Does that mean we'll have to change it in 5 years time?

My watch lasted for 5 years,then it started to die, then i changed it.

I wonder......

Just a Question. According to that diagram, the Air Intake is directly where you plug it into the stand. Does that actually make sense?

He means internal console batteries, for keeping the time, not for actual watches. Also, watches need to "tick" or display a..er...display. It also keeps itself topped up when the console is on.

I was joking. I always wondered how the cube clock was always running, only found out not long ago that there was a battery in it.

 

Wonder what hte other 2 outlines are. maybe nothing, maybe something?

(As a side note, always wear your wrist straps. One of our ad girls became so engrossed in tennis that the Wii remote slipped from her hand and crashed into a nearby wall at mach speeds; luckily, although the strap broke, the back case flew off and the batteries spilled out, it all worked again when we put it back together.)

 

Thats good to hear.

RUMOR: Wii Disrupts Pacemakers

 

While the silver set might be in Nintendo's cross hairs, old gamers with bad tickers beware. We've heard this from a few sources, but nothing has yet been confirmed or denied by Nintendo, so take this with pitch of salt. Apparently, the infrared Wii-mote is not good for pacemakers and can interfere with them. Nintendo supposedly put up signs at the recent Nintendo World event in Japan as a precaution. Me, I didn't see such notices, and this is the first I've heard of this. We've contacted Nintendo to get clarification. Stay tuned.(Taken from Kotaku)

The DS, PSP, and PS3 Premium Disrupts Pacemakers, too.

 

So do cell phones, microwave ovens, x-rays, cordless phones, security screenings at airports and soforth.
