And yes, I said &#8220;<strong>Batteries<\/strong>&#8220;. Most of the time, these types of Watches will have 2 or 3 or even 4 cells inside the movement (and generally these are a couple of layers deep).\n<p>And then, think about this: <strong>Watch Batteries are NOT cheap! <\/strong>Sometimes they will cost you $5 each!
