watso's wall clock would slow down and then stop- so watso left the battery out in the sun to give time to recharge a bit - did this a couple of times.

lol one thing that watso noticed (a revolutionary break through moment ) was that the clock would stop when the second hand was going up hill .. ie somewhere between the 7 and the 8 (or whatever) ..

so instead of a wall clock - watso now has a bench clock - and the clock just laying on its back, taking it nice and easy and no uphill effort required for the second hand

lol watso has spare batteries - but watso has a complicated storage system and simply has no idea where the spare batteries are

update..

clock really starting to slow down now - the other day the clock was about 5 minutes slow - today it is about 15 minutes slow...

it seems that frugal watso got about an extra 2 months from the wall clock by placing it on the bench
