[Electronics-talk] Water proof talking watch?

Wed Feb 16 14:39:24 UTC 2011

I'll take two Rolex talking watches. 
Regarding watch battery replacement, I called around to jewelry and watch repair stores in my zip code and prices to replace a batter ranged from $10 per watch to $20. Most businesses them said there would be no charge if the watch still didn't work with a new battery..

How about a talking Rolex?  Perfect for the blind executive who wants 
nothing but the best.
