My wife purchased this watch for me last Christmas.  It's one of my all time favorite watches, looks wise, but it has stopped keeping time. Some days it's very accurate, other days it will lose 6 hours over night, or 20 minutes or more from the time I put it on in the morning.

I have replaced the battery twice...to no avail. The way the the watch loses time, I'm wondering if the battery isn't loose.

I'm was looking into having my watch repaired, but seeing that it's so inexpensive, I might just buy a new one...especially since the cost of repair will be a significant part of the cost of a new watch.

This is the first watch that I've had fail so soon after it was purchased.

Update:  January 2013;  My wife contacted Bulova...and they repaired the watch at no charge.  It took about 4 weeks to get it back, but it now works as advertised and is on my wrist as I write this update.

It turns out that it wasn't a battery issue, but a faulty movement.
