I just changed the factory-issued CR 2412 "ten year battery" in a
Seiko 8F32. Maybe five years on the battery. Good enough. We'll see
how the new one does. The CR 2412 is rated at 100 mAh.




Hi, excerpt from the manual:

The miniature battery which powers your watch should last

approximately 5 years (Cal. 4F32) / 10 years (Cal. 8F32 and 8F33).

However, because the battery is inserted at the factory to check the

function and performance of the watch, its actual life once in your

possession may be less than the specified period. When the battery

expires, be sure to replace it as soon as possible to prevent any malfunction.



If the calendar checking function is used frequently, the battery life may be less

than the specified period.
