I remember when I got my SD, I unscrewed the back to make sure it was real.
I put a new battery in it at the same time.

I simply do the math -- if I spend the money then what can I NOT buy later on....

JJ, do you demand a fresh battery too?

I do the nursing home test. I walk through the bingo area at dinner-time and if one of the lovely ladies notices my watch; then it has passed the chick magnet test.
