ChN-03 FIVE Daily Alarms

The ChN-03 cataloged on this blog here is one of the final generation of the famous Electronika digital watches of the old USSR.

For an old-school type watch it is quite advanced.

It has a large display with two full lines of information, various other features, including an automatic timekeeping adjustment, but specifically the ChN-03 version has FIVE daily alarms as I show in the below video which is in Russian but I mainly show the alarm tunes that it can play.

And I also carried out a battery replacement job on it myself.

Just open the back which is easy to do by prying it open gently.

You don't have to unscrew the large plate just remove the little battery compartment thing holding the button in place. 

Be careful, it's very jumpy.

New battery installed, it's 392, I think, cover it back which is a pain but can be done ultimately.

 

Finished.

Radio time - somebody's trying to revive the disgraced DLT's career.

So far without much success.

My Summer Choice: Electronika 53V

The summer of 2016 has been very hot and humid in Moscow so far.

The temperature has been hovering around plus 30 degrees Celsius for much of the summer, only today it is a bit cooler but still a respectable +25 C.  

This kind of weather wreaks havoc on leather straps as you are permanently sticky so my watch choice under the circumstances is my Electronika 53V old school digital watch already catalogued on this blog.

The plastic strap on this model is not the easiest thing to use but I think I can just cope with it.

And the photo video below shows how I once performed a battery replacement job on it.

In fact it is still running on the same battery.
