    In my experience a watch to avoid is the kinetic one's that charge a battery via movement of the wrist, they're fine until the battery gets old and can no longer hold a charge which lasted about 5 years in mine IIRC? The same as a standard watch battery and they cost almost as much as the watch to replace, so what was the point of that?

    And no I didn't over charge it!

        Surely it's cheaper to go to your local "massage parlour"?

          Agreed a high class visit would be cheaper. But Ive been a bit naughty recently and as a result this is the cost I must pay for forgiveness.

              I didn't know the battery was a weakness when I bought it, again what is the point of a kinetic watch where the battery only lasts 5 years? The same as a fully charged £1.99 battery from boots.

              I was so disappointed it went in the bin, it’s the Toyota Prius of the watch world... pointless.

                Kinetic watches don't have batteries, They have a coiled spring. Well all mine have anyway.

                  Gucci watches are made for Chavs!
                  They are rubbish and far too common. Gucci is the next Burberry!

                  If you want a well made watch then buy a Hugo Boss. If you cant find a Hugo Boss (which will suprise me) then settle for a Casio!
                  Keep it clean!!!

                      Err, I don't think so.

                      Rolex,
                      Omega,
                      Breitling,
                      Tag

                      In that order.

                      The new ladies Tag that Uma Thurman is modelling is quite nice. About a grand from USA though.
