I’ve typically had solar quartz watches and 1 auto so I’ve not needed to think about battery life too much. While trying to figure out how to best set the time on the TSAR, I ended up making close to 12-15 times changes over 2 days – a lot, I know but the high torque module makes the minute hand jumpy and it took a while to…
