Can anyone identify this LED watch?

Post30 May 2012, 00:22

Hi, I'm a new member to this site, but I have occasionally visited here to read about some of the problems, questions & tips your members have posted, regarding LED watches. But now, I have a question about a particular watch I have, that I am trying to identify. I'm not sure if I've attached pictures correctly to my posting, but hopefully you guys will be able to see them. Over the years I have had a couple of watches like this one, with the neat chamfered(?) case around the lens, but I just cannot seem to remember who made it. The Buren name comes to mind, but that's probably not right. Anyone have any idea? Thanks!

welcome Dodger to the forum from us moderators. I'm pretty sure someone will identify your led watch.
Enjoy your stay :-D

The case design looks very similar to the Helbros dual display watch that I have, it could also be a Gruen as they did a similar looking model.

Thanks, kasper, richard, and bucko! I appreciate it! I think you guys are right, that it must be a Helbros. I had forgotten to mention it before, but this watch contains a Frontier dot-matrix module, if that makes a difference when identifying it. But, it's a gorgeous watch and looks like new (100% better than the pictures make it appear to be), and it works great! So, whatever brand it truly is, I like it a lot. Anyway, thanks for your help!

Looks more like the Gruen since it has a led display and a round red glass!
The design looks like an eye! Nice...

Hi, napnap...yeah, that was my impression, exactly, when I got it! It DOES look like an eye! Except, on MINE, the glass is almost flush with the case, top and bottom, whereas on that Gruen it looks like the glass is somewhat recessed. I say "almost flush", because when you run your finger across the top and bottom of the lens, it is ever so slightly RAISED above the watch's surface, just a tiny bit. Anyway, I almost kinda' expect it to "wink" at me, when i look at it! Thanks, guys! :lol:
