Good news for those who got the LIDL ABC watch

hi barbanikos
I'm not very likely to try to reproduce what you wrote, because my clock seems to work perfectly. Maybe you should take out the battery and wait a longer time, so that the watch will be reset. Sorry I can't help you further ...

Hi again
Forgive me but I am now a bit confused as to if I have got all the possible functionality.
Looking at post #19 picture 2 shows barometer pressure with a high and low figure which i do not seem to get. I get the weather symbols at the top. When I click button D to move away from the time face I get the lap timer, then obviously the altimeter and compass. Should there be yet another face for barometer when time is still selected?
Many thanks

Pressing D cycles you thru:

1. time mode with temp and barometer readings.
In time mode press C to get:

• temp min/max, press A to reset min/max values
• baro reading with min/max, press A to reset min/max values
• time/current temp, press A to see the alarm time, press&hold A to set the alarm

2. lap timer

• press A to start, press C to get lap time.
• press&hold A to reset
• press A to stop, then C to cycle thru Fastest lap, Average lap. In these two modes, press A to cycle thru lap times (from 1 to 99)

3. altimeter

• here you can press&hold A to set the current altitude and select up or down couting mode.
• also, press A to start ascent or descent timer (deactivates itself after 5 minutes if altitude difference from start is less than 2.5 meters). Press A again to stop/pause or after stopping press&hold A to reset to zero. After stopping, press C to cycle thru ascent/descent time, absolute altitude difference and average meters/minute.

4. compass

• press and hold A to adjust the declination.

Hmm, I think I cover almost all, if you guys have any questions just let me know.

Hi, I'm from Poland and I bought this watch in LIDL.

[...]
Then I opened the watch, opened the metalspring that holds the battery, put a small piece of paper between spring and battery, so that there was no contact between spring and battery and then I pushed the buttons A, C and D simultaneous, threw the paper out, pushed one of the buttons and checked that mBar was blinking. After I had set year and the time I found that I also had the Lap-function. So I now have also BACSH. I'm curious if this procedure works for other users.
Have a good time!

I'm don't get it.
Correct me please if I did something wrong, but when I just simply put out and after 2-3 sek. - put it the battery ...it's just simply resets and then lcd shows this blinking M.
I don't get the meaning of this sentence: "threw the paper out, pushed one of the buttons and checked that mBar was blinking", "threw the paper out" - you mean put in the battery ? When I do so, it's simply turning on (right after I put in battery ), so I don't need to push some buttons for blinking M, it's shows a second after I put back battery in.
I put out the battery and then put in, put out - put in, put out - put in, and it's always this same. After I put battery in, lcd turns on and a second later blinkig M shows. So when I sholud push some buttons ?

Yes you are right. You don't have to push any button, after you put in the battery again. That was my error. I used a piece of paper, because so I do not need to open that metall-spring completely. Opening the metall-spring again and again will stress the spring so that it may break. What I guess that is the trick, is to push buttons a+c, or a+c+d, when the battery is out or the metall-spring has no contact to the battery caused by that piece of paper. It worked for me at the first attempt. Maybe you need to go into diagnostic-mode before (see above).
Good luck. If this don't works or if you have further questions post them here. - I'll be back. - Tomorrow.

Hi! Take a look at this G-shock post, maybe you can try something similar (if you have the guts to do it)...

How to convert a plain DW-5600 to a negative display

Hi Guys! I bought this watch in italian LIDL some days ago.
First of all let me tell you are very great! I was looking for a manual better that that of LIDL and I found this usefull thread!
This is my experience:
1. I have removed the battery and waited 5 sec.
2. I have pushed button A+C+D
3. I have reinserted the battery and... mB is appeared!
However I have noticed that I had only BACH functions.
4. Then I have tried again but this time I have pushed all buttons (A+B+C+D) and finally I had BASCH!!!
Unfortunately the sensor indicated a temp of -26°!!!!
5. Then I have entered the diagnostic menu by resetting two times and I used button A-C to calibrate temp (*). After pushing D to restart the watch I have lost BASCH ...
I prevously noticed that sensor calibration survived the battery lack of 5 sec. then I have repeated all and finally I had BASCH and temperature calibration.


(*) Note that at each button pressure the temperature increased/decreased of 0.1-0.4-0.1-0.2-... in random way. I don't have understood why this happens...
