My daughter has one of the above......

Any ideas?

old stock ?

I would recommend you buy your watch batteries from the USA, they are better quality and last for years

I've found cheap batteries that you buy in packs of "99 assorted button cell batteries" tend to be very short lived, but decent ones last a decent amount of time.

You may be able to get them cheaper, but cpc.co.uk have a decent range of GP cells.

Send it back to Casio to replace, or buy her the solar powered one like mine, 9 years and works as well as thedayi got it. A. Present.

thanks Lee,

had already looked at buying a replacement but its a limitied edition one that she is particularly fond of and doesn't want to replace it.

sending off might be an option but sounds like a lot of trouble for something that should be straight forward enough?

- youre right about the solar business. I have one with the solar / radio time check / analogue face and I'm well pleased with it. gone are the days where having a tag huer seemed like a good idea - the g-shock is far superior.
