggle between all on to all off. All on means hourly chime is on. All off means the hourly chime is off.

Phew!
