I took a watch to one of those shopping center repairers to change the battery.
It has two batteries to to run both an analogue and a digital time system.
Left it with him while I shopped.
Upon returning,just in time to see him screwing on the back again.
He informed me that he had to just about to totally dismantle the watch to get at the battery that was dead.
Said it would cost more than the watch and not worth the time or money required.
I went and bought a new Casio for $20:00 more than the repair of the 2 year old watch.
One half of the old watch is still working and the other is "Dead Jim"
Cheers
