In 1964 my mother and I were on a tour in Europe and the tour guide dropped us off at a watch store in Switzerland. We both bought watches with 18KT gold bands --- and I also bought a beautiful pendant watch --- where u wind them. They're all still ticking. I have many Eclissi watches that I bought from the Q years ago. I don't wear watches often now since I'm retired - and the batteries are always DEAD.

@kivah  If you don't wear them, but want to keep them, just pull the stem away from the side of the watch. This saves the battery. When you decide to wear one, just set it to the correct time and push them stem back snug against the side of the watch.

I always pulled the stem out (or probably forgot) - and the batteries always died. I have at least 12 beautiful watches sitting in my jewelry drawer (most have Eclissi sterling silver bands) - and I won't buy any more batteries. I just don't understand why they switched from winding watches to battery watches.
