Question about new Omega

Thinking of buying following omega quartz , my first quartz.

https://www.omegawatches.com/watches/seamaster/aqua-terra-150m/quartz-385-mm/23110396006001/

While talking to the person from omega boutique, the guy mentioned, that I have to get this watch serviced every 4 years which costs $450. I asked what do they service on quartz movement? He answered they thing whole movement as the contacts with the battery gets dull over the period and may reduce battery life. For example first year battery may last for 3 years. After first replacement it would last 2 years and keep reducing if watch is not serviced.

I understand servicing mechanical/automatic movements but not sure if a quartz movement need any servicing other than changing the battery, if used with care.

Let me know what you think of what the guy at Omega was telling me?

Wow. If I was told crap like that I would take my money elsewhere. I am surprised it was from a boutique.

Thanks for responding Jim. Yes he did mentioned about copper contacts and current drain. [emoji3][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

As an aside, have you considered getting the older version of this watch, the 231.10.39.61.06.00?



Applied markers / logo vs printed on the newer one, and better movement (time zone changing). Much nicer watch - IMO, the newer version is a downgrade. And you'd save a ton of money (could go towards a service IF it was needed..). Just a thought.
