    Nice one!

    Do you pull the crown out to conserve the battery when not in use Barry?

    Oh - I didn't know you could do that. Will give it a try, thanks Roy.

    Just tried, and the second sweep had has stopped. Again thanks Roy for that tip.

    I would have just left the battery to run down and rely on Timpsons lifetime supply. But better still would be to wear the watch more often - you don't see that many square or rectangular case watches worn these days. Or those with a leather strap.

    Effectively switches the watch off and not too onerous a task to reset the hands on a nice simple design like your Bulova.

    I have one square watch on a leather strap



    and my Monaco



    And some non-round(!) designs like these

    I use the Timpsons Lifetime Guarantee scheme for the batteries for our digital watches (all two of them).

    Funny isn't it when you get a guarantee things tend to work a lot better...
