Purchased this item 3/2/12 for my 91 year old, visually impaired father. The buttons are VERY sensitive. With the slightest brush from the cuff of his shirt, or with the bend of his wrist it would announce the time. However, about the first week or two of August 2012 - he inadverently pressed two buttons at the same time. He claims it made a 'pop' sound and quit working. The screen went blank. I replaced the battery - and it will now display a 12:00 time and move forward in time. However, it will no longer talk, or allow the mode, adj or set buttons to function. It was a good watch for about 4 months!  I have sent an email to the seller (Magnifying Aids) requesting their input on how to fix/repair/replace this item. I will try to update this if/when I receive a response. In the mean time, I will be purchasing another talking watch - from a different seller in a slightly different model.
