http://www.smallbattery.company.org.uk/sbc_accucell1.htm popped this in last night as it was a bit "gainy" finally had the cajones to pop the cover and it had a 394 in it which was 1.5v wheras it should be 1.35v to be correct. SBC were an excellent company to deal with, and quick. I had to give the watch the "flick" to get the tuning fork going again, but I'll swear it actually sounds better with the correct battery.
BernardRenault-
I suspect that you have been quite lucky not to fry the movement. Thanks, that’s actually pretty helpful. Time to get mine buzzing again!
I’ve got the itch. Can’t stop thinking about buying a new watch. Can’t really afford it, don’t know what I want...but have nearly impulse bought several times this week already.

No idea, have never bought one or put it in!
All I know is that the movements are very sensitive to over voltage and certain batteries that fit will fry it.
