Re: New Constellation Mini Losing Time
In Response To: Re: New Constellation Mini Losing Time ()

Now I'm confused! It is a quartz but are you saying it won't improve with time (pardon the pun)? And if the battery is running low as someone suggested then how long has this watch been sitting in the store? Which leads me to the question - is there any way you can tell when your watch was manufactured? I was given the pretty little box and instruction booklet, two credit card lookalikes - one with pictograms on and the other with the watch ID number etc., but can't find anything that says when the watch was made.

I'm really feeling inclined to march into the store and demand an exchange and if they can't do that immediately then seek a refund. I don't think they should need to do any tinkering on a brand new watch that costs that amount of money. Even a new $200 watch will keep perfect time for at least a week!

Thanks for all your replies
Anna
