Timex Ironman Watch Repair
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лип 2024
- This Timex Ironman watch was ticking away quite happily, but none of the buttons would work. In this long-form video, you can follow along as I dismantle the watch to try and diagnose the problem. Is it repairable?

Chris. As you Brits would say, absolutely Brilliant!!! I can't imagine more than 1 in 1,000 can appreciate how inspiring this was. More so than almost any Ted talk I've seen in a while. Can Do!! Well edited as well.... I can see now why the Dali Lama picked watch repair as a hobby. Many thanks
God bless you, Mr. Long. I never would have been able to fix my watch without your excellent video. The video and audio quality were both excellent, even to the extent of being able to see and hear those little clips popping. In my case, after changing the battery the wrong way, I found the little gold connector loose on my table. Where did it come from? Your video gave me the answer. I fired up my cheap old soldering iron and now it’s running again. Thank you!
🤣29:56 "There's going to be a lot of swearing." Thank you for keeping it family friendly for us mate. 😉👍
Nice work.
Good job and thank you for sharing! 👍Bought a decent watch repair kit off of Amazon. Just over $18 US. Got it on sale.
How about the indiglow light...???
If it doesnt light up,what should i do to fix it...???
Thank you ! Your video helped me figuring out how to repair my watch
You probably dont give a shit but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my login password. I would love any help you can give me
@Kamari Jordy instablaster =)
@Langston Nash Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Langston Nash it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account !
@Kamari Jordy glad I could help =)
20:23 Killer iron on the loose.
Would work better with 2-3 mm tip and flux, but heck that costs more than the watch.
You should replace the solder with real leaded 60-40 solder. The lead-free solder snapped.
Excellent video.
Bro can u repair my watch in lap area problem
Definitely frustrating.
Why did you never show if the indiglo works or not?
I think I did press the button, but the room was far too bright for the Indiglo to show anyway. I can confirm that it does work fine after the repair - the whole watch still works fine even now.
hi is there a connector from the circuit board ti indiglo pads
Please send me the model no of this timex ironman
There isn't an obvious model name or number on it anywhere. The only numbers on the back are '854' and '05'. From what I can tell, 854 is the movement code, but the same movement is used in lots of slightly different cases, so I guess 05 is the code for the specific case.
THE BAND IS THE PROBLEM - YOU SKIPPED OVER IT
I don't quite follow you - what problem did the band cause? Thanks for watching though!
@@ChrisBLong cannot get the thing to go back on...
