Same here. I rely on my mobile phones and Talks to announce the time and date at the touch of a keystroke. I also rely on my computers.

Thought the battery was running out so took it to jeweller's who changed it for me, and now the hands move but the talking part doesn't work. As far as I know there is no setting to switch speech off so I suppose there's something wrong with it, and it's just out of warranty so a bit annoyed about that. But this got me thinking - I haven't had any talking or tactile watch that's lasted more than about two years. Am I just unlucky? Or do other people find they never last long?
