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

Fri Dec 10 22:57:32 UTC 2010

Annette,

I have had one of those watches since the beginning.  The braille 
has never worked and the battery does not last longer than three 
months, even with light usage.  I will never buy another.  When I 
need a new battery, I go to a jeweler for it.  The jewler gives 
me a $10 coupon every other time, so the cost is not bad.  I get 
a battery put into it when I'm going to travel.  The current 
battery, put in in September,  died this week.  I probably will 
not have it replaced until June.

Yes, batteries are an issue with watches.  I have a 
braille/talking watch
that stopped working with in 5 days of getting it.  They would 
not take it
back because it was the  3rd replacement in less then 2 months.  
If anyone
knows how to get to the battery on this watch that would be great 
news.

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.

 Hi Brian.  Unlike Gerald, I have had great success with the 
atomic watches

 and clocks.  I live in Wheeling, so we are not that far apart.
 Occasionally, my wrist watch misses the signal out of Fort 
Collins CO.,
 but this is very rare.  I have checked my watches against WWV 
and the seem

 to be very accurate.  Unfortunately, I have never had a Grundig.  
Maybe it

 is just too good to be right!   Were you able to set the time 
zone?  Even
 when I have had a battery replaced, my units seem to reset 
themselves
 within 24 hours.  Good luck

 To be perfectly honest, I think these atomic watches and clocks 
are a
 rip-off.  I purchased a talking atomic clock a few years ago, 
but could
 never get it to set itself automatically.  Maybe if you live in 
Colorado

 where the signal originates you might get your watch to set 
itself to
 the correct time.  But I think it's strictly hit or miss.  I 
suggest
 contacting the seller ormanufacturer for assistance.
