Hi!  Wow, that's strange that they will not change the battery for your Braille watch at Walmart.  I've gotten mine changed their in a pinch several times, and they've done it with no questions asked.  One time I brought my watch to Radio Shack.  I've also brought watches to jewelry stores and haven't had to pay any more than at Walmart.  I don't know if I'd pay $50 for a new battery.  Sure, the 5 year warranty is nice, but I find that watches these days don't last much more than 3 or 4 years at the most.  For a while, a Braille watch wasn't surviving on my wrist for more than several months.  I gave up for a while, and then my mom got me one for my birthday, and it's lasted for several years.  I'm so glad, because I love having a Braille watch.  Talking watches and clocks were never able to replace my Braille watch.  Everybody always could hear when I was checking the time, because I was never able to find a way to make them talk quietly enough.  LOL
