[blindlaw] talking watch

Idf the watch is stopping or sticking it sounds like it might need to be 
cleaned. You need to take it to a jeweler or watch repair shop or have a 
sighted person look at it as they may be able to see dirt or grime in it. 
While this is more common with Braille watches as a result of their being 
opened talking watches like any other electronic equipment can get dirt in 
it.

I realize this is a weird post; but, I was wondering if any of you have 
experienced this.

I have a talking watch that has two batteries--one controls the hands that 
show the time to the sighted user and the other controls the voice. Anyway, 
within the last two days, it fails to respond sometimes when I press the 
time and somehow is frozen on whatever the time was when I last checked it. 
Resetting the time gets it stuck again. Other than that, the voice sounds 
fine so I know the battery isn't dying. (In fact, the last time I replaced 
the batteries, I replaced them both. The clock face battery died within two 
years of my owning the watch and the voice battery conked out four years of 
owning the watch.)

So, any thoughts? Is it time to get a new watch?

Thanks.

Mike
