Before I start to trawl through Amazon, Argos et al, does anyone know if windy-up ladies' (lady's') wristwatches are still out there or are they all battery?...the cheaper the better and I hope I haven't used a misplaced apostrophe! Ta Muchly and Keep Well.

Seems they are now considered vintage and attract a higher price. I've linked one from Etsy (love that site) but it looks like if cheap is the main key then argos has one or two very cheap battery watches. Cheap enough to throw away when it goes flat.

At present, partner has found a Chancellor swiss-made pendant watch, which is merrily ticking away since she wound it up just to see if it would... but it is at the wrong time, so when it stops, she is going to wait till the time is same as watch showing, then start it going again!...confused?...I am and I'm only just writing this!
