I got this as a gift for my elderly mother so she doesn't have to worry about batteries anymore. I just found out that she puts it on 2 times a day because it doesn't keep time. She was upset because she said to me "This is such a beautiful watch and gift" and it's chic! But a brand new watch should not fail. I've had mine for 15 years now and it's great. Now I have to pay to have it fixed and it's $145 on the Seiko website. God. If she didn't love it I would throw it away and buy another. Now this one is out of production and I messed it up. Just awful.
