New member with hes first LED watch..and its problems

[egomon]

Hello.

I discovered 70's LED watches a month ago and I am absolutely in love with these.
I bought the watch on ebay. Since I am only a beginner in the world of LED watches I thought to start with low-cost watch first. Just to get the feeleng and I dont have so much money to spend on them jet. Hope that will change soon.

And now the questions.

I put the new batteris in and there was some numbers (minutes) when i was pushing the buttons down. But then the briht numbres started to fade slowley and after that nothing. Bought new batteris but no reaction to that.

Is there eny possibility to get it working? I think there might be a million problems with it.
It costet only 9 bucks so i think the reparation will cost lot more. If i can finde someone in here who know's this tipe of watches(I'm in Finland)? Maby a new module would be better solutin?
The problem is this, that i have not seen modules on sale on ebay. Mabe some of you have, some spare, not so expensive modulse, what I can buy?

If you have eny other solutions to my little probelm please let me know.
I'll try to upload some pic. but im new here so it might not work ( dont know how yet)

Thank you.

sorry if it's in wrong topic

Hi and welcome to the forums,

Thats a Litronix module you've got there and one of the batteries is installed the wrong way also there's no need for the metal bridge contact, if you look close you'll see inside the battery well the two contact strips for each battery, in these modules the + on both batteries face to the back of the watch give that a try and see if it works...

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

The watch works perfectly.
Well, when i first opend the watch the batterys and the metal strip was like in the pic. So I was thinking tha that's the right way-but it was not.

So im happy now.

Thank you.

Great stuff, I'am only pleased to help, the main thing is you've now got a working LED watch, thats another one rescued and being enjoyed...

Please post a picture to let us see it working.

Thank you again.

I was so exited when I got it work that I was like five year old in a christmas evening.
Why didn't I think about the batterys when tehre was no + or - to be seen, My logic didn't work- again!!

Well I discovered the LED world just one month ago but I'm allready in love with those sharp, bright, red lights. And the 70's case design is my faforite.

I'll try to put some pic up.

And again thank you.

I used my crapy mobile phone camera, so the pic. don't do justice to the watch and to the LED display.

Will make better ones when I have proper camera.

cheers

Oh dear another one is bitten by the LED bug... , expect to start spending way too much money on those lovely little red LED digits...

Thats a very nice watch for your first LED, have a look here - http://www.ledwatches.net/logos.htm - about half way down the page and you'll see the makers logo thats on your watch case back.

Thanks.
I was wondering about the origin of the wach. Well i dont know nothing jet about LED watches but im spending all my spear time looking for more and more information.
As i don't have much money to spend on them (jet) and I'm a practical guy I want to own some more watches that i can wear all the time and not to worry to accidently scratching them or worse lose one of them. So more expensive ones, I think, are not for me but will see.

It doesn't last long, I put off for a while before I bought my first Pulsar thats when it all changed because once you find out how utterly gorgeous they are you want another then another and another....
