11/15/2022 0 Comments Timex m cell battery replacementI realized I just needed to find a calendar year that was similar to 2013 (start on the same weekday, have the same number of days, and end on the same weekday). I also know a thing or two about dates and date manipulation due to that work. I spent a large part of my life writing code. So how do I get the dates to roll correctly? I guess Timex didn’t think that far ahead. I pushed the right side of the Timebar excitedly and was relieved when it rolled past 99 to 00 and onward to 01! Timex thought ahead! Onward to 13. It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen any clock have a default date older than mid 90’s. Wow! My immediate thought was “I hope it works past 99”. Imagine my surprise when it started flashing 1/1/70. Lucky first shot! Advance to hours, set, advance to minutes, set, advance to year, huh? I held down the left side until the seconds started blinking. This watch has a single button or Timebar as they call it. The next objective was to set the date and time. The replacement is a SR721SW or 362.Īfter getting a new battery in it I was delighted to see it come to life. I stumbled across it today on a UK watch site buried a couple of pages deep in search results. I’ve looked on and off, for quite some time, and been unable to find a replacement. Timex doesn’t event list the battery type. Good luck figuring out what that equates to in todays terms. The battery had long been removed, but the case is marked with “S Cell”. The first order of business was locating a battery for it. I’m referring to the Timex Timebar seen below, with no model number inscribed anywhere on it. I wasn’t even sure it would work after all these years. I don’t think it has been worn since about 1985 or 1986 when the Swatch craze hit. I’ve meant to do this for quite some time. Today I resurrected a 31 year old digital watch.
