 Seiko Nano Universe Collab SZER102, a lot of watch for around 100 dollars. These JDM collabs are pretty great. |

A new toy has arrived on my desk, and I was promptly asked to remove it from our house 
Behold the Seiko reference QEK101G Caliber 73705 talking clock!
I protested for a minute, but here it is at work so you know how that went. Meanwhile the dense Chinesium Armatron skeletonized watch is on the wrist today. For something that has been 'lightened' it sure is heavy

That's brilliant! There's also a model that speaks Japanese. |

trilo, oh that would be so amazing! The annunciation is a bit soft on this English speaking version, she's not especially good at saying 'pm' for evening time.
It's funny, the instruction manual comes with 6 different language sections on operation but she only speaks English as far as I can tell. I think she needs to be disassembled to review the circuit for a link setting to change the language. Seiko most certainly wouldn't have made more than one board for all of these clocks.
Then I also might have a chance to improve the daily rate drift of the clock, as you can see it's a miserable 0.4 sec/day or 12.4 sec/month (OK OK I know this is in scope of the product but I can do better if there is a trimmer to turn!)

Nothing obvious on changing her 'region code' on the board. Very interesting how the zebra strips are offset and much too large for the use in this clock. I'm wondering if there are some command button press/hold combinations that might shift it?
No option to tune the oscillator other than trying my luck with different capacitors which would require the removal of the LCD panel. I'm leaving that alone.
I think I'm going to try and apply some attenuation to the speaker output while I'm under her skirt, she's a bit loud in her delivery

A little bit of series resistance put her back in line. If I need her to raise her voice I can turn the 1K pot to scolding level again.

I have switched from black (7000) to orange (700C). One of my long time grail dreams came true today:   Enjoy your Thursday. Serdal. |
