Does my watch have a battery?

(the fact it has a digital display gives it away that it has a battery)

I've got a different model Edifice (ECW-M300E - module 5117), with two digital displays and it does not have a replaceable battery, just a solar powered rechargeable one.

A 3v MAXELL or SONY CR1616 or you managed to put it into factory 'sleep mode' ? try pressing one or more of the three buttons.

Yeah it still has a battery, it's just that it is rechargeable, you can replace it exactly like any other quartz watch, yours uses a CTL920 looks just like a normal button battery but is rechargeable, meaning that it is only very infrequently that it will need to be replaced.
All solar watches (at least ones form Casio, Citizen, ect.) the rechargeable capacitors are replaceable, because as we all know rechargeable batteries gradually fade after many recharges, as I say it takes along time though I have a Casio solar watch from about 10 years ago and it holds it's charge like new.
