Bought a watch at Target a few years ago.

Went in to have them put a new battery in it.

They won't change the battery due to potential liability issues.

Pisssss off, Target.

Target is a good store but, I'm not sure I would trust one of their employee's to change a watch battery,

however......

If the watch is decent enough to have the battery changed and not just trashed I would consider Target doing you

a favor.

You guys shop at Target? Isn't that like a French Walmart?

Casio G-Shock, brother. 10 year battery. Of course, it looks tacky with a suit, but who the hell wears a suit?

I've had it for 8 years already, not a single issue, and I paid $60 for it on base in 2006. I think that's a steal at $56.

ha! ....agreed.........

But when I see people walking around, even business types........no watches.

Back when I was doing the business thing in da 80s & 90s, almost everyone wore watches.

Nowadays, it's more like a piece of jewelry.
