Maybe you can find one that says Tough Solar on the dial.
Those run on rechargeable solar power... suppose to last 3 years without seeing sunlight, with sunlight... forever I guess?  laugh.gif

Yes, the rechargeable battery lasts as long as the watch, I checked the Casio website.
Even people lives in Alaska wear this watch with no battery problem for more than 5 years! laugh.gif

The below model has Tough Solar. drool.gif

For LCD watches, there are 3 important major components a buyer should aware of, the battery, the circuit board and the LCD display. When the company mentioned the battery lasted as long as the watch, did they refer to the circuit board or LCD display? Generally, a watch LCD panel has a life of 7 years. The watch is rendered useless (died) when the LCD panel or the circuit board dies. Assuming the the watch battery lasted 7 years, at that time, when you changed the rechargeable battery it will cost you couple of magnitude more compared to ordinary battery that you changed every 3 years. IMO, we live in a place where battery is ubiquitous there is no need for rechargeable battery apart from the coolness factor which is why you buy the watch in the 1st place smile.gif

Generally LCD watch display life is about 30+ years! thumbup.gif

Using solar energy, and reduce battery consumption is good, saving the earth. thumbup.gif

If LCD watch can tahan 7 years only, then how long LCD TV or LCD monitor can tahan? 3 years?? laugh.gif

Please read more about G-Shock watches! G-Shock is build to last many years!! wink.gif

Guys,

if you were me, which one would you choose between these two:

Both of them are leading in my shortlist. I just cant decide which one to pick. If you guys give me some input, I might be able to choose. biggrin.gif. I like both of them. It's just the price of Tag is higher than Tissot but still within in my budget.

thanks!

Take the TAG anytime lah! laugh.gif

Even u ask me choose Casio,Seiko or Tissot...I'll NOT take Tissot. whistling.gif

I don't see people collect Tissot, for budget-end collectors people go for nice G-shock and Seiko. wink.gif, for mid-end side...TAG and OMEGA, for high-end I dunno lah... laugh.gif

I read about the LCD lifespan in the owner manual. It is my mistake, I shouldn't generalize it too early.

When the time comes to chg the rechargeable batt, I hope u r mentally prepared to pay for batt. smile.gif

Huh, why? the battery very expensive? more expensive than the watch?

Come on, I don't think it will be a stressful activity to change battery, rite??

Anyway, why worry about changing battery now,isn't it too early? laugh.gif

Hi,

Would like to ask if I'm pricing this wrong.

Or is the lack of interest from the sales section (I do not mean lack of interest from people of this thread) based on something else?

I need to sell it to free up some cash, but I also don't want to sell it for a song, coz then I'd rather just keep it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

It's not easy to sell used expensive watches in LYN, moreover it's not a common popular brand here..I guess.

Not sure it's there any ORIS collector's out there.. hmm.gif
