Hi everyone,
I have a question relating to quartz movements (not specific to replicas). How long should you expect a battery to last on a quartz movement watch in general ? Its a chronograph, though I never use that function. I put one in myself and it lasted 3 months then died. I was surprised at this and went back to the hardware store to ask if they had any other people reporting the same problem - they had not and they kindly offered to replace the battery themselves, stating that if it was not in place correctly this might lead to abnormally short battery life. The same thing happened again.
Any thoughts ? Is there anything that would cause the battery to die so quickly ?
This is my first post, so I hope I put it in the right forum
