RiverWind asked how one avoids buying a dud-watch and from whom you should buy it.
well, I don't have a clue, but you should keep in mind that a talking watch with an analog face runs on two batteries. I suppose that doubles your chance of having battery problems. One battery is for the analog hand movement and the other one is for the talking mechanism. If someone changes your batteries, you should remind him or her that it has two batteries. ILA used to sell a battery changing kit that includes tools. I don't know if they still stock it. It was about $20.00 or $25.00 (USD).
