[blindlaw] talking watch

[Mike Freeman]

I had one of those watches and it *never* worked right; the time on the 
hands never corresponded with the voice.

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
