[Electronics-talk] lon lasting talking watch?

[Baracco, Andrew W]

Actually, I have never had a problem finding a watch repair that will
change a battery.  Of course, they won't do it for free.  In the U. S.
just about every mall has a "Fast Fix" or "On Time" store. Also, most
Sears stores have a watch repair dept.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves: talking watches whose batteries
die 
prematurely.  Of course, you can't replace the battery yourself, and
it's 
not always easy to find a jeweler or watch repair shop willing to do it.

Battery life also depends on where you buy a talking watch.  In the past

year, I have purchased two talking watches from Independent Living Aids 
whose batteries lasted a little more  than three months, just after the
90 
day warranty expired.  I will never buy another talking watch from them.
I 
recently purchased a talking pen watch from Future Aids.  It runs on two

AG13 batteries which are user replaceable, so if they die prematurely, I
can 
replace them myself.
