Message: <blockquote data-quote="ghostler" data-source="post: 560462" data-attributes="member: 9204"><p>Last week of February we were Philippines bound. I wanted a watch that was reliable, didn't know what our electricity situation would be like. I left behind my sports watch that tracks my heart beat, keeps tabs on sleep data, etc. It required recharging every couple days.</p><p></p><p>[ATTACH=full]30048[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p>It was a gift from my daughter about 15 years ago. Made in China, appeared to be very sturdy with a quartz movement, but then I had a difficult time removing the extra wristband links to fit my wrist. So, it sat in a drawer all these years.</p><p></p><p>Now with more tools collected since, I was able to pop loose the removable pins, shortened the wristband. I also managed to pop the back off, to replace the battery. Got it matched up.</p><p></p><p>The manufacturer had made the back extremely hard to put back on, it must have been about 0.001 of an inch over what it should have been. I finally wrestled it back on, a press fit. The non-quartz electric Seiko I had 50 years ago in college had a back that was waterproof, but easy to pop off to replace the battery.</p><p></p><p>The little self adhesive silver framed celluloid window to cover the date had come loose of its own accord. I guess the adhesive dried up, causing it to pop loose with motion. If I noticed it prior to getting the back on, I would have just simply removed it, not necessary and looks good without.</p><p></p><p>The difficulty I had getting the back on, I just left it where it has not moved all this time, the 26 minute location on the dial. I didn't miss tracking my sleep for 3 weeks nor my heartbeat, either.</p></blockquote><p></p>
