I had my Aqualand’s battery changed last year for 35RM, around $7. It will probably last another 6 to 7 years. My Baltany is up for one soon, but not sure exactly when. Then my GBD200, in maybe 5 years time, my MQ-27 I can do myself, the w800h which should last another 9 years. Been wearing the GA2200 a lot lately and it will need a new silver oxide cell in maybe 5 years. Also my Q&Q moonphase.
The 2200 uses very little power, hands moving once every 20 seconds. I estimate it uses a quarter the power of a Swatch which takes a similar battery, and could go 10 years without too much fiddling with functions. This is good as I plan to wear this watch most of the time. At 46mm across, it’s not too big. It’s also quite slim and the aftermarket elastic NATO, very comfortable. I have gotten many compliments on the 2200 with its gray, marbled plastic case that looks like rock or ceramic. Hard to accept that this is my ultimate EDC watch. Just $100.
No news from UpLink on my water management proposal. No feedback on my writings much. Feeling like being in a desert of wealth complete with evil biting mosquitoes. So much trouble in the world, I mustn’t be materialistic. Think I will do a weekly 5 minute gospel show on my channel starting mid weeks.
My ‘adventure’ in FreeCAD 3D modeling nears its end. Took a while to figure out how to constrain a sketch and duplicate, fuse parts together. Must remember the stacking trough tolerances of 0.5mm. Testing paper STT pieces, more like cardstock. Saves a lot of money and time. Good ideas take a while to come.
A watch should say a lot about its owner. I think my 2200 defines me quite well. My watch has to be ostentatiously plastic and not flashy, polished, or colorful. Feeling like getting something new, circa 200RM this CNY but am not sure.
