I have won a digital watch (I think). Anyone else won one and know what comp?

I came home this week to find a jiffy bag containing a black plastic digital watch with big LCD display that comes on when you press the button on the side. Quite unusual looking but doesn't look terribly expensive. It doesn't have any logo, or name anywhere on it. Elasticated black strap. Quite chunky. Any help anyone can give me would be appreciated as the envelope didn't include any note or instructions. It's great to think I have won it but I haven't got a clue where it came from (or how to use it!).

Only clues: 2nd class postage paid stamp with HQ33014 on it. Oh! And it came in a round silver tin.

It's a complete mystery! Maybe some other MSE-ers have won one and can remember which comp it's from? It's driving me crazy as I just like to know. Plus it would help if I could atcually work the thing. Lol
:)
Wins include: Cushelle Koala Bear; signed Terry Pratchett book; tickets to Noisettes; Glenlivet Whisky; tickets to Henry Moore exhibition, Beyonce, ABBA world plus Red Letter Days Aston Martin driving experience. Still trying for holiday and car! Good luck everyone.

    :T:T:T well done :T:T:T

    i recall there's been quite a few comps to win a watch, or it could be from the daily watch comps ?
    sometimes you can trace the comp by your 'all thanks' in your cp,
    if you've ticked the enter/thanks,

    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png




  • Thanks Korky. I didn't know I could track my thanks so that's really helpful. Had a quick look and I can't see anything obvious that i entered. Maybe it is a runners up prize e.g. random merchandise. There's no labels or anything.

    I guess it may be that I never find out but I'd love it if someone else on MSE has received one too and knows all about it. Fingers crossed :)

    Update: I couldn't see this until I took the protective plastic off but I can now see that its an ODM watch. I've never heard of them, but have googled and come across a few examples. I think the one I have won is called a Black Pixel or Jelly watch. It looks like this but has a red digital display.

    I still have no idea what competition is was from. Has anyone else won one of these recently?
