Hi all, A mixed bunch of experiences there then. Perhaps the back of mine was replaced the wrong way around then, but unfortunately I can't unscrew it myself and don't have anyone around I trust enough to have a look at it. Think I'll ask the RNIB to have a look at it, and in future I will ask them to replace the battery. Oooooo wonder if anyone will ever produce a solar powered tactile/talking watch?! Seems frustrating to have to send the thing away to get a battery replaced. And if I carry on at this rate I will waste a lot of money on replacement watches.
