Re: Watch Opinion Please

That's about as good as it gets on the price. If you tried hard you might be
able to snag the same one on the internet for $100 plus $15 shipping so you
end up in the same place, within a few $. The Costco lifetime return
guarantee is certainly worth the difference if any.

The watch is a good example of an inexpensive modern quartz chrono, neither
better nor worse than any other quartz chrono. Battery life will depend on
how long it was sitting on the shelf at Costco and how much you use the
chrono - figure 3 to 5 years. Enjoy it!
