Has anyone had a watch that they did not wear for awhile (like 3 years for me), and it was a Titanium style?
I sent this watch for a new battery to Seiko ($100 for a new battery alone!), and then did not wear it for 3 years.
Well, I have had it on for 2 days now...and it is, again, keeping very slow time. At 9:50 am it will read 9:23 am.
This is not an expensive watch, really, but a Seiko Titanium with a calendar and second hand. The big feature is that it glows in the dark. Gosh, wearing it I feel like I have on my Capt. Marvel decoder ring.
Anyway, I love this watch even tho I have much, much more expensive ones at home.
So, does it take wearing it a month or something to get it going? Has anyone experienced this type of thing? It surely can't need fixed as the factory did a thorough checkup 3 years ago. I wonder what the problem is? Just not wearing it for 3 years, does that ruin it? Or does it just need more wrist time to start working right? Or do I...dread...have to just throw it away now?
