Yesterday I pulled out this watch and realized that it needed a battery and a new band. Not that I wear it but it was bought into my collection during one summer. I believe it was the early 90s. My family and friends of the family went on a short vacation trip to Virginia Beach and we went out the eat. When we left out of the restaurant I noticed a black watch on the ground. I made sure that there was no one around who might have left it. I would appreciate the same thing, because of my love for watches. We stayed around but no one came around for it, so I collected it as my own!
It actually came in at a perfect time because during the summer I would jog and run. I didn’t have a really good sports watch so it fit in just great. The band wasn’t so good so a few years later I did end up changing the band which I really still don’t like. But it serves its purpose. The watch is black with orange letters. It features two times (t1 and t2) this was one of the first times that was introduced to me. It was great.
The watch calls for a fairly large flat battery which I’ve misplaced so I’ll have to go search around for the correct size. I think the best thing to do is to retire the watch all together.

I too have this watch. It was a gift in the early 90’s It was one of my favorite pieces. It takes a special band that I have never seen before that I had ordered once from Timex, I will order another if I am able to. The bands don’t seem to last unfortunately. The large battery in it is marked CR2016 but on the back plate is FA2016. I don’t remember if I had it changed at an earlier time. There is also a very thin O-ring that goes between the backplate and the watch that I would like to replace. I am going to find out more from Timex about it and with luck get it working as original.
I’m glad I found your entry, it’s the only thing on this watch that I have seen thus far.
