Jackpot LED Watch

It's been a while since I did a flashing watch, so I thought I'd remedy that today.

The watch I chose is the Jackpot watch. As with a lot of these types of watch, it is produced by Tokyoflash and SeaHope. More information about SeaHope can be found in my SeaHope overview page.

It has four arrays of LEDs of 3x5 lights, each one showing a character. When you press the time button (top right), the display seems to spin like a fruit machines wheels, before slowing down and showing the time. This is accompanied by beeping which also slows as the animation slows. Double pressing the button jumps straight to the time, and minimises the beeping. Pressing the button after the time has come on switches the display to date.

Pressing the left button 'spins the wheels' too, but this time it acts more like a fruit machine, displaying symbols at the end, followed by a score based on how close to a matching line you get.

Pressing the bottom right button displays a number, which cycles through the numbers 1 to 4 and sets the amount you want to bet on the spin. The total at the end then gives you the accumulated score based on your bet and the results.

Text on the watch isn't very detailed, as it only tells the material of the watch and strap (steel and leather respectively), and tells that is uses a CR2032 battery.
