I could only find one reference to this watch on the internet. It's a novelty watch, made in Hong Kong probably in the mid to late 1970s. I've had it for years, but never had the right batteries for it until I finally got some. This has detachable wrist straps and a fold out stand to use on a desk or something.
After putting in the new batteries, it didn't work. The problem was with the old battery contacts. I cleaned and used aluminum foil ...and then it worked intermittently - you had to press on the battery cover to make it come alive. I then added a bit of cardboard on each battery so that the cover would press down harder and, lo and behold, it works!
As you can see, the state of operation is somewhat tenuous, so this is offered as is and with no returns.
All the keyboard keys make notes which sound like you'd get from handheld video games of that period. You can play a tune on it, but that's about all.
If you're a novelty watch collector or a synth collector or a piano collector, don't miss this one!
