Teardown: Crappy Inverse LCD RGB LED Back Light Watch | Tokyo

Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video

1. these little watches sell like crazy in my country. they are made to look cook until function wise they are trash.
   their electronic design are good and all the same its just their outer shell that is changed. I had a fake Casio G-Shock made like this.
2. in my day messing with calculators you just flipped the polariser not rotate it
3. Burn it!
   Throw it down a hill!
   Crush it under a truck's tire!
   Smash it with a hammer!
4. 05:20 because piezo sounds much louder when supplied high voltage. In this case is tucked right against metal cover so on 3V you wouldn't hear it at all. Looking at this watch makes me wonder who design this tat 😂
5. Only speculating because I don't own the watch, but that smaller time (identical in this case) is usually set to another time zone on other watches, so you can keep track of, say, home time while you're traveling.
6. that watch is so horrible. it's something I would have found or been given as a kid (who only got scrappy stuff) and still been disappointed by it. only difference is back then the cheap watches had a little incandescent lamp in them that did a horrible job dispersing light.... about on par with that led but 1/10 the brightness. made for the trash!
7. I'm so glad you tore this apart! I love your neopixel videos!!!
8. The inductor is part of the drive cct for the piezo - a big clue is it's connected to the piezo connection spring.
9. Blue thing: my guess would be temperature sensor. Looks like one that came with my DIY clock kit.
10. However I like its pcb. Fairly good construction than other shitty watchs.. .
11. A neat pcb
12. Were you really that surprised that the conductive ITO coating on the glass of the LCD is so transparent? If so, how do you think you are able to read this on your LCD monitor? ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) has been a vital component in technology for the last sixty years, or so - especially displays, as a transparent, conductive coating. It's used in touchscreen technology as well (both resistive and capacitive), for the same reasons.
13. the inductor is for creating resistive high energy oscillating to the Piezoelectric
14. The blue thing is an inductor
15. Get polarising glasses and leave the filter off, then only you can rad the watch.
16. Mmmmm, now that you've destroyed this watch, i feel clean again.
17. Coffin watch.
18. When I hear the baying for 1000s of volts and smashings I feel like hiding until the mob passes by. And today we found a few things to admire in the poor defenceless product. It was not made entirely in vain.
19. Greetings, thanks for another great video! I have a watch with the same type of back-light, but the one I got actually has hands and numbers on it, like a classic wrist watch, and is really very nice looking. I save it for traveling when I want a light up watch for night time, and dress as it has a very nice chrome and black finish. The multi- color light is a nice conversation starter among the old farts in my travel group. Leaving for our winter digs this coming week after my good wife of 47 years sees her doctor for one last med test.
20. Still think a 1month use review with Julian wearing the watch is a better idea.
