I have a Grand Seiko SBGX261 which was purchased in April 2019. The 9F62 movement battery has expected life of 3 years and yet my watch has stopped working. Surely less than 2 years is rather abnormal for a battery to expire? I'm just curious as to whether any other forum members have had a similar experience? The watch has been free of incident, no impact accidents to account for it to cease ticking , so I have to assume the battery is the culprit.
I will probably have to return watch under warranty just incase it's a more serious issue than an expired battery. Thanks for reading, I'd be grateful for any feedback.
