My 6.5 year old Storm watch started losing time several months ago. This after putting a new battery in, in December. I finally took it to the place that had put the battery in so they could check it.
Its not the battery, they cleaned the watch,told me to 'see how it goes'...and recommended I consider a new movement at a cost of £30. I'm not sure this is worth it...how long would it extend the life of the watch? Any ideas?

My guess is 6.5 years! That's how long it lasted before.
This is, presumably, a quartz watch so a new "movement" would be like having a new watch - assuming the job is done properly.

Thank you both for your answers. I guess I will need to consider that as a viable option to a new watch. Thanks again.
I think a new watch may be more worthy.
Have a brand new look, why not?
Try Lidl. A couple of years ago I bought one of their dive watches for £6.99 intending to use it on holiday, then give it away to a deserving local. I still have it - it keeps better time that my Rolex Submariner Officially Certified Chronometer!
