Tissot watch bizarre behaviour

[banana]

I have a tissot watch -battery operated only. I have had it for about 10 years or so and it has needed few new batteries.When it does need new batteries it stops dead -no running slowly or erratically. I am having chemotherapy these past few months and it has puzzled me that when I take the watch off to have the treatment the watch goes very slowly.As the treatment can take 5 hours to administer ,the watch can be as much as 1 hour slow. This is a variable amount though and it may only be 30 mins or so out. The treatment is 3 weekly and the watch runs perfectly during the rest of the time .It is of course always on my wrist too.Any ideas as to why it does this?

I had a watch like that too.  I put it down to the fact that it was probably wearing out & would only work when warm - a bit like me!!   Could you get somene else to wear it for you while you have chemo & see what happens?  Good luck with the treatment - hope it's not too tough for you (been there myself).

Ah! Now that was not something I had thought of - knew there must be a reason there somewhere. .Thanks Noddy .And the treatment has had its moments but not too bad up to now -(5th of 8 treatments) Hope you are now well recovered.

It will be 20 years this year since I finished the treatment so I hope that makes you feel optimistic!!

When you've finished why not treat yourself to a new watch - you deserve it!

I don't have an answer, but I just wanted to wish you well.
