How long should a longines battery last

Referring to people as retards does you no credit and I doubt whether it impresses many folks on here. It could be argued that firms such as Goldsmiths should have trained competent staff on site who can confidently fit new bateries to watches when they are sold, but that's a failing of the management and not the staff themselves.

Would you walk into Goldsmiths and call the staff retards? I've got Grande Clasique since Battery changed 3 times so gives average years on battery. They usually stay long on window display before being sold this is a type of watch stop by and buy, so dealers stock them in mass quantities Fair dealer should replace battery without hassle and free of charge. I'd expect an absolute minimum of 2 years battery life on any watch provided the movement's in good condition.

There's potential for problems when a watch has been in stock for up to 12 months; this could be resolved if retailers fitted a new battery when the watch was sold. That's easier said than done, some watches are difficult to open and there's scope for damage if the job isn't done very carefully. My wife's Constellation is a good example, I had great difficulty getting the back off without marking the case. Do all ADs have staff on site who are capable of doing this properly?

I don't know but I have my doubts. Organisations such as Goldsmiths don't cover themselves themselves in glory at times, and I'd have no hesitation in voicing criticism if I felt it justified Being a customer does not give you the right to behave badly. It would be a none issue I'm sure. Otherwise how much is it to go elsewhere and buy a new battery?

Personally I'd ask the question but not be too hurt if they said no. I completely expect them to sort it though. Always the risk that it's not the battery causing the watch to stop. I guess it should be treated as a warranty issue rather than assume it's the battery. At least he's covered if it is more than a battery issue.
