Data transfer using CRT is done at 640x480@60Hz. At this resolution and
frequency, the horizontal refresh frequency is 31.46875 kHz, so one line
is drawn approximately every 31.78 µs. Using these timings, we can
quantify the above measurements and conclude that one bit is one line and
quantize the above measurements and conclude that one bit is one line and
a bit is sent every 15 lines. The watch seems to be a bit flexible on
this though.
Data bytes are separated by approximately 2 ms, and packets are separated
by approximately 240 ms. The interpacket delay is also present after

block of synchronization bytes (i.e. after all 0x55 is sent and after all
0xAA are sent). The 2 ms interbyte delay happens to be the same time it
takes to send two bytes at 9600 baud, in this case the computer sending
