I agree with what Starmanager replied to Brehan's question except for the statement that it cannot be done while wearing the watch on your wrist. I turn on the watch either with a disk mag or a ring without taking the watch off my wrist.
I just bring it up to the bottom part of the side of the watch casing between the 4 & 5 on the dial. It turns on fine and I haven't noticed any issues with calibration. If I know I will be performing the watch effect soon in an impromptu situation, I prefer to turn it on without bringing any attention to the watch just yet and having the magnet out of play long before I call any attention to the watch. I just basically pretend to be nonchalantly scratching my wrist while talking to the spec, and turn it on without them being any the wiser. |

I have a question about The Watch for Joao or any of you electronic gurus.
I have a leftover self-adhesive metal disc from one of those phone holders that I would like to stick to the remote and carry my magnet on it. But I am concerned that having a magnet attached to the remote might cause something bad to happen to the remote. It's certainly not necessary for me to do that but it would just make it easier to keep track of the magnet and remote while carrying them in my pocket. Of course I would slide the mag off the remote before using it to turn on the watch. Anyone know if this would cause any problems to the remote? |

I am doing that. I have a photo of my setup in a baggie posted on this thread. Scroll up. Sticking a mag right on the remote works but since you need the buttons free and they face "out" from your pocket, you need to put the mag on the edge or the back of the remote. And if you do that, how are you going to activate the watch through the pocket? I tried that originally and it works fine for pre show turn on, but not in real time as the remote is in pocket. Also - I would not put a very strong mag on the remote. Electronics are electronics and subject to mag field disturbance. Go with the weakest mag that works, IMHO.

I got so much help in magic from so many people who gave tirelessly. Harder now without the magic shops which were magical meeting places but this is the next best thing and in some ways so much more inclusive. Glad to share! JT

Hi All
Any one else having an issue where you code the watch to work as normal but to re-connect it to the remote I have to remove the battery, reconnect it and synch it again. In other words the magnet wont take it out of normal working mode. It works fine if I turn off the watch using the code and then turn it on again using the magnet but just not from the Normal mode. |

Why is Joao Miranda suddenly sending me immature emails? Wow. Weird guy. Thin skinned is usually a sign of deep insecurity.
I’ve kept 100 % quiet on this thread. But when a fragile creator starts sending me insulting emails out of the blue - it’s a sign of something odd.

Todd Lassen has never replied to an email I sent him (I've sent a couple), Roy Kueppers proved wholly unreliable after I paid him to build a custom magic wand for me, I emailed Joao Miranda twice about his Haunted Box effect and he never replied, and Joe Rindfleisch couldn't be bothered to actually ship the product I paid for in a timely fashion. There have been others too. The brilliant exception is John Jurney. He was a real pleasure to deal with. Mark

I want to add (to my message above) that Joao has now reached out to me via PM and email. He apologized that my emails were somehow missed. Thank you, Joao.

To be fair, I have had no dealing with Mr Miranda, but I (and many others from looking at the posts) have had the same problems with a certain Mr Rostami ;-) Also, some creator's idea of marketing their product is to point out all the flaws of/or rub other similar products, or make extraordinary claims about their products ("The Watch is the final answer to the classic watch prediction effect" - indeed!). Has anyone noticed that despite the many comparisons, extraordinary claims and criticisms of the T-Watch, the T boys have never once posted or said anything close to discrediting other similar products? This is just classy... like the T Watch ;-) A piece of advise to creators... humility and respect for other creator's products goes a long way. |

I thought the T watch boys actually posted hardly anything about their effect or answered any questions from reading their thread .
I am normally wrong though but I had the assumption this thread was about Joao’s product and no one else’s Gaz 🙂 |
