[Electronics-talk] radio shack talking watch

[Georgia Kitchen]

Hi,

 I think the battery is extra. They will still replace them here but I 
cannot say about how it works in other cities.  The battery for this watch I 
have was $5 when I asked them last April. When I brought my watch to the 
store a couple days ago because it wasn't working, the  salesman did not 
have his tool to take the battery cover watch off so he made arrangements 
for me to get another watch. I was lucky.

I often find that policies vary according to the rep that you end up talking 
to.
