by battery.. but it never kept accurate time for me even after I changed the battery from Day 1. It would slowly slow down and get slower and slower .

I believe it was battery. I honestly didn't use it bc it became cumbersome to hold while doing your task. Skip it and get a cheap analog wrist watch that is water proof.

They run on very small watch batteries but the batteries are included in the price. It's a great deal! I bought several hundred for a family reunion and was the hero of the family!! Trust me they are worth every penny!!

I think it would be easier for you to wind the watch. I have to restart them dang things every ten minutes are so. Not worth the money

On my stop watch you have to unscrew a little screw to get access to the battery. Hope that helps.

It is a Lithium cell battery model# CR2032 by Energizer. This is the one that are used to go in most battery operated watches. I hope that will help you out.

I do apologise. I have no idea what battery the watch takes. It was bought for a gift. Sorry.

It uses a watch battery. Mine still works and it is supposed to last five years.

I do not have to charge it; so it must have a battery. I LOVE this watch. I have one and so do 3 of my friends; and they also LOVE it!! A great buy!!

Bad battery most likely. Its likely a "coin" battery (watch battery). Its not replaceable by most people (isn't designed to be replaced at all) but a handy DIY-er may be able to open it up somehow. You likely got a faulty unit with an old battery because they are supposed to last a very long time. IF you bought it from amazon and it hasn't been 30 days, contact them for a replacement. Contact the seller otherwise.From their website: "Power: Non-replaceable 3V watch battery"

Any hardware, dollar store, Walmart. It's a standard watch battery. You may need two. Just make sure the voltage is the same if you get one battery or half if you use two.

It takes a CR2032 watch type battery. Can't tell you how long it lasts as I've not had to replace yet.

Even though the battery is rechargeable we all know they all degrade and lose the ability to recharge. It does not appear they made this watch to be able to change the battery is the back plate is screwed together with some pretty tiny screws. I'm sure there's a You Tube video out there that shows how to take the thing apart and disconnect wires and stuff to get to it but I'm sure that would void the warranty. It's good for two years though. Better than most. That's the way companies do it anymore. They want you to have to buy a new item when the battery loses the ability to recharge.

The smaller ones use a watch battery but the bigger ones use a AAA. When i got mine it already had batteries in them.

yes, if you switch off the GPS, it's operated in watch mode with longer lifetime of battery

I have no clue yet. But I have an old, retired Casio watch that it is also analog-digital. It is said to have a ten year battery, and, though it has been in a bag in a drawer for years it is still running. I think Casios are gentle on batteries.

I never timed it with a stop watch but I was and am happy that it tops the battery up pretty quickly-wish I could be more specific but it has proved more that adequate for my needs - if the battery is dead I wouldn't think it would get it up to starting power in just a few minutes though.

It takes a regular watch coin battery 2025. You can buy it in any grocery store. I started using it in April of this year and I had to replace the battery in September so it is about 6 months it lasts for.
