I was not going to buy any more watch that requires batttery anymore, but after checking this watch at the Movado store in Vegas, I decided to get the pair. Never regret the decision.Be careful at the airport, though, as this watch will trigger the alarm at the X-ray machine at the check point , so don't place it in the carry-on bag, instead, place the watch in the smaller container. This happened to me twice at the local airport.
