Grand Seiko 9f movement battery change
Considering getting a quartz diver and wonder how often the battery needs to be changed? I heard some said 2 and some said 4 years. What's your experience?

Not sure, but changing the battery is a piece of cake. It just snaps in and out.

^ agreed I changed the battery myself - super easy. I should've taken a picture of the inside - the finishes are amazing.

It's three years. I've changed batteries on my SBGX061 and 091 without a problem. Enjoy the sight of the 9F when you do.

Whats the cost?
I read you have to send back for a service so that is interesting? |

I think my 9f GS will out live me. I hope when my son sends it in for service in 48 years they will still have the parts. I fear technology will have advanced too far by then. |
