[nabs-l] Seeking Talking Watch recommendation

[Gerardo Corripio]

Hi listers: Here in Mexico we have talking watches of those cheap ones with 
a woman's voice and the three alarms; they seem to be made of disposible 
material because I've tried taking them to get their battery changed but the 
machine in the watch is the one that doesn't work! I believe they're the 
same you guys have in the Chinese stores that costs $5 or $6, thus am 
wondering is there a better quality talking watch somewhere that has a 
better voice and that not only tells times but has a timer, stopwatch and 
other functions or are you guys stuck with those cheap watches that I'm 
talking about? I used to have a Seiko watch back in the eighties which 
lasted about fifteen years: the watch you guys might remember with a female 
voice and that you could set up to sound every half hour either by voice or 
just beeps; that was certainly a great watch! and am wondering is there 
something similar or are there only those cheap $6 watches I'm talking about 
those that only last for about a year before having to buy another one? here 
in Mexico they cost about eighty pesos; imagine spending eighty pesos every 
year rather than buying a good talking watch and having to spend only the 
cost of the battery! Hoefully there's something like what I'm looking for.
