3 months on of normal 24/7 use and no problem to report.
If it ain't broke, don't poke: replacement battery and disconnected
spring contact remain on the outside.

I have a Waveceptor, don't know the module number, but it's "solar
powered".Â* I don't use the backlight much, but what I remember is I got
it in the spring of 2006, and it's still running fine on the first
battery. At one time, I accidentally activated the function where if you
move the watch at a certain angle the backlight comes on, no need to
press a button.Â* Before I figured out how to reset that, the "battery
indicator" was down one bar, I think the only time it's never been at
"full power". I paid about 20 dollars for it, wanting the "atomic watch"
aspect, but it's nice not to have to change the battery.Â* I know on my
previous Casio, somehow the replacement battery lasted a very short
time, and then the strap broke, so I abandoned it, rather than buy a
second battery so soon on top of needing a new strap.

I have had 2 of the Casios. Both of them failed when the case broke.
They still ran fine, but with a broken case they got filled with
moisture and the crystal fogged over.
