Watch losing time!

travel_freak

Hello,

I have a battery operated watch (Ellesse) which keeps losing time on me! It has had a new battery but starts by losing 5 minutes pretty quickly, it keeps going but then gradually loses more time.

Please does anyone know whether this might be caused by just a dodgy battery (I've tried two) or has the watch given up the ghost now (it is quite a few years old now).

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

if it any thing like my seiko and you used to wear it all the time it and still do it mite just nead a service put they are not cheap ,if it is special to you do it mater.or it could be just a cheap battery
just to give you an idea of cost £95 for service for my seiko and £144 for the watch strap which includes a sevice, the last one i had one they replaced the insides of the watch and a new 12 month worrenty (the watch is 12 years old now it was 7 then)and i will not buy a new one wify bought it
