[Electronics-talk] lon lasting talking watch?

[LINDA I FAUST]

Hello List,

I too have had trouble with my talking watch from Independent Living Aids, 
but I go to any Sears to get the battery changed.  The problem is that 
lately, my watch stopped talking after 3 months of use, and not even the 
battery was the problem.

Recently, I got a talking atomic watch from a friend for a gift.  I don't 
know what the brand name is,though.  I also have a talking keychain watch.

Linda
