I was specifically wondering about Timefactos watches. thx.

Perhaps the answer 'two years' will suffice?

It depends on the movement. Also, the first battery fitted when new may not give a full battery life, I think movement manufacturers buy out of date batteries for pennies.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
It varies a lot depending on the watch and functions and how of you use things like alarm etc if present.
From my own collection an Oysterquartz lasts a couple of years, my Seiko 7548’s around 5 years and I’ve got an old Tag 2000 that was up to 7 years when I changed it recently.

Not got any better than 2 years out of a Seiko/Pulsar Quartz Chrono, CWC quartz anything up to 4 years and my better half's little Tissot ran for well over 6 years on its factory battery before it stopped.

You see, different watches use different internals and therefore the battery life is often different.
A new watch in good condition should give a minimum of 2 years battery life. This depends on several factors, the more info in the question the better the answer.
My Broadarrow PRS3 is still going strong after 10yrs😳. Keeps great time too.
Lots of modern quartz watches use lithium batteries that have a ten year battery life. My old prs18Q is from 2011 and still on its first battery.
