I've been doing some re-organizing as of late and I came across a watch I had completely forgotten about. My Klaus Kobec Couture Sports. This was the last in a long line of quartz watches for me. I purchased it over 10 years ago and can't recall having worn it in the last 4 years or so. I've changed the battery once, just before I put it away, and to my suprise it is still running strong. Have any of you out there ever just "forgotten" about a watch? Or am I just a spaceshot... LOL?

Pretty amazing for the battery! Looks like a nice watch, and sure it was a surprise to see it still going strong.

The batteries amazed me as well. If you use the chrono features a lot I'm sure they would probably drain much quicker. When I first got the watch I did use them just to make sure they were acurate, but that was really the only time I did. And it is quite a nice watch. Water resistant to 3atm, luminous hands and hour markers, nice fly-back movement on the second hand, (when used), and a comfy solid stainless bracelet as well. The only thing I dont care for is that the bracelet uses pins rather than screws. The watch also came with a full 5 year warranty, and a very nicely finished wood presentation case.
Thanks, Joseph

P.S. If you go to timepiecesinternational.com you'll notice they're running a BOGO for FREE. So for around $200 you can't go wrong if you're in the market for a beater with some class... and you'll get a second one free. Nice gift for the wife or a relative!
