Seiko SNA225 Low Battery – How Long Will It Last?

I have a Seiko SNA225, and recently, it started showing the low battery warning by skipping seconds (moving in 2-second intervals). I was curious about how long it would continue running like this before stopping completely.

Would appreciate any input!
Thanks!

The person said the 5625 movement, albeit less beats/hr, is still a very accurate movement and is…

Is the SAB065 Cocktail Time a dress watch?

I’ve been watching too many youtube videos…

To me it looks like a dress watch a lot of the time. I have mine on a blue croc leather strap and believe it looks awesome. I wear this watch often when I wear a jacket. In some reckonings it pushes the upper size limit for a true dress watch. It has a date. Some say that complication takes it out of the pure dress watch category (pedants).

When I go to a wedding or something I tend to default to my 1957 Bulova. It’s undoubtedly a…
