I once saw a digital watch that would switch to look like analog if that's what you want. Can't remember the brand. -- Cheers, Bev You need only three tools: WD-40, duct tape and a hammer. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use duct tape. If you can't fix it with a hammer you've got an electrical problem. |

I'm on my second Citizen "Eco Drive" solar watch. The first one lasted about 15 years before the battery wouldn't take a charge any more, and I decided not to invest more $$ in it. The local shops wouldn't touch it, so I would have had to send it back to the factory repair center. Instead I spent about $100 more than a new battery for a new Eco Drive with an analog face. It was the only titanium model that I liked. A steel cased version would have been much cheaper, but I like the [lack of] weight of the titanium. |
