Bought a new watch. I think its this one
The $150 watches were a bit clunky and not really the style I wanted, the $240 watches are 'ecodrive' ie solar powered and should never need a battery.
This is the normal lifecycle of my watches - assuming they don't just get smashed.
Run ok 2-3 years
Battery replaced, runs six months.
Battery replaced again, craps out quite soon or something else fails - this time I couldn't adjust the time for daylight saving.
After I'd paid for it and the girl had gone off to adjust the strap I noticed another display thing hidden away with cheaper watches which would probably have done the job.
It would have been a bit mean to reverse everything at that point, and I was completely peopled out having picked up a new pair of glasses earlier so I said nothing and took the watch.
Now the waiting game begins
Will it crap out
Will it get smashed
