re: battery life by daniel on Feb 24,2003 06:14 PM There are a few different qualities of batteries. Most are rated by their life in years. I think Breitling uses a longer life battery. Nevertheless, the "always on" LCD will greatly reduce the life of the battery. Basically any function will cause drain, but the watch is so low voltage that it should not impact it much. Breitlings are meant to be used and a battery change is a simple procedure. Take a look at the guy who has his QP in service. Months and months!! batteried do have an advantage sometimes.
