[Electronics-talk] Help with Grundig Talking attomic watch!

[Gerald Levy]

Just curious.  How do you replace the battery in one of these watches?  I 
have a drawer full of dead talking watches whose batteries are not easily 
replaceable by the user.  And because they are so cheap, a jewelry or watch 
repair place won't touch them.
