There seems to be some confusion -- Mine is marked with "229" on the back, and is the single-button N7 model -- but yes, the 254/255 had a single button. There's also a chance that the 229 went from two buttons to one when it when from N6-N7, but I don't have confirmation on that.Are you sure yours is not module 254 or 255? 229 had two buttons.
This 254 module has a rare (Day of the Week Function). This is from an ebay posting below: Could the 1-5 be part of the Day of the Week function?
That's a good guess, but then the next screen DOES allow for "Day of the Week" (in two-letter versions), on its own.
So why would the MONTH setting go through FIVE "versions"? Wouldn't it be on a scale of 1-7? Whatever that 1-5 number is, it's connected to the initial month choice.
Is my explanation making any sense? I feel like I'm a crazy person.
Yes, your question makes sense. I think the yellow circled digit is the area in question (1-5)? Correct? Or is it the digit(5) to the left of that that is in question?Whatever that 1-5 number is, it's connected to the initial month choice.

I feel like the wear-and-tear-and-battery-usage might be a little extreme for this one, but I see where you're going and I LIKE IT!I know this is going to be a pain and might cost you a whole set of batteries, but would you try something? Set the watch to mystery# 1, Feb 28 11:58 PM, then mystery# 2, Feb 28 11:58 PM, etc., until mystery# 5, and in each case let it roll over past midnight, and see what date you get after Feb 28?
These are great tips -- I'll look up that seller. I did a deep dive into Digital Watch Forum and I opted against starting a thread there because that place feels very dead, especially for these vintage pieces... unless there's someone particular who's active there? Thanks again!2. Visit this all Digital watch forum Newdwf.com Link and ask them. If anybody would know, they would. (FYI: I looked over the 22 pages of threads there and I didn't see anything about a Computron 254 but it wouldn't hurt to ask in a new thread).
3. Contact this seller on ebay Ebay Seller Sold Listings Link and ask him. He sold one in Feb and sells several LED watches so he may be a collector with some knowledge and not a Flipper. He seemed to know the inner workings of the 254 he sold.
I agree that the DWF has slowed alot in the past few years. If there is anybody that visits that forum to read topics, its a person with a Digital watch and that is why I would post your question there if you feel the need to. There may not be alot of chat going on but the Digital watch folks still view it so if a good tech question does come up that can be answered it will be. No guarantees it will get answered but its one option to try. I have belonged to that site for years but haven't posted in a long time. I really don't follow LED watches much anymore even though I own a few examples.I did a deep dive into Digital Watch Forum and I opted against starting a thread there because that place feels very dead, especially for these vintage pieces... unless there's someone particular who's active there?
