Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Okay this faithful watch, which has been with me through flights (has that useful T2 feature so you can set your home timezone while you're traveling!), hot *soapy* showers, warmed chlorinated pools, and -20 windchill blizzards, and whose wristband discoloration I tolerated because I loved its ergonomics, died on me about a while back nearly 8 months after I bought it. If your watch dies early, your watch is fine. The battery is just dead. Why? Because you insist on lighting up the backlight on your watch all the time :p This watch takes the skinny CR1616 batteries, which are 3-4 dollars online. You don't have to replace the whole watch. Use an eyeglass repair kit to take out the first set of screws (use a surface where you can keep track of screws easily, THESE ARE TINY), then you will find instructions inside on how to take out the second set of screws. And yes!! It still worked in the pool =) The internal silicone gasket keeps it waterproof (don't lose it!), and the external clamps cover the external screws. Fixing your watch battery isn't rocket science. Unfortunately I had to tutor that day and I didn't have time to order a watch battery online so I bought a CR1616 battery from a jewelry store for $11 instead (RIP) but now I know!
