Radio Shack 63-5087 Multifunction Watch

johna by | December 22, 2024 | Electronics

I own a Radio Shack 63-5087 which was given to me as a gift by my then girlfriend, now wife back in the 1990s.

It has a two line display with the day, date and month at the top, and the time including seconds on the larger second line.

Features include a calculator, data bank, four alarms, world time and stop watch.

Battery is a CR2016.

Mine has been stored for many years and I recently found it and wanted to put it back in service.

Unfortunately, in addition to scratches, bumps and scrapes, the strap had disintegrated. I found a 16mm strap on Aliexpress but, being only a 20mm wide band, it looks strange and it also needed some cutting to make it fit. I have another 16mm/25mm strap on order which might be better.

The screws on the back of the case had corroded a little and one broke off. Many of the other screws are stripped, including the one that secures the battery.

Fortunately, it still works and the date defaults to 1988.

I couldn't find it in a Tandy Australia catalogue, but I did find the watch in a 1996 Radio Shack catalog from the US.
