An issue, with modern LED watches, which I CAN NOT AND WILL NOT be made to understand is why no seconds display!! Please do not tell me its a programming issue or something just as silly such as it costs more to manafacture a module which displays seconds. ALL of the early vintage LED's had this capability (even the cheap $9.99 ones at the end of the 70's LED craze had the ability to display seconds).
Maybe the current "computer programers" / "electrical engineers" need to ask their 70's counterparts how it was done. I am sure there are still many schematics from that era still around!!!! Again, please don't say what a big deal it is to design / make a LED watch with the capability to display seconds. I can go to the local flea market a pick up a brand new LCD (yes LCD) which display seconds for less than $5.00. How much more difficult / expensive is it to carry this technology over to the "NEW" LED world?
Sorry for ranting but this is a pet peeve of mine.
I have just made a personal vow that I WILL NEVER AGAIN purchase a modern LED watch which does not display seconds!!! I know I am just one person and probably sellers of new LED's will ignore a complaint from just one person but so be it! I'll just stick to the vintage LED's from 30 years ago that shame the features of the new LED's!!!
