Vou seguir seu conselho sobre as baterias e trocá-las mais frequentemente. Eu tenho um registro de cada relógio e sei quando instalei e quanto tempo a bateria dura e eu só trocava 3 meses antes do prazo previsto para ela acabar . Tenho vários relógios baratos onde a bateria dura 10 ANOS, Casio, Timex, Victorinox e nesses baratos vou continuar com metodo. Meu Victorinox tem 30 anos e a pilha nunca vazou trocando de 9 em 9 anos.
Regarding complete maintenance, let's assume a modern watch using Sellita SW200-1. Sentimental reasons aside, isn't it more economical to just swap out the whole movement? Retail prices are around $150 so I imagine watchmakers can source them for much less. Why bother with complete disassembly, cleaning, lubrication and subsequent assembly? Does it sound like heresy from watchmaker's perspective? I've heard that even the big brands just replace whole modules.
hola the only channel I like for watches and technology....not that HYPE like others on UA-cam... showing fakes, million dollars watch for Bill gates, even he wears a Casio..😉...or they rent to show what fantastic people they are....be good y saludos de España
Very disappointed to hear the misinformation about battery change intervals here. I was enjoying this channel and found a lot of it informative. Please allow me to correct you and I hope you will either delete this video and start again, or add the information elsewhere. You seem to be lumping all batteries into one group. This is wrong. Some batteries are built to last 10 years and frequently last far beyond this. It is rare nowadays to have a watch, a good watch, with a battery that will not last more than 2 years. It is ever more rare that a battery with a quoted life of 2 years will lose it's structural integrity and ruin the inside of a watch. Yes by all means make sure you buy a 'fresh' battery with a recent construction date. Then there are the batteries inside solar powered watches 'capacitors' which will hold their integrity and power for decades. Do not waste your time changing batteries every 2 years. All you are doing is compromising the integrity of your watch every time you open it to change battery.
Sorry to hear you are disappointed with the channel you once enjoyed. And you are right, I didn't differentiate different kinds of batteries and put them all in the same basket, like 3V Lithium batteries that can be replaced less often. My bad, really. Still, I will not delete the video because of this, and I also completelly disagree with your opinion that changing batteries alter the integrity of the watch. If this is happening to someone, I recommend choosing another watchmaker, bacause watches are designed to be opened and closed as many times you want. And at the bottom line, my recommendation is only a recommendation based on my 15 years of experience in watch repair business plus the manufacturers recommendation as well. Everybody is free to choose what to do with their watches, including leting the battery run dry completelly before replacing it, and saving a couple of pennies per year not wasting money changing batteries so often. You are all free to choose.
Thank you for admitting your error. But as is usual for egotistical UA-cam uploaders, you have tried to worm your way out of it but are only digging a deeper hole for yourself. Allow me to correct you once again, as even with all your vast experience there is always something to learn... Not everyone is using a watchmaker to change a battery. Most people will either do it themselves or have a cheap jeweller shop do it. And I guarantee not many of them will know how to keep their watch it top condition after changing battery. So yes, if you are only talking about a specific battery that has a quoted life of 2 years, by all means change it, change it when it runs out. These 2 year batteries sometimes last double their quoted life so there is absolutely no need to change it for safety reasons before it runs out.
@@namemissing1852 wow, you really have no idea what you are talking about. You come across as someone who is very insecure who cannot admit that someone knows more than them.

I noticed no videos for the last 2 years +/-. It's a great channel, so hope you haven't given it up.
I have a Seiko Quartz watch purchased in 1978 that has never been serviced and still keeps perfect time. Amazing service life!
This channel is a fountain of knowledge, thank you Adriano.
Thank you so much. I have learned so much from you after watching 4 of your videos.

Sure, everybody is free to do anything with their watches. If advices where a good thing, we would sell it instead of giving it for free. Good luck.

@@garyboyle695 You will find it impossible to try and correct me. Then you will realise you are the one that is wrong.
