Default Timex watch alarm quits after battery change

I have two Timex watches whose alarms have quit working after I changed the
battery. Both are plain, cheap digital units, both with the "Expedition"
name. One is only about 3 years old (an "iControl" model), the other perhaps
8-10 years old. The watches seem to function fine except there is no longer
an audible alarm when the alarm or timer "goes off". I had no trouble
changing the battery in either case so I can't see how I could have caused
abnormal pressure anywhere nor did I bump anything. And, yes, I pressed the
reset button, more than once.

Has anyone run into this issue? Any ideas?

Thanks,
Stephen
