MultiWatch2.0 Instruction Manual
Getting Started:
Congratulations on purchasing the second
version of the most awesome watch in existence!
In the box you will find this manual, a black
rubber 24mm watch band, one CR2 32 coin cell
battery, a shiny new aluminum case, the circuit
board with battery connector, and a pair of acrylic
tops (one is a spare, just in case). Pop the watch
band in to place, make sure they are both facing
up. Insert the CR2 32 coin cell battery (provided,
also available at most local pharmacies) into the
battery holder. The display on the front will
immediately count from “ -9” and “A-F” and
then turn off. If it does not display this pattern
immediately, remove the battery wait about 1
seconds and reinsert it. Carefully place the circuit
board right side up back into the case so the
square button on the circuit board is closest to the
long side of the band (unless you want to wear the
band upside down). At this point it is best to set
the time, see the “Setting the Time” section
below.
To set the acrylic top in place, remove the
protective sheet from both sides and set in to
place. It is best to use a rubber mallet to fully set
it, most jewelers will also be able to set the
acrylic correctly. In order to remove the acrylic
top, take a thin flathead screwdriver and
CAREFULLY pry up the acrylic. Start at one of
the four indents and pry up a little bit of each side
until the whole acrylic piece comes free. You can
also take it to a local jeweler and have them
remove it for you.
Tip for replacing the battery: If the display is not
on when you remove the battery, and you do not
press the button to turn it on, the watch will keep
the time for about 7 seconds while the battery is
not present, move quickly.
Setting the Time:
This is most easily done with the top
Acrylic cover removed. Press and hold the push
button near the bottom of the circuit board until
the right two digits of the display start to flash.
The watch will be set to 24hr mode, in the
Decimal number base (to make things easier).
Pressing the button will increment the minutes by
1. When you are happy with the time, press and
hold the push button again, the left two digits will
begin to flash. Press the push button to increment
the hours by 1, remember, this is in 24hr mode ( -
23). When satisfied, press and hold the push
button again, only the right two digits will be on
and they will be blinking.
This option is to change the display to 12hr or
24hr mode, pressing the button will switch
between the two.
When ready, press and hold the push button one
last time until the display turns off. The time is
now set.

Displaying the Time:
To enable the display, simply give the face
of the watch a firm tap with your hand, table,
wall, or any other firm object (just don't hurt
yourself or others).
The display will turn on for about five seconds
before turning off again. If the button is pressed
again while the display is still active, it will
switch the current number base. The bases rotate
in order: Binary, Octal, Decimal, Hexadecimal,
and back around. Once the display turns off, the
watch will remain in the same number base until
it is changed via the method above.
But, What Does it ll Mean:
Below you will find a quick tutorial on
understanding the four different number bases, if
you are still having some trouble it is
recommended to do some searching on the
Internet.
Decimal:
This is the standard numbering system we
use in everyday life, -9. The numbers on the
display will look like the following:
Octal:
This number base is very close to
Decimal, however, instead of counting from -9
and then adding one to the tens place, it counts
from -7 and then adds one to the tens place. As
an example, below is a quick arithmetic way to
convert 17 decimal into octal:
17 – 8 = 9 ones remain + 1 tens
9 – 8 = 1 ones remain + 2 tens
17 decimal is equal to 21 octal.
There may be easier ways to convert this, each
person is different.
Hexadecimal:
This number base uses the number -9 and
A-F to count ultimately from to 15 (using one
digit as opposed to two) then adding 1 to the tens
place. The digit displays above, in addition to the
ones below, are used to convey the time:
As an example, below is a quick arithmetic way
to convert 45 Decimal to Hexadecimal:
45 – 16 = 29 ones remain + 1 tens
29 – 16 = 13 ones remain + 2 tens
13 Decimal in Hexadecimal is D + 2 tens.
45 Decimal is equal to 2D Hexadecimal.
Binary:
This is most likely the hardest base to get
the hang of. Each digit of the display has 4
vertical segments (and three horizontal that are
not used in binary), the top row of them spanning
all four digits is the hours while the bottom row
spanning all four digits is the minutes. The best
way to describe binary is that it increments from
right to left starting at one and doubling every
time. The far right place is worth 1, one left of
that is worth 2, one left of that is worth 4, and so
on. If a segment is lit, that places worth is added
to the total for that line. Let's do a few examples:
The time is 18:49
The time is 7:14
The time is : (midnight)

Water:
The MultiWatch is water resistant, but it is
not recommended to take it under more than a
few feet of water (the shower should be OK). If
water does happen to get inside, immediately
remove the cover and the circuit board, remove
the battery, and dry with a towel. After letting it
dry out for a few hours, insert the battery and see
if it turns on again. If you are still having issues
please contact KBEmbedded support.
ging:
The MultiWatch2. has an aluminum case
and an acrylic top. These are not the hardest of
materials, but they are very strong. They will
show scratches and nicks as time goes one, this
creates a uniqueness in this already unique watch.
