I purchased this watch for my mother and the battery died in 3 months.  I am not sure if amazon had these watches for a while and therefore old stock, but Timex wants $10.00 to replace the battery and says it is not covered under any warranty.  It will cost me more to send it for service.  Overall a waste of $35.00.  Next time I will purchase a watch from a company that will guarantee the "entire" watch including battery for at least the first year.
