Track Time Watches

[Gizmogle]

Yeah...I just got my track time watch back from repair.

It's spinning like bloody crazy and I can't get it to stop.

The site has instructions, but nothing seems to work. Pushing the button in won't stop it, and it's done more than one loop around and it's still going.

Help. I just paid to get it repaired and I don't want the battery to die!

 

[Beaker]

take the battery out, as i doubt you can fix it yourself

 

[Gizmogle]

It's not broken. I just had it repaired. The battery is new.

I've got it to stop now. If you go on their site, it's got all the info, but the button pushes don't seem to work properly for me. I've got it to stop now and the second hand is ticking, although it's not on time.

 

[Beaker]

Its not broken, yet it doesnt work properly ?

 

[Gizmogle]

It's not that it doesn't work properly, it more that I don't know how to use it

 

[Beaker]

Instructions, read them.

 

[Gizmogle]

I have. They're confusing. They're on the track time website.

I've managed to get it running 20 minutes late, which is an improvement lol.

It says you've gotta set it to fast, which is really hard cause it hurts your fingers ALOT, then stop it on 12. Then leave it in a window.

Have you got a normal one or a TOC branded one?

 

[Gizmogle]

TOC branded.

 

[Coxster]

Try repeatedly hitting it over and over again. That's what I recall TheSlash doing to mine after he tried to do something 'clever' with it and the whole thing stopped altogether

 

[Gizmogle]

Well, most of the time when you hit the button it doesn't work.
It does when you get lucky. But christ, it hurts! Then you can't stop it properly cause you cant get it to stop on time.

 

[1D53]

TOC branded.

Hellfire!

 

[Gizmogle]

Thankyou for that very helpful comment JsT.

Liar. I note a lack of evidence to back up those slanderous remarks!!

No problem

Loughborough (GCR), 13th May 2006. My evidence? The fact it now works!

 

[Gizmogle]

I don't care what you and TheSlash have been upto, I just want my watch on time!

 

[BJMorley]

Where do you get these Track Time Watches anyway? My freind has an EMT branded watch (which I want) But you never see them anyway, not even ebay!!

[Gizmogle]

They're given to drivers.

I got mine from eBay.

 

[Coxster]

They're given to drivers.

All members of staff (on SWT anyway) receive one on the first day of their induction week - regardless of what their role is. Alternatively go on work experience with them and you may well be able to get yer mits on one for free

 

[Gizmogle]

Ah, fair enough. I thought it was just drivers. My mistake.

Either way, it's still not working right!

 

[1D53]

I think all of Northern's staff got them too, definitely traincrew/dispatch/drivers.

 

[Mintona]

Yep, I got a Northern 90 one

(And it is on time)

 

[Gizmogle]

Mine was on time. Then it died, had to get it repaired, now I've not a clue how to get it back on time!

No witnesses?

Will EMT do it aswell, they are the sister company!!

bare in mind that EMT are less than a year old so there won't be many in circulation, whereas SWT is over 10 years old
