Common faults and handling

1. Q: After insert the socket, the screen is dark.

A: Check the power pilot LED is bright or not.

2. Q: The instrument can enter testing state with the sound of “Di”, but after placed the watch on the sensor, the instrument do not work.

A: Check the second hand whether rotation (and amplitude must be more than 100 °), the crown of watch (leading) is against at the sheet metal of sensor.

3.Q: Signal LED is bright, but the lines is scattered or occur many lines.

A: Maybe the beat is mistake, adjusted the right beat (frequency) by manual selection.

    The unit arrived and was easy to get it running by plugging in the watch mount/microphone into the back of the unit and plugging in the mains adapter which was for the UK and not a 2-pin job that sometimes arrives. A manual is included which at least describes basic use but it is worth looking on the internet for details about what the unit measures. In particular, it appears setting lift angle to the correct value for your watch movement is important. You can find this setting for different watch movements online.

    I have 2 mechanical watches, one being some years older and wanted to get an idea when they might need a service. And I am thinking about learning how to repair watches – something that has fascinated me for years. So I tried measuring the timing accuracy of my 2 mechanical watches.

    The unit is easy to use and showed my new watch is keeping very good time as expected. But with my older watch, the unit did not work so well – I suspect lack of experience on my part and the fact that the older watch seems to confuse the unit as it reported the watch had -180s/day accuracy which I proved to myself was wrong as it was gaining about 10s/day. So clearly, it needs a little experimentation to set up the unit.

    I recommend this unit for anyone who collects mechanical watch or has an interest in repairing them.

    As a friend of mine was being overrun with his business of fixing watches, he wanted some help from me to diagnose them in order to either offer a quick fix for the customer by myself or a more in depth fix with him.

    This is a simple setup of a display unit and the microphone which in a sense listens to the watch to detect any issues with the movement causing it to act up or just lose / gain time.

    The microphone plugs into the back of the display unit through a normal microphone plug, then you have the power adapter which also needs plugging in. It does have another socket on the back but that looks like it’s for the manufacturers use for calibration not for me.

    once plugged in you turn everything on it’s ready to use. just pop your watch in question onto the microphone using the clamp mechanism to lock it into place, also make sure that it’s obviously the back of the watch that sits against the microphone in order to make a correct reading.

    You do have the ability to adjust to compensate for irregular mechanisms but by default it works on your standard watch mechanism with consistent timing.

    All in, it’s a compact unit that should pay for itself very quickly.
