    Skagen had these kinds of watches with their Hagen line. Ran on a standard battery for nearly half a month. You could set up notification groups so that the watch would buzz and the watch’s hands point to a specific hour.

      hang on, standard button cell? if so then half a month is less than stellar, that could get expensive fast!

        I researched what kind of battery it was: CR2016, some kind of Lithium battery.

        And boy, what a brain fart: I meant half a year, so six months. It’s been a few years since I used that watch regularly, but I was impressed with the endurance of that little battery.

          yeah holy shit that’s actually really impressive. that’d only be like $3 a year if you did the replacements yourself!
