    Funny as I’ve not worn it since BST started, typical.

    The only knock at the door will be postie delivering my Renata CR2320

    If you need a reminder about how to reset it - this guide comes recommended by NASA astronaut Kevin Ford.

    Finally got around to swapping the battery out for a new one today



    Im not shy when it comes to battery changes, these are usually done on fairly cheap watches so entered into this one with some trepidation.

    Piece of cake and all set up as I like it and good for another few years to come.
    Cheers,

    Ben

    That makes the maintenance costs very low (batteries are maybe £3). Congratulations! The X-33 is a super functional watch. All the best. M

    I’m still looking for a 2nd gen one of these having been dodging tumbleweed in the WTB forum.
    Well done on the battery change though Ben, not sure I would.

    As recently worn on SpaceX expedition! Took me quite a while to get one on SC - but they do turn up. Prices on Chrono24 are a bit steep
