I have had this watch for 10 years (Christmas 2009) and the original battery just died... AFTER 10 YEARS. It is really amazing. I have not taken my watch off since I was 15 years old and even though the battery died I feel lost without it. I just love it and would recommend it to anyone and everyone!!
I love my watch with no worries about changing the battery. It is a very easy watch to glance at and tell time in a busy work environment.
I bought this watch two months ago and very glad I did.
