I still have one that works, but the front part is actually peeling off.
I've tried glue, etc. and can't get it to stay on completely. Personally, I
prefer the 4 alarm talking watch. I set the alarms to remind me of certain
times during the day when I need to do certain things at work. I don't know
where, or even if you can still obtain them.

The most trouble bI had with those was the grill coming off, one corner
would come loose and it would eventually come off. Had a good voice
though. I don't know where I got what I have now, but the battery is a
real pain in the ass to change, but it does not beap, just speaks the
time.

I'm not wearing a diaper, so don't try to change me.
