Yes, you'll have to get the battery changed every 2-3 years on the quartz vs service every 4-5 years on the automatic (assuming no problems crop up with the automatic-a big assumption). But service on the auto can easily run several hundred dollars, while a battery change will be in the $20-30 range. Although I'm sure someone's quartz
has had problems that need servicing, but I have NEVER seen a posting here concerning this.

: with the mechanicals, as you most likely
: won't have to service either of them often
: at all, but the quartz will have to get a

: water resistance, that test is only valid
: for a year I think.)
