Me too. It's spend it or lose it.
My Jungle Kong watch is on the fritz. I may take battery out and put it away for a while.

HI.
Maybe it news need contact strips for the lcd. The display is less and partial. I think the actual lcd is still fine but the module is old.
Since the last battery change it just hasn't been the same.
I took it apart and checked and cleaned but still the same.

Sorry to hear that John,especially on that watch!
Possible to repair in your opinion?
Has anyone else on the forum got one? probs not I guess?

HI.
Probably. I can give it more looking at. I think I need a more powerful magnifying glass.
It is running but all characters are lit up, and frozen. All characters are sharp black. If I was to take out battery and reinsert it would work correct but parts of display would be dim.
I might just take battery out for a while. Hopefully one will come around for sale, but then I know you really want one so it would be yours.

Hi.
I spent some time on the Jungle Kong watch today. I did some repairing and cleaning and it is working well now. As well as can be expected for a 30 year old watch that wasn't really meant to last this long...
I'm happy so I made a video:
