·My X-33 Skywalker was purchased new from an OB in late 2022. The watch has been great and amazingly accurate but about a month ago, I noticed that the backlight stopped working - the watch was functioning fine otherwise. After reading online, it seems like this usually happens when the battery needs replacement. I thought, maybe the watch was sitting around for years before it ended up with me?
I took my watch to the local OB and the onsite tech decided to send it to Omega to check for a malfunction with the movement. If it were me, I’d replace the battery first to see if that restored the backlight. It’s now been nearly two weeks and I checked in for an update, they have no ETA on when I can expect it back.
I’m feeling frustrated and am wondering: for others who own the X-33, considering the battery needs to be replaced every couple of years, is this typically something the OB can handle or does it always require being sent back to Omega? That seems excessively high maintenance and expensive. I’m wondering if I made a mistake when buying this watch.
Thanks
