There's one way to find out.... take the back off.  >:D

I just got a Casio Edifice chronograph for a good price. There's something about an analog watch that keeps drawing me back. Perhaps that it has mechanical AND electrical aspects to it. I've become quickly attached to this one :D

Thanks guys!!!!  Really happy with it. This is my first battery watch in 37+ years and I can't find what battery it uses anywhere on the net or how long they last or how to change it out.

I am unworthy.....

:D

Isn't that information in the manual?

No, it's a generic manual that covers different Wenger models/styles and is mostly about setting/operation...it's just like the pdf one I downloaded off the Wenger NA site.  :(

You could drop a email to Wenger (Victorinox) and see if they can help. If not then you might just have to wait until the battery dies and you replace it. Once you pull the battery you will obviously know what kind it is and what you need to replace it with. Just write down the info for future reference.

What model is it? I will see if I can find anything online.

From some quick research I could not find the battery type.

I did find a number for Wenger and probably a better option phone numbers for the suggested watch service providers for Wenger. I assume they would know (they better).

https://www.wengerna.com/swiss-watches-overview

Follow link. Scroll all the way down. There is a link to find a store close to you and they provide the phone number. I would say giving them a call is your best bet.

On the Amazon listing the only info for battery is "1 non standard" battery.  :think:

I bet it takes something easy to find. Worst case you may need to mail-order one.

I bet it does as well. I think when Amazon says "non standard" they mean its not AA, or AAA. I bet it is a common size "watch" battery. I have been wrong before so who knows.  :facepalm:

Thanks for the link Cap and Saw, you are right. I can mail order them probably easier than I can go to town.

I just want a couple put back for when it dies....I do this for everything. My red dot on my rifle will last for like 8 years but I have 20 batteries put back for it because it's a funny size. Hell, they might even fit that watch.... :D

That's good, but when it comes to batteries you have to think of shelf life. Batteries will lose charge over time when not in use even when it is not in a device. Some faster than others. Just something to think about.

Indeed. I bought 2 batteries for my Edifice and the expected life is 2-3 years. Therefore, that spare battery should still be Ok in a couple years. After that, I'll go ahead and buy fresh - they're common and will be around forever :tu: :D
