kungfugerbil   10 #15 Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) Buy a decent automatic watch and forget about batteries.  +1  I wouldn't worry too much about going out of your way, any watch battery place would do it. It's not like it needs to be pressure tested or needs any special tools. If the worst comes to the worst, it's no biggy - even Chinese auto movements are ten a penny.

jamesogt   11 #16 Posted June 21, 2010 You beat me to it! I wear a Fossil watch for everyday use (not as cool as yours flash Harry!) It is a nice watch and is water resistent down to 50 metres under water. It stoped today and I thought about taking the back off it myself to change the battery. A friend of mine told me not to do it, as I may damage the seel.  Therefore I would also like to know the answer to your OP.  By the way, I wear a Raymond Wiel at the weekend!  Borrow my Franck Muller, it doesn't have batteries Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
