New Quartz dead

How likely is it that a new acquisition has a dead battery?

Symptoms: The watch did work for a little while, but then it got tempermantal and now it has stopped.

Should I just change the battery or is it likely that there is an underlying problem?

Try replacing the battery and see if that solves the problem :)

There is a HUGE variance in the quality of watch batteries. Locally the dollar store sell really cheap batteries that go flat really quick and I would guess the reps come with something like this stock. Look for a good name brand but there is a big difference in price the Chinese cheapies are 4 for a dollar and a premium is about $8.00 ea

Asked the dealer if it would have been sent with an old battery.

This was the answer:

dear friend

of course no

the new watch ,goes with the new battery

but the battery lifetime depends on how you use the watch ,my friend

Should I only look at it with one eye??

Will go and have the battery checked - hopefully today.

Of course, new battery goes in new watch when new watch is made. New watch may then sit in inventory for quite some time... :whistling: The X-33's I owned were 'new watches', but still needed the batteries replacing immediately :pardon:
