Watch Light

[chucky]

Here is a watch I made back in April with a built-in flashlight.

2ea 3mm led's for the flashlight
CR2450 battery for 15 years run time - less with lots of light use
Guts out of a $15.00 watch off ebay - Casio Waveceptor WV59A - never need to set it
I cut the crystal out of a peace of window glass.
The band is an old belt.
6 refrigerator magnets for the buckle.
2 external pizeo's for a loud alarm
Built-in tool for battery change and tightening screws
Just shake hard to turn on the backlight

Yeah, that looks seriously well made. Do you have a cnc laser router and solder reflow oven in your garage or something?

I've been around this world 48+ years and I have never heard of someone making their own watch.

:goodjob:

Thanks guys

I have been around for 52+ years

Runtime on the watch should be around 8 to 10 years if I only use the light less then 5 minutes a week – I hope.

Here is a pic of it apart.
