"Automatic Quartz" (Piezo) Watch batt/ops/repair
How do these work? (I generally believe it has some sort of Piezoelectric generator)
What if it stopped (I didn't use it for a few days)? Does it have any battery which after a few years needs replacement? Any chance I can find out what battery Curren M8039B uses so I only open it once? And see what's inside (schematics) before I risk breaking it? much obliged (I was once at a lecture where someone used a piezo generator with a device that created eddies in forest fires so they could call in the fire on a cellular network without battery or wired power. I thought it was so cool I found this ten buck watch that worked that way.) - = - Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus, BioStrategist http://www.panix.com/~vjp2/vasos.htm ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.

It hasn't charged by motion.
Maybe I can find a van der Graaf static egenrator...??!! - = - Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus, BioStrategist http://www.panix.com/~vjp2/vasos.htm ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.
