No switch to turn on/off in my clock.  I put a small piece of paper (or a
plastic film) between the batteries and the electrodes when I don't use the
clock.  When in use, I keep the piece of paper in the battery box for not
losing it.

A byoyomi-speaking-clock is now available, but it speaks in Japanese.
