What the hell is that?


Recommended Posts

At a yard sale yesterday I found a bag of woman's watches with this in it for $1.  As far as quartz watches all I can do is change batteries. I went to put a battery in it and this pillow was in there.  I have no idea on what I have here.  Any one know what this is and how to power it up?

the battery is a rechargeable lithium and that also appears to be a micro SD memory card on the circuit board?. I don't suppose they put in the writing on the back of the watch? In other words the case back?

your pictures just fuzzy enough I can't read anything that looks like a company name? It does appear to be a compass watch. Then you need some sort of charger to charge the whole thing up.

Aloha All, 

  Its a Spy Camera Watch. Look at the front dial between the "TI" & "ME" in TIME, that's the pin hole camera. Not sure if it is a still capture (which means you would have to push the button to capture a picture)  Or video, which you would push one of the buttons to start recording, walk by your target with the watch face pointed towards the target, and upon returning you would review the video. 

cool piece of tech, I bet it still works. yet good luck finding the manual. you'll have to play with it and maybe google.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Cheers,
Karp

Spy Camera Watch

if you search online for spy camera watch you see lots of examples.

I found a picture which looks like their watch and there's a video showing in an action. You should build a plug it into a USB device typically a things that have memory in them will be recognized as a memory device to the computer. At least is worth a try.

That's a LiPo (lithium polymer) battery. The kind that explode into flames type. That is all bloated up and ready to go at any moment. I would cut it off and chuck it away PRONTO!

I suspect if you look on the other side the battery there should be specifications and probably a date. From the looks of the video watch was made about 10 years ago which might explain why the battery perhaps isn't in good condition. So did you plug it into a USB port keep an eye on it just in case.

    • 🤔 leaving the EU meant that UK was no longer part of the convention and have already been turned down an independent reapplication. I'm pretty sure courts have to be held in Switzerland in this case. There will be a lot more watches stashed away in draws  tbh, folk wont be able to afford to maintain them. Cheap watches will be bought and top end watches by folk with plenty of cash that can pay for service and repair. The expensive once in a lifetime gifts and everything else inbetween will be at the forgotton when they stop working. I know i was being a numpty, get used to it 😄 Anybody that knows will boycott them, but besides repairers who will know. Nope will never buy one, i made that decision as soon as i learnt about this. 
    • although not in this case.  It was the Lugano Convention and its deficiencies that allowed a Swiss court decision in the first place.  This isnt really a Brexit issue at all.  A decision that affects both the EU and the UK should never have been heard in Switzerland. I bet the authorised service centres in the UK are pretty pleased.  It's a massive shame, though; I believe watch owners should be able to choose to have their watch serviced by whoever they trust.
    • Hi guys I think that old hippy is correct, it opens the gates for china to manufacture aftermarket spare parts. considering that they already do work on behalf of the Swiss I guess this decision gives the a little more legitimacy to tool up and I am sure they will take advantage of the situation either with or without the blessing of the Swiss watch industry  Having read about the protectionist machinations of the Swiss in the history of Europe they were the only ones to get fat at everybody else’s expense. I think the outcome could have been guessed at but ,  fair play to Cousins UK for standing up to them.  Now the question,  will everybody boycott Swiss watches and Swatch, no way they will still fill their coffers.  Me I stick with the Japanese once renowned for cheap shitty watches who came good through industrial effort and don’t for get the Russians that most dismiss as low grade crap. Wouldn’t buy a swatch product ever how about you all.? a
